The
majestic Dolomites in
the North form the backdrop to rolling hills, vineyards,
olive groves and citrus trees. To the south lie the rich and
fertile plains of the Po river valley. Just 2 hours from
Milan and Venice, Lake Garda is considered to be the most
romantic of all the Northern Italian Lakes. Its natural
beauty is complemented by a wealth of historic and
architectural heritage on display in pretty lakeside towns
like Salo, Sirmione, Bardolino and Lazise. As you would
expect in a region where the map reads like a wine list,
there is a huge choice of superb local cuisine. A holiday to
this area must include a visit to the impressive city of
Verona – complete with its Roman Arena, Romeo and Juliet’s
balcony and a vibrant old quarter.
