Lakes hotels, itineraries and travel ideas.

Given its geological history and the extent of the land which is mountainous, it is hardly surprising that Italy has so many lakes. The majority of the Italian lakes are in the North of the country at the foot of the Alps and are mainly glacial in origin.

Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy, whilst Lake Como is the deepest. All enjoy a blissfully mild climate and stunning scenery. In the immediate vicinity of the lakes one finds charming medieval villages and towns all of great artistic and historical importance. Top class leisure facilities for all kinds of sports including fishing, sailing, horse riding and rambling, in addition to superb accommodation, excellent restaurants and classy boutiques have made the Italian lakes an almost permanent tourist magnet.
