Traveler reviews
Paul
★★★★★9 months agoA lovely garden adjacent to the Lake, which makes for a great walk to work in the morning as the sun rises. You get a nice combination of garden, lake views and majestic mountains as a backdrop. Beware the bicycles whizzing through when the sun is down, but it’s generally a very safe and lovely space
Francesco Malagrinò
★★★★★a year agoWonderful park. Near the lake with ducks . If the sun is out you can make the bath. Take with you food, there is no restaurant or nothing near just a barbecue area.
