Gargnano on Lake Garda consists of 12 hamlets. The roads are linked by scenic routes which pass through olive groves, meadows and woods as well as citrus fruit and lemon groves. It is also a small port and has become a magnet for sailing enthusiasts. Home to the Yacht Club, it hosts many international regattas. The town is perhaps best known for the Centomiglia (100 miles) sailing competition which takes place here every September and is Europe’s chief regatta of inland waters.
