The Lake of Garda

The Lake of Garda, with its 155 Km of surrounding coastline, is the largest lake in Italy.
From over the 2000m of mountain peaks surrounding the lake you can admire unique landscapes such as the glaciers in Northern Italy, the Dolomites, the Alpine lakes, moraine hills, the Po Valley and the lagoon of Venice (in days where the sky is clear). Located on the border of three provinces (Trento, Brescia and Verona) it houses 24 municipalities along its banks, which are, with their old towns and ports, located in the beautiful bays or on top of equally beautiful peninsulas. The climate of the Lake of Garda alternates mild winters to pretty warm summers where it's not so hot; only this particular climate at these latitudes has allowed the growth of a Mediterranean flora that goes along to the one around the mountains. Respect for local traditions, culture and environment make this place pride to be what it is, and this matter, combined with a remarkable development of tourism and hotel, offers hospitality to millions of visitors during summer time. Why should you choose to go to the lake for the holidays? Because here you'll find a very valid response to all your needs. Each village is like a small pearl.
