Location & what to see

La Madrugada is located in the Paina neighborhood of Malcesine, a quiet area set along the eastern shore of Lake Garda. The position allows guests to reach the beaches in just a few dozen meters and access the lakeside promenade without using a car. The historic center of Malcesine, dominated by Scaliger Castle just 100 meters away, is a very short walk away and offers a maze of medieval alleys, artisan shops, and typical restaurants.

Connections to public transportation and the main attractions of the area are convenient: the Malcesine Bus Station is located approximately 250 meters from the property, making bus travel along the Veronese shore simple. Only 500 meters away lies the valley station of the Monte Baldo Cable Car, a rotating cabin lift ascending to over 1,700 meters above sea level. The marina is about a 3-minute drive away for ferries bound for Limone sul Garda and Riva del Garda, while Verona Villafranca Airport is approximately 39 km away.

In spring and summer, the location is a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts such as windsurfing, kitesurfing, and sailing, thanks to the constant winds of northern Lake Garda. On land, the Monte Baldo cable car opens access to an extensive network of hiking trails and mountain bike routes, as well as paragliding launch spots. During the autumn and winter months, lakeside walks and visits to historic villages provide a more relaxed setting to sample local food and wine in the town’s wine bars.
