Curtatone Car Rental

Curtatone is a small town in Lombardy. It offers visitors the chance to experience the slower-paced Italian country lifestyle. This often comes as a welcome change compared to the hustle and bustle of Milan! While too small for a cathedral, Curtatone does boast a very interesting church, Santuario Beata Vergine Maria delle Grazie. Even if you don't usually care for religious buildings, this one is worth a look. The interior features surprisingly scary and gruesome statues of martyrs, as well as a stuffed crocodile. One local legend claims that the reptile was menacing the villagers until the Virgin Mary miraculously helped them to defeat it.

Curtatone stands on the banks of the River Mincio, and many local attractions involve the water. You can take a boat trip to admire the views. This area is a haven for many different species of birds, and a boat trip is one of the best ways to see them all. You'll also see areas of the river practically carpeted with water lilies and lotus flowers. Choose from a regular cruise or a romantic sunset boat ride.

Any Italian vacation has to include generous helpings of the local cuisine, of course! Curtatone is no exception. In the heart of Lombardy, it is the ideal place to tuck into a steaming bowl of risotto. There are many rice fields in the surrounding area, so the rice is locally grown and delicious. You can try dozens of different kinds of risotto dishes. If you get tired of rice, swap to another local favorite: polenta. In winter, this area is also known for its rich, fruit-studded panettone, the perfect souvenir to take home for Christmas.

Car rental in Curtatone will let you see more of the surrounding area. Verona is a popular choice for a day trip. This romantic city is best known as the setting for Romeo and Juliet. Its stunning architecture creates the perfect backdrop for a day of exploration. Some visitors like to go to Juliet's house, a replica of Shakespeare's most famous piece of scenery, and re-enact the balcony scene.

With car or van rental in Curtatone, you can also visit Modena, approximately 72 km away. The home of balsamic vinegar, this city is ideal for gourmets — and also for car lovers. If you're into your motors, the Ferrari Museum is sure to blow you away with its enormous collection of classic models.
