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.
- Relax & discover: Thanks to its central location, you can reach Lake Garda in just ten minutes by car. A trip to Riva del Garda or Torbole offers you fantastic lake panoramas and plenty of inspiration.
- 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.
Conclusion
The Monastero Arx Vivendi in Arco offers you the perfect blend of monastic tranquillity and a Mediterranean lifestyle - an inspiring place to live out your artistic side to the full. Whether you're painting, tasting wine or strolling through the historic old town, you're guaranteed to find new ideas and relaxation at the same time. I look forward to welcoming you to Arco on Lake Garda.
