Italian Lakes Discovery 8 Days
In the shadows of the Swiss and Italian Alps, the Lake Como region is home to lavish villas and magnificent gardens European nobility, seduced by its charm, have long flocked here for holidays. Elegant and luxurious villas line the shores of the lake and camellias, hydrangeas and azaleas are reflected in the quiet waters. Spectacular Lake Garda is bordered by impressive rocky cliffs and soaring mountains. Old cobblestone paths take us through the maze of villages and up through the hills, dominated by snowy peaks in the distance. We walk through vineyards, olive groves and wild mountains, falling upon a Roman chapel and an 18th-century palace. There is so much to discover in this truly delightful region.
