Ca' Baldo: Lakes and Stories from Montegridolfo

Ca' Baldo gives your holiday planning a clear connection to nature: the municipal lakes are located in the hamlet. Montegridolfo offers a different focus—a medieval street plan, Renaissance art and trails to historic sites. This lets you weigh up your interests for your stay: time by the lakes, walks through the countryside or discoveries about the history of the place.

The municipal lakes of Ca' Baldo

The lakes are located in the hamlet of Ca' Baldo. Access is via the street of the same name, Via Ca' Baldo. The lakes include fishing spots and areas for spending time and relaxing. If you are planning a visit, check in advance which uses are currently permitted.

When choosing a holiday apartment, the focus of your trip is key: if the municipal lakes are your main destination, look specifically in Ca' Baldo and take Via Ca' Baldo into account when making your plans. If you want to combine different interests, note the places you would like to visit and compare the location of your accommodation with your own plans for each day.

Medieval lanes, frescoes and history

The Castello di Montegridolfo preserves a medieval street plan. An earth rampart is surrounded by sturdy walls and towers, with narrow lanes inside the walls. This makes the layout of the place itself a point of interest for anyone interested in historic settlement patterns. Rather than focusing on just one building, you will encounter several elements of a medieval street plan here.

The Chiesa di San Rocco contains a Renaissance fresco depicting the enthroned Madonna and Child between Saints Roch and Sebastian. The clearly identified figures give you a specific point of reference when viewing the artwork. If you would like to learn about the church in advance, you can also explore it and its frescoes through the virtual tour provided by the Municipality of Montegridolfo.

The Museo della Linea dei Goti offers a different historical perspective. It is located on the site of a former German observation post from the Second World War. From there, it was possible to monitor the area between the Foglia River valley and the Rimini area. In contrast to the medieval Castello, the focus here is on wartime history and the strategic importance of the area under surveillance.

Walks through the countryside and to historic sites

The nature trail, about five kilometres long, leads from the Castello di Montegridolfo to Trebbio and is suitable for walks through the countryside. Its approximate length and named destination give you a tangible guide for planning an outing, without specifying a walking time.

Another circular route, “l’Anello della battaglia di Montegridolfo,” leads from the museum along the “Sentiero della Costituzione” to the battle sites and then back to the Castello. The two routes have different focuses: the nature trail leads to Trebbio and is about five kilometres long; the Anello centres on the connection between the museum, the trail and the battle sites. This lets you choose between a countryside walk and a route with a historical focus, depending on your interests.

The right holiday apartment for your travel plans

When looking for a holiday apartment, let the experiences that matter to you on your holiday guide you. The lakes in Ca' Baldo, the narrow lanes of the Castello and the fresco in San Rocco are different points of reference when choosing where to stay. Check the location of an accommodation against the places you actually want to visit, and tailor your search to the focus you have in mind.
