Valeggio sul Mincio Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Borghetto sul Mincio is one of the “most beautiful villages in Italy” (Borghi più belli d’Italia). And it is one of those places that seem unreal. Like a fairy tale. A few houses, only 160 residents. You arrive here crossing the Visconteo bridge and you discover a tiny village basically lying on the Mincio river , a perfect place for a romantic getaway and for taking pictures of an Italy that is already gone in many other places: Stone houses, some ancient watermills, the view of on the melancholic ruins of the medieval bridge and the Castle appearing among the trees on the hill. But Borghetto sul Mincio couldn’t exist without Valeggio sul Mincio, the municipality (2 minutes by car, 10 minutes by foot). There is in fact no bakery, no post office, no pharmacy, nothing. All these things are in Valeggio. In Borghetto you can find only trattorias, cafés, pizzerias, souvenirs shops, B&Bs and hotels. The two were founded together by Longobards (VI – VIII century A.D.) . Their names mean flat site (Valeggio) and fortified settlement (Borghetto). #mynovgetaway #thanksgiving #mynovgetaway#thanksgiving
