There are countless lakes in between the mountains of Northern Italy. The top three presented in this holiday file is Lake Garda, Lake Como and Lake Maggiore. The smaller lakes, such as Orta and Iseo, are of course equally attractive. The ingredients of the lakes' success are always the same: forests, mountains, water, sun and pleasant temperatures. The region is located south of the Alps. You can explore each lake on a tour boat or by car. Follow the roads along the shores and experience lovely flowered villages with beautiful little churches. You will also enjoy some picturesque panoramic views along the way.
This holiday region understandably gets very busy in high season, but it is always very enjoyable and its top attractions do not lose their charm even when it does get busy. The most popular points of interest are Villa Carlotta near Lake Como, the Borromean islands in Lake Maggiore and the Sirmione peninsula near Lake Garda. On top of all that, cities like Verona and Milan are never far away. Even a day trip to Venice is possible from Lake Garda. It goes without saying that a holiday at the Lakes of Northern Italy is very enjoyable and if you can add an extra dimension by staying at a hôtel de charme, your holiday will be truly unforgettable.
