Lake Garda – Italy

Lake Garda, Italy

Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy.

Its wider part to the south is surrounded by hills that were left following the glacier recession, while the narrow northern part is enclosed by the mountains that create its fjord-shape configuration and provide a very mild Mediterranean climate.

The luminous environment and flourishing vegetation – mainly olive and lemon groves, palms, cypresses, oleanders, and orange trees – along with the majestic landscapes are the background to the remarkable historical and cultural remains spread all around and make this lake the most charming in Italy.

Given the intense colour of its water with a marked shade of blue and matchless transparency, Lake Garda is a unique spot where guests can enjoy a holiday full of relaxation.
