San Felice del Benaco (Gardesano: San Filìs) is a comune in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy, northern Italy.[2] The name derives most likely from the Latin sinus felix, meaning "pleasant harbour".
It is located on the western shore of the Lake Garda. The Isola del Garda, the largest island in the lake, is part of the municipality of San Felice. It is bounded by the municipalities of Salò, Puegnago sul Garda and Manerba del Garda.
