Parc Highlights

A family-run parc with a friendly atmosphere
Just a short stroll into nearby Peschiera
Ideally located for discovering Gardaland

A small but lively parc, Butterfly offers activities, relaxation, and a perfect base for exploring the region.

When you arrive at Butterfly, you can’t help but notice just how much pride the owners take in this pretty family-run parc. The palm-fringed pool area is a delight to sunbathe in and offers a family pool, as well as a separate play pool for children. There’s a bar and restaurant too with a relaxed ambience that makes it the perfect place to round off a fun-packed day. Beyond the parc, you will find a small manmade beach on the lakeside, while the handsome town of Peschiera, with its Renaissance buildings and gardens is on your doorstep just a short stroll away. Once there, a 25 minute train journey will take you to the romantic city of Verona, made famous by Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’, making it an ideal parc for visiting major cities.
