About Albisano
Albisano is a village at about 309 metres, above Lake Garda's east shore at the foot of Monte Baldo. It is part of Torri del Benaco and only about 1 km away in a straight line, but the winding provincial road makes it 5.5 km. D'Annunzio called it the balcony of Garda for its view over the lake and the villages below. The parish church of San Martino di Tours holds a 17th-century canvas by Palma il Giovane, and olives, wine and grain have long been grown here. Homes are spread around the area, with a garden at most and a private pool at some. Evenings mean a quiet village or a drive down to Torri del Benaco.

Albisano villa holidays: questions answered
Why is Albisano called the balcony of Garda?
D'Annunzio gave it the name because the village looks out over the lake, Torri del Benaco and nearby villages from about 309 metres.
How far is Albisano from Torri del Benaco?
About 1 km in a straight line, but around 5.5 km by the winding SP 32A road, so allow a short drive rather than a walk.
How do you get from Verona airport to Albisano?
By car. Verona airport to Torri del Benaco takes about 43 minutes, and Albisano is another 5.5 km uphill. Buses and trains make the trip a three-hour chain.
Albisano or Torri del Benaco for a lake holiday?
Choose Torri del Benaco to be on the water beside the 14th-century castle. Choose Albisano for height, views and olive groves, accepting the drive down.
Is Albisano on the lake shore?
No. It sits above the east shore of Lake Garda at the foot of Monte Baldo, so lake swims mean driving down to the water.
