About Manerba
Manerba del Garda is a town of about 5,400 people on the southwest side of Lake Garda, in the province of Brescia, and it borders Moniga del Garda, San Felice del Benaco, Puegnago sul Garda, Polpenazze del Garda and Soiano del Lago. In the centre stands a castle tower from the 12th or 13th century, built on the cliffs over the southern basin of the lake, on the site of a medieval fortress and an Iron Age settlement. The homes listed under Manerba are scattered over a wide area, not clustered in one spot. Most have a private pool and a garden, and they are mostly built for small groups, so look closely at each address for its distance from the water.
