Region guide

Why we love it

The largest and most popular of the Italian lakes, Lake Garda offers a landscape of contrasts, from the towering mountains of the north to the sun-soaked shores of the south, historic centres, crystal-clear water and exciting theme parks.

Explore the pretty and popular waterfront towns Sirmione, Gardone and Malcesine. Head to Gardaland for fun and thrills. Limone is one of the most picturesque towns while Riva del Garda is a great base for exploring the mountainous north.

Wherever your ideal destination, you're bound to find the perfect holiday in this beautiful and varied region. Explore the guides below for a more detailed overview of each town and area or pick up the phone to talk with one of our team of experts.
