The Beauty of the Italian Lakes
9 days from £2,597 per person
The sparkling Italian Lakes decorate Italy’s rustic and mountainous northern region. A popular holiday destination since the Roman times, the sheer beauty of these treasures has well and truly stood the test of time. Edged with chic resorts and revealing centuries of history, each lake offers a distinct personality, from bustling Garda to polished Como and serene Maggiore. Like a fine Italian wine, they are each best uncorked and savoured slowly - so we’ll linger for nine days.
