Hotel Catullo is located in the heart of Sirmione, a picturesque town on the southern shores of Lake Garda, Italy’s largest and one of its most enchanting lakes. Sirmione is famous for its thermal springs, historic charm, and scenic beauty. The town sits on a narrow peninsula that juts into the lake, offering stunning panoramic views and a peaceful atmosphere. Its cobbled streets, pastel-coloured buildings, and Roman ruins create an evocative setting that blends history with relaxed lakeside living.
A highlight of the area is the Scaliger Castle, an impressive 13th-century fortress that guards the entrance to the old town. Visitors also flock to the nearby Grotte di Catullo, the remains of a vast Roman villa believed to have belonged to the poet Catullus. Alongside its cultural attractions, Sirmione is well-loved for its charming cafes, elegant boutiques, and the tranquil waters of Lake Garda – perfect for boat trips or lakeside strolls. The area offers a perfect mix of relaxation, culture, and natural beauty, making it a popular choice for couples and holidaymakers seeking an authentic Italian lakeside escape.
