Malcesine is located on the eastern shore of Lake Garda, directly at the foot of Monte Baldo. Its extremely picturesque townscape is dominated by a massive Scaliger Castle, which stands on a rocky outcrop by the shore and offers a breathtaking view of the lake.
The medieval town centre, with its small squares, arched passages and cobbled streets, has retained much of its original charm and exudes the atmosphere of a bygone era.
To the south, the beautiful lakefront promenade begins, leading to the lush Val di Sogno peninsula and passing several scenic bathing areas along the way. To the north of the town there is also a beach, although bathers share it with surfers and sailors.
A cable car runs from Malcesine to Tratto Spino, a peak of Monte Baldo at 1,760 metres. During the ride you can enjoy spectacular views, and from the summit you are rewarded with a stunning panorama of the lake nestled between the surrounding mountain ranges.
The mighty castle of Malcesine, one of the most beautiful Scaliger castles on Lake Garda, stands on a rocky hill directly by the lake, overlooking the picturesque town. It features Ghibelline battlements, but the most striking part is an imposing tower made of smooth white stone slabs that dominates the fortress.
This Gothic palace from the 15th century served as the residence of the Venetian governors (the “Capitano del Lago”). The palace boasts a charming garden on the lakeshore, inviting visitors to relax and linger, as well as beautiful Renaissance balconies and battlements.
The Funivia Malcesine–Monte Baldo runs from Malcesine, at the foot of Monte Baldo, to Tratto Spino at an altitude of 1,760 metres. From the cabin, passengers can enjoy breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The valley station is 1.6 km from the hotel.
The parish church of Malcesine is a single-nave Baroque church from the 18th century, adorned with numerous paintings. Inside, among other treasures, are the beautiful altars of Saints Benigno and Carlo, as well as a tabernacle from the 15th century.
Cobbled lanes, little squares, the harbour and the lakeside walk towards Val di Sogno: the centre of Malcesine can be explored on foot in a few hours, and it is about 15 minutes' walk from the hotel.
