A large, modern parc with a lakeside setting, ideal for families who enjoy outdoor activities.

Bella Italia is a lively parc, set on the southern shore of Lake Garda. Lake Garda is the largest of the Italian Lakes, with clear blue waters making it ideal for watersports and swimming. Bella Italia takes full advantage of its proximity to the lake by offering many family-friendly activities based on Lake Garda itself.

The adjoining narrow, shingle beach offers safe bathing for children and spectacular views across the lake. One of the five pools is a lagoon pool complex with sun terrace. A promenade along the lakeside leads to Peschiera del Garda, just one mile away. The entertainment team on-parc arrange an extensive choice of family activities and weekly discos for different age groups. Parc rules are strictly applied here for everyone’s enjoyment, and no motorbikes are allowed.
