Italian Lakes From the slopes surrounding Lakes Maggiore, Lugano and Como, walk ancient trails, walk through the gardens of 18th-century villas and find many quaint lakeside villages. Absorb the area's cultural village lifestyle and take in amazing views of lakes, forest green hills and snow topped mountains. For many years, the Italian lakes have been a favourite holiday destination from Roman historians to aristocratic Europeans to today's many celebrities, all impressed by its hot climate, quiet lakesides, and its regional tasty cuisine. Como is known to be the most beautiful of all the Italian lakes. The tourist friendly and delightful town of Bellagio, found where the main body of water meets its eastern Lecco branch, and Varenna, on the clean eastern shore, both deserve a visit. Or you can explore the lake by boat—travel is also rally effortless and the views are breath-taking. |

Italian Lakes, Italy Holiday Review - Lago di Garda

My husband and I have just come back from 8 days on Lago di Garda. We stayed for the most part in Desenzano del Garda which was far and away our favourite place on the Lake. The people are very friendly, it is extremely easy to get around, the weather was really beautiful. We are thinking of moving there next year and our trip confirmed it for us. We travelled by bus and ferry to Peschiera, Sirmione, Bardolino, Moniga, Padenghe and Manerba and thought they were very nice. Salo and Bardolino are particularly beautiful for a visit.
The food and wine are very, very good but like everywhere it is good to get off away from the most touristy parts and find better priced and better value food in other restaurants. This was less true in Desenzano where we didn't have a meal that wasn't particularly good. The wine from this region is excellent and we 'discovered' a local vino frizzante, really well priced - only 10 Euro and lovely. The best food we had in Desenzano was from Il Gatto Pardo, run by a Sicilian family, the flavours were amazing and the food was really fresh. It is found on the main road, opposite the Lake in Desenzanino. We stayed at the Villa Rosa, the staff speak very good English, the service was excellent and our room overlooked the lake. They also provided tea and coffee facilities in the room, which is always a touch that works for me. This was definitely one of the best holidays we have ever had - I would encourage anyone to visit.

Italian Lakes, Italy Holiday Review

Hired a car earlier this year and drove around the Italian Lakes with my wife and two young children. We had a fantastic time. The distances between the different lakes are not too long so the kids didn't get too bored. Hotels were great and rooms were shild friendly. no gaping balcony rails or sharp corners! The Sportsman Hotel in Garda was a favourite.
Water sports at the lakes are fantastic! and venice and verona are not far so you can always make a day trip. Food and wine in the region is fantastic and the theme parks were great for the kids.
