Discover Lentiai

Lentiai combines impressive sacred art, historic buildings and varied trails with tranquil nature experiences. When planning your trip, you can therefore focus on different aspects: the Church of Santa Maria Assunta and other cultural sites offer insights into the town’s history, while the Anello Monte Garda, the Sentiero dei Capitelli Affrescati and the Laghetti della Rimonta provide different ways to enjoy the outdoors. Those looking for accommodation in Lentiai can base their choice on these specific interests.

Art and history in Lentiai

An important cultural landmark is the Church of Santa Maria Assunta. It is a national monument of Italy. Inside is a large polyptych created by Tiziano Vecellio and his workshop; Tiziano Vecellio personally painted Saint Tiziano in it. There is also a wooden coffered ceiling with twenty painted panels. The scenes depict episodes from the life of the Virgin Mary according to the Gospels and the Apocrypha.

Outside the church, you can also encounter evidence of local history and religious art. Villa Pantz acquired its present form in the 16th century. The 800-metre-long Sentiero dei Capitelli Affrescati connects Lentiai with the hamlet of Colderù. This trail features ten roadside shrines painted by contemporary artists, whose depictions establish symbolic links to local traditions and crafts. The Eremo di San Donato hermitage, which contains ancient frescoes, is also located in the woods above Ronchena and Lentiai.

Routes through meadows, streams and woodland

The Anello Monte Garda is a good choice for an excursion through the landscape. The route follows a ridge through pastures and meadows that are covered with daffodils in spring. There is a picnic area at Capitel de Garda along the Anello Monte Garda. In winter, the route can be explored on snowshoes. This allows you to plan the same trail from a different perspective depending on the time of year, without conflating its distinct characteristics.

Another nature experience awaits you at the Laghetti della Rimonta. The walk begins at Lentiai’s sports field and heads towards Bardies along the right bank of the Rimonta stream. The Laghetti are suitable for an easy, relaxing walk with small children. In the area, you can observe birds, amphibians, reptiles and insects; with a little luck, you may also spot red and roe deer. This section is therefore particularly well suited to trip planning centred on a manageable nature experience and wildlife observation.

A distinctive local character

The Latteria di Lentiai is also part of the local identity. It was founded in 1884 as a private dairy and produces butter, ricotta, and fresh and matured cheeses. Exploring this tradition complements the cultural and scenic impressions with a concrete insight into local production. This allows you to structure your stay in Lentiai around sacred art, historic trails, nature and regional foods in a varied way.
