About 120 kilometers northwest of the city of Venice is the municipality of Malcesine, Italy. This beautiful city sits along the banks of Lake Garda. Finding an accommodation or hotel in this area can be a challenge if you wait until the last minute. However, by planning your stay in advance, you will have your choice of numerous historic hotels. The most popular landmark here is Castello Scaligero.

This structure has a medieval tower as well as fortifications left from the 13th century. Inside these castle walls has been found an Etruscan tomb. The fortification of this castle occurred way back in the 13th century by the della Scala family. Another notable attraction is the pieve of St. Stephen, which has been around since the 8th century. Perched directly behind Malcesine is the majestic Monte Baldo summit.
