Parc Highlights

• A lively parc with its own lakeside beach

• Stunning pool complex to enjoy

• Weekly excursions around the lake or to nearby towns organised by parc owners

A lively parc that makes the very most of its superb lakeside beach and glorious location.

Europa Silvella enjoys a superb hillside location by the shores of gorgeous Lake Garda, and has its own lakeside beach where you can enjoy the clear, shimmering waters. Created from two smaller parcs Europa Silvella has a superb range of facilities for all ages. In high season the super pool area hosts a weekly disco for children, while you can take advantage of the charming lakeside bar for a relaxing drink and home made pizza in the evenings. The parc’s owners organise occasional day-trips around the lake in their own boat, as well as weekly excursions to major tourist attractions. Try nearby Brescia or the beautiful hilltop city of Bergamo for a day out, and closer to home you will find good food and relaxation guaranteed at villages such as Manerba, San Felice and Saló.
