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
the 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.
