The Villa Albertini in Garda, which sits on the road to San Vigilio, was built during the second half of the 16th century by the Becelli family, the feudal lords of Costermano originally from Verona.
One of its attractions is the huge park that stretches across the hill with towers, belvedere, chapels, cloisters, greenhouses, paths and fountains. The San Carlo chapel is nearby. On August 10, 1848, in the Villa Albertini counts, King Carlo Alberto, victorious in the war against the Austrians, received the Lombard delegation, which brought him the act of annexation of the Piedmont Region.

The 15th century cloister with its beautiful loggia, the vicarial house and a few fragments of inscriptions in Gothic lettering, friezes, memorial tablets and parts of a Carolingian ciborium are all that remain of the original parish church which belonged to Ospedale Maggiore of Brescia. The present structure of the church in Garda dates back to the 16th century, and the bell tower was built in 1571. The church roof was later raised, a vaulted ceiling was installed in the central nave and altars were built along the aisles. At the back of the church is a chapel for war victims dedicated to the Madonna of Peace.
The church contains a 15th century fresco of the Madonna and Child. The confessionals were built by the school of the celebrated cabinet-maker named Brustolon of Belluno. The church also has a Papal bull of Innocent II (1138) engraved in marble near the bell tower door, a 16th century wooden crucifix, and an altar piece of S. Biagio that is attributed to Palma il Giovane.

The ancient palace in Garda (14th - 15th century) in Venetian Gothic style was given this name because it was the home of the Captain of the lake garda, the magistrate representing the Republic of Venice at lake Garda whose duties were to ensure security and prevent smuggling. It may have been the first home of the Carlotti family, feudal lords of Verona, who bought it from the S. Colombano Priory of Bardolino.

Situated on Mount S. Giorgio, which is also known as the Friars' Rock, the monastery sits on a hill (309 m) further inland from another on which an old fort once stood. It is easier to reach the monastery from Bardolino than Garda, which requires at least a half-hour's walk along a steep path.
