Italian Lakes
It’s easy to see why the Italian Lakes attract visitors year after year. Set among stunning scenery and fringed with charming towns, Lake Como, Lake Garda, and Lake Maggiore make up some of the most beautiful parts of Italy. The wishbone-shaped Lake Como is famously picturesque and romantic, with grand Neo-classical villas backed by impressive gardens dotting its shores. The popular town of Bellagio, lined by cypresses, is beautifully picturesque, while Varenna is home to narrow winding streets nestled on a rock face. With sophisticated hotels and restaurants aplenty, Lake Como is the place to see and be seen. Hikers, swimmers, sailing enthusiasts, and travellers who simply want to unwind in a scenic setting, fall in love with Lake Garda. The largest of the Italian Lakes, visitors can expect clean mountain air, striking blue water, and charming villages like Salò on the west, and Bardolino on the eastern shore. For those seeking a peaceful haven, then Lake Maggiore won’t disappoint. Once a popular resort with European nobility, today the pace of life feels slower here, yet visitors can still enjoy simple pleasures like walking, mountain biking, boat trips, and visits to elegant villages and towns.
