Work break in an oasis of peace, clearly with stores and clubs that do not disturb the spectacle of the village. Recommended as a place of transit on a tour of the area as it is very small and to be used as a very pleasant stop.  | Alessandro Pettini - e-borghi Community

About the village

Borghetto sul Mincio is a medieval enchantment that rises along the placid meanderings of the Mincio River. Its calm waters and the landscapes reflected in them encapsulate a thousand-year history, where nature and architecture blend in a harmonious embrace.

Let yourself be seduced by the magic of this village, where time and memory seem to stand still among the ancient mule tracks and water mills, which tell of the traditions of the past, when wheat milling was at the center of daily life. Every corner of Borghetto sul Mincio is a Renaissance painting to be experienced with one's own eyes, a canvas that goes beyond sight to reach the visitor's soul.

As you stroll along the banks of the Mincio, you will discover the village's most authentic soul. Caressed by the river breeze, typical taverns overlook the water, inviting you to taste Valeggio's famous tortellini, delicately linked to the myth of eternal love. Not just a dish, but a history to be savored under the historical profiles of fortresses and fortifications that guard the secrets of the past.

The Ponte Visconteo is a fortified dam that, with its imposing meters, tells of ancient military strategies, while the Castello Scaligero watches over from above, a silent witness to struggles and dominations that have spanned the centuries. Borghetto is a place where eras intertwine, where every stone has a voice and every view is a discovery.

Completely integrated with the natural environment is the Sigurtà Garden Park, an ode to botanical beauty where the vibrant colors of the flowers and the geometric order of the compositions entice you to get lost among the paths, discovering floral varieties selected and cared for with love and dedication. And for the little ones, the educational farm offers a window into the rural world, a connection to roots and the land that continues to nurture dreams and people.

Come and visit Borghetto sul Mincio when the hustle and bustle seems to take you too far, and let its slow pace and timeless charm reconnect you with what really matters. Here, where every stone, every blade of grass, every glimpse of the water will speak to you, you will discover that traveling is not just moving through space, but also through the soul.
