Discover the delightful lakeside villages of Malcesine and Riva del Garda as we take a relaxing tour of northern Lake Garda. Malcesine is a beautiful and quintessential Lake Garda town with narrow winding streets and a 14th-century castle that gives fantastic views of the town and lake from its clock tower. Riva del Garda has a beautiful little port, with houses tightly packed around the water's edge.
Enjoy a day at leisure or join us as we embark on a fantastic optional excursion to the southern shores of Lake Garda, where we’ll get to explore the pretty town of Sirmione and enjoy a short peninsula cruise. This famous town is known for its beautiful views and relaxed atmosphere, and we’ll be able to take in its many sights. These include the 13th century Scaliger Castle, and the churches of Sant’Anna della Rocca, San Pietro in Mavino and Santa Maria Maggiore. Spend time relaxing in this charming town and enjoy the scenery of this beautiful part of Italy.
with an extra experience
Departing from Garda's port, we set sail to visit Lake Garda's very own island home for a unique experience. Upon arrival, a local guide will explain the history of the island and of the imposing Venetian Villa designed by the architect Luigi Rovelli in the early 1900s. We take a walk around terraces and layered Italian gardens which all slope down to the lake brimming with local and exotic plants, rare essences and unique flowers. Here you can enjoy the most evocative views of the lake from a unique perspective.
Enjoy a day at leisure to explore independently. Lunch is included at the hotel and, in the evening, you are free to try one of the wonderful restaurants in Garda.
Verona is one of Italy’s most romantic cities, thanks to the fact that Shakespeare chose this city to set his romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet. While the couple were purely fictional, there are many attractions which claim by local legend to have once set the scene for Romeo and Juliet. For example, there’s Juliet’s House, where we’ll find the balcony Romeo is said to have serenaded his love, as well as the Basilica di San Zeno where the two were supposedly married in secret. There’s also Juliet’s tomb, which is said to be located within San Francesco al Corso church.
Aside from this, there are many other attractions to enjoy in Verona, such as the Piazza delle Erbe, which was once the site of the Roman Forum in the city, and Lamberti Tower. There’s a Roman Theatre and Archaeological Museum to enjoy as well, and the impressive Verona Cathedral.
