Getting to and staying in Saló, Lake Garda

  • The closest airports to Saló are Verona and Milan Bergamo; both are around an hour away.

  • There is a car rental service located outside both airports, if hiring a car is something you would like to do we would recommend booking one ahead of your trip rather than on the day you arrive - just to guarantee both a car and a lower price. You could carpool with other guests or get a taxi.

  • There are plenty of local hotels and Airbnbs, which you can easily find yourselves or follow some of our recommendations below.

Accommodation

The town of Saló is really small and it’s quick and easy to get around either strolling or by car. There are plenty of bars and restaurants to be found as well as supermarkets if you choose to go the self-catering route of Airbnb.

Hotels

There are plenty to choose from but here are a few that we’ve visited, seen and been recommended:

Salo du Parc - A lakefront hotel which is 5 minutes from both our venue and the main shops, bars and restaurants in town.

Hotel Eden Saló - A hotel right in the centre of town.

Hotel Laurin - A stunning hotel at the back of Saló town, close to our wedding venue with beautiful and grand decor.

Airbnbs

There are LOADS of local Airbnb’s, ranging in accommodating 2 people to 16+ so it’s up to yourselves whether you’d like to stay in friendship groups, families or just you. We have found a few, just to highlight range, and any of these would be great options if they suited your needs.

When looking for yourselves just be sure to check proximity to Saló as that’s where both the wedding and any meet-ups will be.

Villa Antica Torre - This apartment sleeps 7, it has a kitchen and living area and pool access (although it’s not heated and was a little chilly when we were there in October!) It’s a 10 minute drive from the main area of Saló and has parking access.

Bellavista - This apartment sleeps up to 6 and is within the main shopping area of Saló.

Agriturismo Conte Fontana - This is a 1 bed, apartment for up to two people about a 10 minute walk from the town centre

Villa Luna - This villa sleeps up to ten guests, has an incredible view and full amenities with a pool and balcony.



More Details

  • Our wedding will be a child-free wedding - except for immediate family.

  • We plan on having a Girl’s Day/Boy’s Day on Sunday 15th September which we will share more details on closer to the time. We would love it if you would like to get involved, however there’s no pressure to do so.

  • We’ll be having a Day Two party with prosecco and pizza on Thursday 19th September; this will, again, be entirely optional but hopefully lots of fun and a great way to make the celebrations last longer!

  • We’ll be looking to get final numbers in place by June 2024 so will be back in touch then for RSVPs.


Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions at all - we will help in any way that we can. We are SO excited and really hope you can make it to share our Special Day .

Ciao for now ♡

Helen and Nate xoxo
