Noleggio Camper VeronaLocation Details on Blurent DocumentationView map
Hiring a motorhome in Sommacampagna means setting off from the moraine hills between Verona and Lake Garda, a stone's throw from Valerio Catullo airport and the A4 motorway. The southern shore of the lake is a quarter of an hour away, the Bianco di Custoza vineyards cover the slopes of the municipality and Monte Baldo closes the horizon to the north-west. Our partner company Blurent hands over its vehicles here under the name Noleggio Camper Verona.
Quieter than Verona, the town lets you load the motorhome without stress before heading for the lake, the Risorgimento battlefields or neighbouring Lombardy.

Road trips from Sommacampagna
1 Moraine hills and Risorgimento battlefields
- Sommacampagna
- Custoza
- Monzambano
- Castellaro Lagusello
- Solferino
- San Martino della Battaglia
- Lonato del Garda
- Sommacampagna
The slopes around Sommacampagna keep the memory of the Italian wars of independence: the Custoza ossuary overlooks the vineyards where the Italian army twice fought the Austrians. The road then crosses the Mincio towards Monzambano and Castellaro Lagusello, a fortified village beside a small heart-shaped lake, then reaches Solferino, whose battle inspired Henry Dunant to found the Red Cross, and the tower of San Martino della Battaglia.
The return runs via the rocca of Lonato del Garda, with views over the whole southern end of the lake. The stages are very short, leaving time for wine cellars and the small museums of each battlefield.

2 The Monte Baldo road and the Terra dei Forti
- Sommacampagna
- Rivoli Veronese
- Spiazzi
- Ferrara di Monte Baldo
- Brentonico
- Avio
- Dolcè
- Sommacampagna
To the north, Rivoli Veronese and its Austrian fort guard the Adige gorge, where Bonaparte won one of his Italian victories. The road then climbs to Spiazzi, where a path leads down to the sanctuary of the Madonna della Corona, clinging to the cliff, crosses the high pastures of Ferrara di Monte Baldo and goes over the ridge to the Brentonico plateau in Trentino. The way back follows the Adige past Avio castle and the vineyards of the Terra dei Forti.
The ridge road is narrow and closed for part of the year: check that it is open before setting off.

A one-way trip westwards: Desenzano and its old harbour on the southern shore of Lake Garda, then Brescia, its Roman forum and the Santa Giulia monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Franciacorta vineyards, home of sparkling wines, lead to Lake Iseo, where a boat takes you to Monte Isola. From Lovere, the road climbs to Clusone in the Val Seriana, another departure city of our partners.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Sommacampagna?
Best time
April, May and June
April to June
highs 19 to 28 °C, lows 8 to 18 °C
April and June are among the most pleasant months around Sommacampagna: the Custoza slopes turn green again, Monte Baldo's flora blooms and swimming in the lake resumes in June. May, on the other hand, brings the heaviest rain of the year, often as thunderstorms: keep some indoor visits in reserve.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 30 °C, lows 20 °C
The heat weighs on the plain and crowds peak along the lakeshore as well as at Gardaland, the big amusement park in nearby Castelnuovo del Garda. The high pastures of Monte Baldo and the Brentonico plateau then offer cooler air, and evenings are spent at village festivals in the hills.
Best time
September and October
September to October
highs 20 to 25 °C, lows 11 to 15 °C
The Bianco di Custoza and Bardolino grape harvests set the pace in September, while the crowds gradually leave the lakeshore. October is one of the most pleasant months despite regular rain: a good time for the moraine hills and the towns of Lombardy, quieter than in summer.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 8 to 15 °C, lows 0 to 5 °C
Frosts are frequent in January and fog often covers the plain between Verona and the Mincio. Most lakeside campsites close and the Monte Baldo ridge is covered in snow. The season is better suited to visiting Brescia, Verona or Mantua, in a heated vehicle.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Pick-up at Blurent
Our partner Blurent hands over its vehicles in Sommacampagna under the name Noleggio Camper Verona: the exact address and appointment time are in your confirmation. Allow an hour for the check-in inspection and handover, then use the quiet roads of the municipality to get used to the vehicle's size before heading to the lake.
A motorway exit in the municipality
Sommacampagna has its own exit on the A4, between Peschiera del Garda and Verona: you can head for the lake or Brescia without crossing the Verona urban area. For Monte Baldo and the Adige valley, the junction with the A22 is a few minutes away, and the Affi exit leads to the foot of the mountain. Both motorways are tolled.
Nights with the Custoza winegrowers
On the slopes of Custoza and Sona, several wine estates and agriturismi welcome motorhomes for the night, often in exchange for a tasting or a purchase. Let them know in advance. Elsewhere in the municipality, sleeping on board depends on local by-laws: choose dedicated motorhome areas and the campsites on the lake's southern shore.
The Mincio cycle path
From Peschiera del Garda to Mantua, a cycle path follows the Mincio away from traffic, between mills, rice fields and nature reserves. It starts a quarter of an hour's drive from Sommacampagna: with bikes on board, you can leave the motorhome for the day. Ask the rental company whether a bike rack can be supplied with the vehicle.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Sommacampagna
Where can I hire a motorhome in Sommacampagna?
Blurent is our partner company in Sommacampagna, west of Verona, under the name Noleggio Camper Verona. To compare more offers, Verona, 15 km away as the crow flies, and Vicenza, 60 km away, are other departure cities of our partners: run the search for those cities too, bearing in mind the travel time to the depot.
How much does motorhome hire cost in Sommacampagna?
Prices vary with the period, rental length, vehicle size and options chosen: a departure in August, when Lake Garda and Gardaland are full, is not comparable with a week in November. A search with your dates shows current rates, mandatory fees included, and lets you book the offer you choose straight away.
Can I do a one-way trip from Sommacampagna?
Several departure cities of our partners are well suited: Clusone, in the Val Seriana, and Modena, both 87 km away as the crow flies, Bergamo at 93 km, or Calderara di Reno, near Bologna, at 104 km. Choose a different return city when searching: only the offers that accept this trip are then shown, with any fees.
How many days should I plan from Sommacampagna?
Two to three days are enough for the Custoza and Solferino hills, three to four for the Monte Baldo road or to reach Lake Iseo. A week lets you combine the first two loops with a few days of swimming at Lake Garda; in two weeks, you can go on to the Lombard lakes or the Dolomites.
How can I visit Verona without driving in by motorhome?
The simplest way is to leave the vehicle in Sommacampagna and take the regional train from Sommacampagna-Sona station, on the Milan–Venice line, to Verona Porta Nuova in a few minutes. You avoid the traffic and the limited traffic zone of the historic centre, and walk from the station to the Arena.

The person answered my questions before I confirmed the booking. The van matched my order well with extras. During my trip, I had a little issue that had nothing to do with Cooldrive. I appreciated that the person took the time to call me back. No bad surprises, only good ones. Highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Sommacampagna
What licence do I need for a motorhome hired in Sommacampagna?
Rental motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes can be driven with a category B car licence. Drivers holding a licence issued outside the European Union often need an international driving permit or an official translation in Italy. The minimum age and years of driving experience required by Blurent are given in the offer conditions.
How do I get to the depot from Verona airport?
Valerio Catullo airport lies partly within Sommacampagna, between the town and Villafranca: only a few kilometres separate it from the handover point. A taxi from the terminal is the most direct option. Give the rental company your flight number and allow a margin in case of delays, especially for an evening arrival.
Which vehicle is best around Lake Garda?
For the moraine hills, the plain and Lombardy, any size will do. The Monte Baldo road and the villages on the lake's eastern shore, with their cramped car parks, are easier in a campervan or compact motorhome. For families, a longer motorhome remains comfortable if you settle in a campsite and explore by bike or boat.
Do I need winter tyres when leaving from Sommacampagna?
On the plain, rarely in practice. But as soon as you climb towards Monte Baldo, Brentonico or Trentino via the A22, road signs require winter tyres fitted or snow chains on board, generally from mid-November to mid-April. Check the equipment at pick-up and ask the rental company whether it allows mountain driving in winter.
When should I book a motorhome in Sommacampagna?
Several months ahead for July and August, and for the Italian spring bank holidays, when families flock to Lake Garda and the nearby amusement parks. With only one partner company in the municipality, the most popular dates go quickly. From October to March, a few weeks' notice is usually enough.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Sommacampagna
Sommacampagna offers a low-key departure point, between the Verona plain and the first hills of Lake Garda, a few minutes from the airport and the motorway. Without crossing a big city, you quickly reach the southern shore of the lake, the vineyards and ossuaries of Custoza and Solferino, the Mincio cycle path or the high Monte Baldo road, and Verona remains within reach by train for a day of sightseeing.
Blurent offers its motorhomes here, and our partners' other departure cities, from Verona and Vicenza to Bergamo, Clusone and Modena, open the way to one-way trips towards Lombardy or Emilia. The climate is most pleasant in April, June, July and October; summer brings crowds to the lakeshore, while autumn, the harvest season, makes the hills more peaceful.
