Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake: luxury resorts overlooking the water, olive groves and unforgettable sunsets.
Lake Garda is Italy's largest lake and one of the most romantic settings in Europe. Its waters change colour with the light — turquoise at dawn, cobalt blue at midday, pink and gold at sunset. Around the lake, Mediterranean microclimates allow the cultivation of olive trees, lemons and vines at northern latitudes.
The Brescia shore, with Gargnano and Limone, is the most reserved and authentic. The Verona shore, with Sirmione and Bardolino, is more lively. In both cases, the luxury resorts directly overlooking the water offer unforgettable experiences: breakfasts on the private pontoon, sunset dinners, panoramic spas with lake views.
