The beauty of the great lakes of northern Italy

The beauty of the great lakes of northern Italy

Description

Three days on Lake Garda and three on Lake Maggiore in a 4-star hotel, with accommodation in a double room and breakfast included.

This is an ideal trip to reconnect with nature, rediscovering all the pleasure of life in the open air.

Lake Garda offers a practically infinite range of opportunities, there is everything you could want for a holiday: ancient villages, seaside and spa resorts, forests and mountains, opportunities for culture, uniquely tasty cuisine, water sports and castles from another time. The Latin poets already extolled the charm of Lake Garda, where everything seems to be suspended between water and rock: three Italian regions – Lombardy, Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto – intersect here, fusing architecture, traditions and gastronomic recipes.

You can tell this by tasting the white and red wines from the vineyards on the stone terraces and especially the olive oil, the fruit of the trees that grow at the foot of the mountains thanks to the mild climate.

Lake Maggiore is a mirror of elegance carved out of the mountains that divide Italy and Switzerland, a landscape of peaks and forests where the villas of Italian tycoons and Hollywood stars stand.

Along the shores, Stresa, Verbania and Cannobio are towns that combine traditional architecture with designer boutiques, with restaurants where you can enjoy dishes as refined as the atmosphere of this lake. Outside the villages, there are castles and residences of the nobles who made the history of Lombardy.

And nature is not only beautiful, but also full of opportunities for sports enthusiasts: trekking, mountain biking, canoeing, kayaking, and water-skiing, breathing in the pure air of the Alps at the top of your lungs.
