Padenghe is located on the south western shore of the Lake close to Desenzano. The picturesque hilly landscape of the Valtenesi starts here. The town with its small old centre is slightly elevated from the Lake. Via a small romantic road, a 1000year old fortress can be reached. In the yard a small estate with pretty vegetable patches has established itself. The view from the tower over the Lake and its nice beaches is breathtaking.
