Rio Vantone, a 5 star campsite by Lake Idro
Do you wish to make the most of a piece of heaven, on the banks of Lake Idro, for your next holiday in northern Italy? Go to the Rio Vantone campsite, a 4-hectare 5-star establishment, running alongside this renowned lake, popular with tourists, located 30 minutes from Lake Garda.
A family campsite by the lake
On Rio Vantone, the pitches stretch over surface areas ranging from 60 to 100 m², all having access to electricity. They are located in the shade of the pine forest, by the lake, or on sun-drenched pitches near vineyards. You can also hire a genuine villa or apartment, backing on to the Vesta beach by the lake.
In addition, the campsite has ultra-modern mobile homes with a view over the mountains. The Relaxing Nature Lodge cottages consist of three bedrooms, fully fitted out with quality equipment and a large 26 m² terrace. You can also opt for a Lodge Safari tent, immersed in the surrounding countryside for an original, exotic glamping stay!
Upon exploring the site, you’ll find a heated outdoor swimming pool, with sunloungers, children’s paddling pool and direct access to a private pebble beach by the lake. Here, lovers of stand-up paddle boarding have all the space required, to allow their passion free reign! On the lake, you can also do windsurfing or go on pedalos, as well as hire a sailing boat or catamaran for a day.
A warm welcome in northern Italy
At the “Tavola di Oreste” restaurant, authentic regional cuisine is served on the outdoor terrace. The meat comes from a neighbouring butcher, fish solely from the lake, and the emphasis is placed upon the quality and flavours of Lombard cuisine. You’ll meet up as a family or with friends at the “Vantù” bar for a cappuccino, smoothie, delicious Spritz or Hugo Spritz, a mix of Prosecco and elderflower cordial.
In July and August, a snack bar - ice cream seller offers burgers, wraps and smooth Italian ice creams on-site. For gourmets, “Pizza Taxi” delivers gluten and gluten-free pizzas to you every day. You’ll find a mini-market with bread and sweetbreads and buns, Italian and international gastronomy and local wines, and the “Lamora” shop, which offers a selection of clothes, children’s games, accessories, fine wines and spirits.
In summer, the “Villa Bambini” mini club accommodates children for 4 days a week for sports tournaments, competitions, forest walks, educational and play games and craft activities. They can also meet up on the play area, and play each other at ping-pong or on the beach volleyball court.
Discover the magnificent Province of Brescia in Lombardy
Around Lake Idro, hikers can go along the trails of the Monte Stino mountains, Lago della Vacca lake or the charming village of Bagolino. You can hire mountain bikes on-site and go on trips with an expert guide. Climbers will find climbing walls, Tibetan bridges, zip lines and impressive via ferrata courses.
30 minutes by car from the campsite is one of the loveliest canyons in Italy. Various canyoning routes have been laid out here, with 6 to 8 metre high jumps, and slides into the water. Lovers of thrill-seeking can treat themselves to a paraglider flight at an altitude of 1,200 metres above the lake.
Make the most of your stay on the Rio Vantone campsite, to go and explore the delightful seaside resort of Salo, west of Lake Garda. You’ll enjoy the old town with its colourful tall houses, long promenade by the lake, and Place Vittoria, the ferry terminal. You’ll love Desenzano del Garda, with its Venetian houses, arched buildings, small squares, 16th century cathedral and castle perched on a hill.
