Creative time out near Lake Garda

Arco is located at the northern end of Lake Garda, just a ten-minute drive from the shore. The charming little town impresses with its medieval castle and narrow alleyways. A big plus point: it is just a two to three-minute walk from the Monastero Arx Vivendi monastery to the old town of Arco - ideal for spontaneous discovery tours or an evening stroll.

Monastero Arx Vivendi: a place of peace and inspiration
The former monastery has been renovated in a modern and stylish way without losing its historical charm. High walls, lush courtyards and historic vaults create a unique atmosphere. Here you can concentrate fully on your artistic work and at the same time feel the magic of times gone by.

Around the monastery and Lake Garda

• Vineyards & wine tasting: The hilly surroundings around Arco are characterized by vineyards, where a tasting of local grape varieties is well worthwhile.

• Historic Arco: the old town with its cafés and boutiques is right on the monastery's doorstep. A walk to the castle rewards you with a great view over the town and the lake.

Arrival & transportation
Arco is easily accessible by car. You can explore much of the town on foot; the paths to the old town are short and the lake is not far away either. For longer tours or excursions into the vineyards, you can hire a car or take the public bus.
