Holiday apartment in Padergnone: Vino Santo, mills and circular trails

Padergnone is an old village with glacially shaped morphology, situated in a depression oriented towards the lake district. Thanks to the climate tempered by the Ora del Garda wind, Padergnone is one of the last remaining places in the Sarca Valley where olives grow. For you, this creates a clearly recognisable local character shaped by landscape, wine tradition, village history and active trails. When choosing a holiday apartment in Padergnone, you can therefore consider whether you would like to focus on cultural discoveries, hikes or cycling tours.

Casa Caveau Vino Santo is a new interactive space dedicated to Vino Santo DOC, housed in Padergnone's former drying house.

At the Mólin dela Gióana, displayed millstones along the route of the old mills recall its former use. The parish church of Santi Filippo e Giacomo has a Renaissance structure with Baroque alterations. A mill built by the Miori in 1901 had a modern roller mill and a bakery.
