Italian lakes holidays

Backed by a breath-taking scenery of snow-capped mountains and edged with grand villas and laid-back towns, it’s easy to understand why Italy's lakes are so popular.

Lake Garda is the largest, stretching from the countryside of the south the Dolomites in the north and perfect for sightseeing. Lake Maggiore has a relaxed atmosphere and Lake Como is filled with chic lakeside cafés. Finally, Lake Ledro and Lake Iseo are perfect for adventurers, with excellent access to hiking trails and wild swimming spots.

These resorts offer up to two guided day walks each week, led by an experienced local guide, all included as part of your holiday.
