Nestled amidst the picturesque Italian Alps, Italy's largest lake is a shimmering oasis of azure waters, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, lush green hills and verdant olive groves.

Immerse yourself in its stunning natural scenery and delight in its myriad of activities, from boat trips, wind surfing, and hiking to the top of the hills for panoramic views, to exploring the quaint towns and villages dotted along the shoreline.

Devour exquisite Italian dishes in the lakeside restaurants with the finest wines from the surrounding vineyards, while taking in stunning sunsets over the water. Whether you opt for enjoying the Mediterranean sun on idyllic beaches or historical landmarks and culture of the region, from the ancient Roman ruins to the stunning Renaissance-era villas and castles, with its quaint towns, scenic vistas, and abundant beauty, Lake Garda is one of the most breath taking destinations in the world.

Alternatively, you can also take a ride through Parco Naturo Viva, to see African creatures such as lions, giraffes, and hippos.

Experience The Italian Charm!

Visit Gardone Riviera, this enchanting hidden gem nestled along the shores of Lake Garda is a picturesque town inviting you to soak up its friendly and laid-back atmosphere. Stroll along the elegant lakeside promenade, lined with colourful flowers and charming cafes, as you take in the breathtaking views of the shimmering lake. Explore the beautifully manicured gardens, such as the renowned Heller Garden and discover a tranquil oasis of exotic plants and sculptures.

Castle Dreams And Lakeside Gleams...

It is hard to imagine a more picturesque way to enter a town than by crossing a moat on a drawbridge and arriving in the courtyard of Sirmione and Castello Scaligeri, a castle that seems like it was constructed specifically for a film. The Scaligeri, the royal dynasty of Verona, built the castle in the 12th century as part of a defensive network against Milan; the Venetian empire afterwards maintained it. We recommend climbing the tower to witness the majestic views of the lake and town!

Live The Lake Life !

For a delightful Italian getaway, take the cable car that will transport you to the picturesque and charming village of Malcesine! Known for its old-world charm and stunning natural beauty. We recommend strolling through the narrow cobblestone streets, lined with colourful houses and quaint shops, as you soak up the inviting atmosphere. For the history buffs, explore the mediaeval Scaliger Castle, perched atop a hill, offering panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains!
