Manerba, Padenghe and the Valtenesi:<br> where people buy and what is on offer
In Manerba, your home near the beach
Manerba del Garda has eight beaches, from the Romantica to the Pieve to the Baia Bianca, and the Rocca nature park closing them off to the north. People buy here to be near the water: apartments in developments with a pool and villas in the residential areas behind the coast.
Polpenazze and Puegnago, terraces overlooking the lake
Polpenazze and Puegnago sit on the morainic hills, among the Groppello vineyards and the olive groves, a few kilometres from the shore. They are quieter than the coast and the view is wider: developments with a pool and villas with a terrace facing the lake.
The Valtenesi is the stretch of lake where summer is spent on the beach and the rest of the year on the hill, with Desenzano and Salò fifteen minutes away.

Frequently asked questions about Manerba, Moniga, Padenghe and the Valtenesi
What is the Valtenesi?
The belt of morainic hills between Desenzano and Salò, on the Brescia shore: Padenghe, Moniga, Manerba, Soiano, Polpenazze and Puegnago, among beaches, Chiaretto and Groppello vineyards, olive groves and the Rocca di Manerba park. It is the area of the lake with the most homes for sale.
What is it like to live in the Valtenesi all year round?
Quiet but not isolated: every town has schools, shops and basic services, and Desenzano, Salò and Sirmione are a quarter of an hour away for the hospital, secondary schools and the station. You need a car; in return you live among hills, beaches and golf a few minutes from the lake.
Manerba, Moniga or Padenghe: which one to choose?
Manerba for its eight beaches, harbour and the Rocca park; Moniga for the castle, the compact centre and the marina; Padenghe for the medieval castle, the proximity to Desenzano and the hillside villas. Polpenazze and Puegnago for quiet and views from the vineyards.
How do you reach the Valtenesi?
From the A4 motorway, Desenzano exit, in 10-15 minutes; Desenzano and Brescia are the nearest railway stations; Verona and Brescia Montichiari airports are about 40 minutes away, Bergamo and Milan an hour and a half.
What kind of homes are there in the Valtenesi?
Mainly apartments and small villas in residences with a pool, then detached hillside villas with a lake view, new homes in a high energy class and a few rustici among the vineyards. It is the right area for those seeking a garden, a pool and prices more affordable than Sirmione and Salò.
