Salionze is a village in Valeggio sul Mincio, on the morainic hills of Lake Garda, around 26 minutes by car from Garda town. Homes are small, most with a private pool and air conditioning, but you are not on the water.
Salionze is a frazione of Valeggio sul Mincio in the province of Verona, lying north of the main town and described as its most densely populated hamlet. The centre is modest: the neoclassical church of San Giovanni Battista on via Trento, with a clock tower capped by an onion-shaped copper top. Valeggio itself sits on the morainic hills of Lake Garda and has a 13th-century castle and a 14th-century bridge. Local specialities are Valeggio tortellini and Custoza white wine. Evenings are village-scale, so expect to drive for anything bigger. Homes are spread through the surrounding countryside and sleep up to five.
