We had good ice creams at da Pio in Via Antonio Bottura in Malcesine. Facing the town hall (Municipio) Via Antonio Bottura is on your left
Malcesine lies across Lake Garda from Limone and a little further South. Most days it is clearly visible and it's sometimes possible to pick out the line of the cable car running up from Malcesine to the top of Monte Baldo, more than 5000 feet above the level of the lake.
Like Limone, Malcesine is very pretty with old narrow streets decorated by flowers but in Malcesine the view from the top of the mountain behind is easily accessible by cable car. I'm sure the views from the top of the mountain behind Limone are equally beautiful but it's a very long climb and we didn't get that far.
It's surprising how much difference a couple of thousand metres can make. Where Malcesine was hot, the alpine meadows at the top of Monte Baldo were positively cool, even at the beginning of June. There were still places in the mountains on this side of Lake Garda where pockets of snow hung on.
This site is being developed so please be patient with us. Eventually we hope to carry advertising on the site from hotels and tour operators, travel companies and other companies linked to the hotel, travel, leisure and tourism sector.
We love Italy and we love Lake Garda, particularly Limone sul Garda, Riva del Garda,
Malcesine, Lazise, Bardolino and the town of Garda itself. When we get the chance
we're hoping to explore more of the towns and villages round Lake Garda, towns like
Desenzano del Garda, Padenghe, Moniga, Manerba, San Felice del Benaco, Salo, Gardone
Riviera, Toscolano-Maderno, Gargnano, Torbole and Sirmione.
There are still so many beautiful places we haven't seen and if advertising on this web site from hotels, tour operators and travel companies will help pay for us to explore further we won't be complaining.
We'll post any new photos or pictures of Lake Garda on this site.
If any of the data in the site is wrong, or if you have problems with the site or if you can see ways we could improve it, please email us. Thanks!

Jac and I would love to be able to travel more and I'd love to take more photos.
For the time being the day job has to take priority. We run a small company servicing,

We've also started to put together a guide to shower types, gravity showers and power showers at powershowerguide.com
It's still very basic but will hopefully soon have more technical information provided by shower manufacturers.
And then there's lovekin.net, a web site where we record some of the fault-
