Cultural tourists can take advantage of tailor-made packages arranged by local guesthouses, holiday farms and bed and breakfasts and spend unforgettable holidays here at reasonable prices.

During the Roman Age, Sirmione was an important urban centre and the traditional holiday destination of well-to-dos, as evidenced by the remains of the largest Roman villa ever found in northern Italy, the so-called Caves of Catullo. These ruins, which date back to the I century BC, were once inhabited by the Valerii Family from Verona, while the stay of the Latin poet Catullus hasn't been demonstrated yet.
Because of its privileged position, which is idyllically set halfway between Verona and Brescia along the road leading to Adige Valley, during the Middle Ages Sirmione was fortified and became the centre of fierce fighting among different populations. Once conquered the city, the powerful municipality of Verona commissioned the building of the wonderful Scaligero Castle, an impressive building which is almost totally encircled by the waters of the lake. This imposing structure is one of the most appreciated monuments overlooking Lake Garda.
Sirmione's ancient village, which develops behind the Castle, still retains its original medieval aspect, and is characterized by a maze of narrow streets and fascinating squares surrounded by sumptuous palaces. It is now peppered with glamorous clubs, comfortable accommodation facilities and lively gathering places. A short distance from the city, just in the heart of the thick Lugana Wood, are the two lovely villages of Lugana and Colombare. Lugana is home to the small church of St. Orsola, while Colombare, which is idyllically set just in the heart of the glorious surrounding landscape, cherishes an ultramodern church which was realized in the late ’60.
