Borghetto

Borghetto, a small hamlet of Valeggio sul Mincio, is a medieval pearl reflected in the waters of the river, creating plays of light and reflections of rare beauty, a true 'village of mills' that tells of ancient and poetic atmospheres. Arriving here gives the pleasant impression of a journey back in time, thanks to the traces of the past that blend harmoniously with the nature that welcomes them: among these are the Visconti Bridge, a fortified dam dating back to the 14th century, the Scaligero Castle and the neoclassical Church of San Marco Evangelista. Strolling through the small centre means listening to the relaxing sound of flowing water, breathing in the scent of the surrounding woods and the wisteria that fills the air with sweetness in spring. Also worth exploring is the enchanting landscape that holds the village like a welcoming embrace, perhaps at the slow pace of a bicycle.
