Castle Details
Malcensine Castle Summary
The fortress of Malcesine dates all the way back to the last centuries of the first millennium B.C. As one would expect from any good castle, Malcesine boasts an elevated position and 360-degree views. This majestic castle has played host to many noblemen, Kings and Queens over the centuries, owing to its spectacular location overlooking one of Italy’s most beautiful lakes. Today, it welcomes bridal couples from all over the world.
Lake Garda and Malcesine
Lake Garda is the most Mediterranean of all the Italian Lakes, with its alpine scenery and warm climate, along with numerous facilities for holiday-makers. The views are breath-taking and offer surprising contrasts. With groves of olive trees one way and Lake Garda with its golden beaches to the other. While on the horizon, snow-capped mountains. In the middle, there’s a little hamlet, nestled between the water and the mountains. Welcome to Malcesine! Here in the town, you’ll discover cobbled streets, boutique shops and restaurants galore. Explore the cultural heritage, take a cable car to explore the landscape or relax on one of the lovely beaches. There are lots of activities to do for guests of all ages and all tastes.
Weddings at the Castle
Sitting proudly between the quaint town of Malcesine and the lake, your first glimpse of Malcesine Castle will take your breath away. Surrounded by a maze of narrow lanes that wind their way from on high, down to the shores of the lake, it is an extraordinary place to be.
There are two ceremony rooms in the castle. The first is situated on the edge of the castle with fantastic views over Lake Garda and comfortably accommodates up to 40 guests. The second is high in the tower; this beautiful, white stone room accommodates up to 7o persons. Alternatively, take your ceremony outdoors. This popular location offers unparalleled views of the lake and is just lovely by day but also as evening draws and the sun dips. After the ceremony, take a boat excursion with a champagne toast on board or a champagne toast by the lakeside. Then, let the music and dancing begin!
