Lakes
Watch uplifting classical orchestras on the shores of Lake Maggiore during the Stresa Musical Weeks and wander down steep cobbled streets, stopping at elegant boutiques before choosing a gourmet restaurant. Listen to jazz and blues during Lake Como Festival and pick up cut-price designer fashion at Armani's factory store in Vertemate. Work up an appetite for perch risotto by kite-surng across the waves, basking on Menaggio's sandy beach or exploring Villa Carlotta's grand, romantic gardens. Visit Lake Garda and watch ballet dancers or opera singers perform during the Gardone Riviera Summer Festival. Scuba dive in the deep waters near Limone or spend a lazy day soaking in the therapeutic waters of Thermal Park.
From Stresa, take the funicular up to giddy heights and whizz down rocky trails on a mountain bike towards Lake Orta, or kayak past old churches and pastel-coloured houses on the shore. Hike to the summit of Mount Mazzocone or spend an afternoon sampling the produce of Piedmont's Vineyards. Italy's rustic mountain scenery and adventurous on-lake action is combined with our choice of grand hotels, luxurious villas and classic tours. Visit soon.
