Customer Rating

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.

Customers will be required to wear swimming hats in all pools at this parc.

Take a look at some of the local recommendations for days out and activities our customers have shared with us following their holiday at Bella Italia.

"Gardaland was excellent, made even better by staying open in the evening. We enjoyed a boat trip to Sirmione and also had a good day at Caneva World."
J. Follows, Nottinghamshire

"A visit to Sirmione is highly recommended and we loved Verona, it was beautiful although very hot."
J. Waters, West Midlands

"We went to Verona on the train (just 15 minutes train ride) and loved it there. We also enjoyed Sirmione and Malcesine where we took a cable car up Monte Baldo."
L. Shaw, Hampshire

"Gardaland is fantastic. Sirmione is our favourite place and we never miss a visit when we’re in Italy. We hired a speedboat on the lake which was the highlight of our holiday."
G. Crawford, Cumbria

"We went to many towns around the lake. Our favourite places though were Sirmione and Verona."
W. Miller, Herefordshire

"Many of the towns nearby were very good, and we really enjoyed visiting Sirmione, Brescia, Verona and Venice."
P. Milbourne, Cheshire

"Gardaland was excellent and we loved going out onto the lake in pedalos! All the family enjoyed Verona too."
J. Tiffen, Cumbria

"My 9 year old son loved the lake, going on banana boat rides and pedalos with slides. The adults particularly loved the boat trips and our visit to Verona. No car necessary here as public transport is very convenient."
N. Penn, Nottinghamshire

"Verona by train is cheap and easy - excellent. Desenzano, Bardolino and Malcesine are all beautiful, plus we really enjoyed the free wine tasing at Relais Corte Cavalli. Beautiful, but it took longer than we'd expected!"
F. Hattersley, Lancashire

"Peschiera del Garda is lovely, but Lazise, Riva del Garda and Salo were absolutely gorgeous. The location of the parc is perfect for exploring, there's so much to see."
J. Haveron, Co. Kildare

"We visited Sirmione just a short drive from the parc. It's a stunning, historic town and to enter you must cross a drawbridge. Once inside the walled town there's a large courtyard with several restaurants and beautiful cobbled streets to explore. Well worth the short trip."
A. McClurg, Co. Dublin

"We really liked Movieland and Gardaland at night."
P. McNally, Co. Tyrone

"Sirmione, a little walled town about 10 minutes away from site, is an absolutely brilliant day out. We found a restaurant at the castle walls and stayed there for 3 hours just eating and drinking! Was one of the best afternoons spent on our holiday."
A. Cunningham, Co. Offaly

"Verona and Venice were wonderful. Gardaland was fun, plus we took a trip to the wine museum, Zeni, which was great."
C. McGrath, Co. Clare

"We visited Verona which was really nice. Gardaland was also fun. We bought a day ticket for a boat trip and visited Lasize, Bardalino and Sirmione which was great value for money."
K. Hughes, Co. Donegal

"We enjoyed a boat trip to Bardolino, a day at Gardaland and our bus trip to Sirmione."
A. Black, Stirlingshire

"We went to Malcesine for the cable car ride. We spent a day in Venice and another day in Verona. We enjoyed all three places, however Verona is definitely one not to be missed."
S. Caldwell, Lancashire
