From the Greek "syrma" – tail – the Sirmione peninsula is a narrow strip of land that extends into Lake Garda. Loved and celebrated through the ages by various artists and poets, it now holds numerous natural and architectural treasures.
At the gates of the historic center, with its fascinating medieval origins, the drawbridge leads to the Scaligero Castle and the heart of the town, surrounded by ancient shops, sumptuous villas, and thermal waters.
At the tip of the peninsula, the remains of the renowned Grotte di Catullo rise, an Augustan-era Roman villa steeped in legends and nestled among olive trees and centuries-old vegetation.
