Destinations

The Lakes, an area in the north of Italy culminating Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, Lake Garda, Lake Iseo and Lake Orta. The area ranges from Verona in the east to Varese in the north and offers views of some of the most well known landscapes in Italy.

Lake Garda is probably the best known lake and also the largest in Italy, spanning 370 sq km. The other lakes are popular retreats for the rich and famous, with many owning villas in hidden coves along the lake side. Covering such a vast area, it is still easily accessible with the airports of Bergamo, Milan, Brescia and Verona all within easy transfer distances.

Whilst there are many grand hotels in the area, there is also a good selection of villas and apartments offering more freedom to for guests wishing to explore the Lakes more extensively. We recommend Agriturismo il Masserino. This converted farm is located on the western side of Lake Garda, near Brescia and is the perfect self catering accommodation for all the family.

Whilst in the area, a day at Garda Land will offer a different experience, especially for children. Located on the southern tip of Lake Garda, near Castelnuovo del Garda, this theme park offers a great range of rides, many themed.

We have picked out a selection of our favourite hotels and apartments in the Lakes for you to have a look through, including a 5 star hotel overlooking Lake Garda and converted farmhouse apartments.
