Why Salò – the Mediterranean lifestyle on Lake Garda
Set in a sheltered bay on the south-western shore of Lake Garda, Salò, with its population of around 10,000, is the epitome of the Mediterranean lifestyle. Olive and lemon trees, towering mountain peaks and the lake glittering in the sun create a scene that radiates calm and serenity. Despite its privileged location, Salò has retained its authenticity – tourism is present, but it has not taken away the town’s beauty. Behind the elegant lakeside promenade, the Lungolago Zanardelli, lies the old town with its many designer boutiques. Anyone wishing to enjoy a relaxed beach life in summer will find pebble beaches right on the lake – and, with a little luck, a luxury yacht or two cruising across the bay.
On Lake Garda, often called “Italy’s sea”, life can be celebrated in many ways – with exquisite wines such as Chiaretto and Groppello from the Valtènesi, in the Michelin-starred restaurants of the area and while shopping in the old town. Salò offers an exceptional quality of life that has attracted many famous figures over the years: poets and thinkers found inspiration here, and in neighbouring Gardone Riviera Gabriele D’Annunzio built his estate, the Vittoriale degli Italiani. The town’s history dates back to Roman times. If you want to explore it, visit the late-Gothic Cathedral of Santa Maria Annunziata, the MuSa museum or the Palazzo della Magnifica Patria, once the seat of government of the Venetian Riviera.
Economy and infrastructure in Salò
Salò’s economy is shaped above all by tourism – but not only. Hotels and restaurants employ many people, boatbuilding has a long tradition on Lake Garda, and viticulture and olive growing benefit from ideal climatic conditions in the surrounding area. How closely past and future are linked in Salò is also shown by the innovative companies that have settled in the area.
The foundation of this positive development is excellent transport links: via the A4 motorway (Desenzano and Brescia exits) and the A22 Brenner motorway via Verona, Milan, Verona and the Brenner Pass are easy to reach. The nearest railway stations are Desenzano del Garda and Brescia, with high-speed connections to many parts of Italy. The airports of Verona, Brescia and Bergamo are within easy reach, and buses and ferries take you comfortably to other towns around the lake.

Client testimonials
Our contacts (Daniela and Cristiano) were exceptionally professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for high-end real estate opportunities on Lake Garda.
Best estate agent on the Western shore of Lake Garda!
Daniela and Cristiano assisted me in purchasing a building lot in Toscolano Maderno. I do not (yet) speak Italian so identifying real estate professionals who communicate well in English and who have impeccable integrity was of paramount importance to me. I communicated mostly with Daniela who speaks English fluently - Daniela facilitated communication between me and other professionals in Italy (such as an architect and a notary) in a seamless, timely and professional manner. Daniela went above and beyond to make sure that I received the information I needed in a format that I could understand.Cristiano and Daniela are very knowledgeable and professional on all matters related to purchasing and owning property in Italy and related matters. They appear to me to have a very high degree of integrity and I would not hesitate to recommend them to assist with the purchase of property in the Gardone Riviera area. Daniela, my primary point of contact, was an absolute pleasure to deal with.
A reliable, professional, and competent agency. Special thanks to Cristiano and Daniela.
