Exhilarating mountain scenery and deep sapphire alpine waters trimmed by the silver tinsel of olive trees, the daggers of dark cypress and mellowed villages.

seductive & dramatic
Glorious lakes where tranquil waters gently lap at the magnificent backdrop of majestic mountains. Handcrafted wooden boats cross lazily and historic villas gaze idly amid flower swathed ornamental gardens. Quaint villages and bustling little towns lie dotted along the shores frequently approached by old fashioned paddle steamers. Dramatic mountain peaks crowned by shimmering snow, tumble steeply into the stretching landscapes. The elegant and noble Italian cities, unique, timeless, romantic, cultural - Italy is all of these and more.
in a word
Renowned for their natural, romantic beauty and breathtaking scenery, the lakes and mountains of Italy have for centuries attracted visitors who have come here to go boating, walk in the hills, trek and climb or simply relax, whilst enjoying the blissful Mediterranean climate. Most lake resorts are generally open all year round, although it is purely a subjective choice when to visit; April to October is the bustling season, whereas the rest of the year one can enjoy a quieter holiday. Amid this stunning geography, local experts bring alive the regions' fascinating history as well as the architecture, literature and music that define them. Besides its wonderful scenery, what makes Italy one of the world's best loved destinations, is that the country boasts two thirds of the world's artistic heritage. Tuscany alone possesses more artistic treasures than the whole of Spain, which is the second country in the world for cultural heritage. Whether it's culture, gastronomy, cutting-edge design, or simply the art of doing nothing and just soaking up the atmosphere, Italy is a country for lovers of all that's good in life. From mountains to lakes, coasts to cities, the emphasis is on simple pleasures and high quality.
