Holiday apartment in Voltino: views of Monte Baldo and Lake Garda

Voltino is considered one of the oldest villages in the municipality of Tremosine sul Garda. If you choose a holiday apartment in Voltino for a stay combining culture, landscapes and activity, the range of travel experiences extends from the Church of San Lorenzo Martire, through traces from the Iron Age and Roman period, to views of Monte Baldo and Lake Garda as well as paths to Monte Bestone.

San Lorenzo: frescoes, altarpiece and the history of the parish

The Church of San Lorenzo Martire in Voltino has three naves and is entirely decorated with frescoes. Its altarpiece depicts the Madonna with Saints Lorenzo, Stefano and John the Baptist. The work dates from 1575 and was created by Luca Mombello. Here, architecture, painting and an important sacred work of art come together in one place.

The church’s building history also spans several periods. On 23 June 1838, San Lorenzo Martire was elevated to parish church status. An extension followed in 1859: the side aisles were added, the nave received another bay, and the entrance was moved to its present position on the north side. Voltino’s patronal feast is celebrated on 10 August.

Historical traces around Voltino

The village’s past is also visible beyond the church. Materials from an Iron Age settlement were found near Voltino. In the hamlet of Mure near Voltino, a Roman tablet dating from the 1st century AD was also discovered. For families who enjoy combining historical traces with discovering the village, these finds open up two different eras.

Pozza, views and a deep rock fissure

At the wayside shrine of Pozza between Voltino and Ustecchio, a fresco of the Madonna del Caravaggio is still clearly visible. The 1668 fresco is dedicated to the Madonna as Helper of Sinners. Voltino also offers views of Monte Baldo and Lake Garda. The Diaclasi di Voltino adds a deep rock fissure to these features and provides a geological highlight.

Circular route and hike to Monte Bestone

An official circular route has been specifically laid out to help with orientation on site: its first stage is the churchyard in front of Voltino’s small church, located in the immediate vicinity of the car park. Hiking trail 110 leads from Voltino to the summit of Monte Bestone in approximately 45 minutes to one hour. A route to Monte Bestone begins in the hamlet of Campi–Voltino. The different route options provide a helpful basis for adapting the length of your hiking days to your own plans.

Holiday apartment in Voltino between culture and hiking
