What's the weather like in Lake Garda in April

Spring is a perfect time to visit Lake Garda in northern Italy, a short distance from the city of Verona, as this is the time when the multiple lemon groves which surround its shores burst into blossom and temperatures begin to rise.

Temperature

The average temperature for the lake in April reaches a warming 14ºC (57ºF) but temperatures regularly reach an average high of 18ºC (64ºF) with the average low being only 9ºC (48ºC), making it an inviting month for siting outside at the region's various restaurants and cafés and taking in the stunning views. As during the winter months, the temperatures at this time of the year tend to be slightly warmer in the narrow northern section of the lake than they are in the south where the lake widens and the landscape is flatter and more exposed.

Rainfall

Although things are warming up at this time of year, it does also become much wetter than previous months with an average of 78mm of rain falling. Despite the increased amount of rain, the number of rainy days remains fairly consistent with those in March, both with an average of 10 rainy days, and the chance of experiencing a rainy day is still only 39%. This implies that this month you are more likely to experience heavier showers than the previous month in which an average of only 35mm of rain falls.

Sunshine Hours

It is worth bearing in mind that the number of hours of sunshine increases this month to 9 and there is a 29% chance of a sunny day, making it ideal sightseeing weather, so just make sure that you keep up to date with the weather forecast. You are also 14% likely to experience a day which is cloudy but without any rainfall, in which case the warmer temperatures will make it feel quite pleasant and more conducive to the wide range of outdoor activities.

Wind

The wind this month will not cause any problems if you are out and about enjoying some recreational activities on the lake, with only a 5% chance of you experiencing a windy day.

If you're looking to get away from it all then try the secluded Residence Ca Del Lago set in the olive groves and lemon trees of a private park with stunning lakeside views on the outskirts of historic Torri del Benaco. Accommodation is in spacious and modern apartments.

Hotel Villa Rosa

Whether you're looking to explore the historic heart of Desenzano, or merely want to use the town as a base to discover the region, the Hotel Villa Rosa will offer you the perfect luxury place to start from. The warmer April temperatures will give you the opportunity to drink afternoon coffee on the sleek modern terrace with its striking views of the lake.

Parc Hotel Flora

Combine sightseeing with a sumptuous spa break at the Parc Hotel Flora at Riva del Garda. The hotel is nestled between the lake and beautiful mountains giving it a secluded, retreat-like feel and if the weather lets you down you can always indulge in a hot tub or Turkish bath.

 

Bars and Restaurants

Ristorante Le Gemme di Artemisia

Visit the historic port of Torri del Benaco with its ancient buildings and then spoil yourself with an authentic Italian feast at Ristorante Le Gemme di Artemisia set in a traditional farmhouse nestled on the hillside above the lake. At this time of year the blossom and the lavender which surround the restaurant's terraced gardens will be in full bloom, making it the perfect time to visit.

Take a trip down to the lake front in Desenzano and you'll find one of the city's most elegant eateries, the Ristorante Esplanade. With Romanesque pillars lining the lake and a beautiful terrace to take in the views, this is a genuine Desenzano fine-dining experience.

Things to do in Lake Garda in April

Limonaia

April is the perfect time of year to visit some of the lemon groves which line the terraced shores of the lake because this is when the lemon trees burst into bloom. The Limonaia at Porto di Tignale offers tours and tastings as well as beautiful vistas across the lake.

Castello Scaligero

Malcesine at the foot of the Italian Alps in the northern part of the lake is a beautiful place to visit but make sure you take time to explore the Castello Scaligero with its stunning views from the tower across the lake to the mountains beyond. If the weather is good then explore the beautiful gardens but if you get caught in an April shower take time to go around the fascinating museum which includes lots of interesting information in English about the local history.

Heller Gardens

Take a stroll around the Heller Gardens set in the hills behind Gardone Riviera and discover the beautiful flora collected from around the world bursting into spring bloom. Landscaped into beautiful gardens complete with, streams, waterfalls and ponds bursting with carp and with breath-taking lake views, this is a stunning meditative space to spend a few tranquil hours.
