Europa Silvella Lake Garda Site no: IL017

At a Glance

Customer Rating

Situated near the village of San Felice, with an idyllic setting amongst fragrant groves of citrus, olive and fig trees.

Located on the western shores of Lake Garda, Europa Silvella is a modern parc just five miles from the medieval town of Salò. There is a steep path down to the lakeside beach but here you can enjoy lovely views across the lake to the vast mountains beyond. Magnolia, oak and olive trees line the shady paths and provide some shade for the medium-size pitches. The superb swimming pool area is the focal point for children’s entertainment during high season where discos and activities are arranged.

Customers will be required to wear swimming hats in all pools at this parc.

Take a look at some of the local recommendations for days out and activities our customers have shared with us following their holiday at Europa Silvella.

"We would say Venice is a must. We took a boat trip around the lake and on another day visited the towns around the lake by car, driving through the tunnels they used to film James Bond! Everywhere is so pretty, it didn't matter where we went, there was a surprise around every corner."
C. Fender, Mid Glamorgan

"Would recommend using the land train to get to Manerba port and then onto a ferry on the lake. Sirmione was a lovely place to go on the boat and explore the narrow streets, shops and restaurants. Gardone Riviera, again on the land train, was great for the ferry to go to the botanical gardens. The sculpture trail was brilliant and kept our 9 year old happy."
S. Staniforth, Derbyshire

"One day we ate at Holzofen Wood Oven in Gardone, the staff were great and the food was amazing! We also got fantastic service and food at Mojito's in San Felice - very kid-friendly and we were able to walk there from the parc. The kids said it was the best pasta ever! We also had a great trip to the safari park (although you can only drive around once) and the waterpark at Movieland was also another popular trip."
S. Phillips, Midlothian

"Definitely visit Verona, Milan and Lake Como, and the Dolomites are also a must."
J. Kelly, Co. Cork

"We caught a ferry to Sirmione and thoroughly enjoyed it there. My little boy was delighted with the medieval castle and there is a nice little 'beach' for paddling. Portese is a nice little place and you can walk there from San Felice - takes about just over half an hour. From there you can catch ferries to other towns on the lake."
K. Fowler-Jones, Gwent

"Salo was good for a local town on the lake, and Verona was an easy train ride away and a beautiful city. Getting out on the lake on a ferry and going all the way up to Riva del Garda was stunning."
A. Day, Lincolnshire
