LAKES HOLIDAYS

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT

What are lake holidays all about?

There’s nothing quite like an escape to the lakes, where the water shimmers against a backdrop of majestic mountains and cute villages. Our collection of lakes holidays features everything from luxurious hotels right on the lakefront, to boutique bases in the heart of town – and everything in between. Fancy giving it a go? We’ve got the lakes holiday for you.

Why choose a lake holiday?

If you feel more at peace when you’re by the water, surrounded by nature, we’ve got you covered with a whole host of hotels that prioritise exactly that. From luxurious properties with lake-view infinity pools, to hotels that put you within a stone’s throw of the best shops, bars, and restaurants, our lakes collection has it all. Here’s what you can expect…

Stunning scenery

Our lakes holidays currently tick off Lake Garda, Lake Como, and Lake Maggiore. These are three of Italy’s most beautiful bodies of water, and you’ll find them tucked just south of the Swiss border. From shimmering lakes that glisten under the Italian sunshine to rolling green hills and cloud-tickling mountains, our lakes holidays promise some pretty spectacular views.

Plenty to see and do

Cast your eyes away from Mother Nature’s handiwork and you’ll find the picturesque towns and villages surrounding the lakes are just as impressive. Spend afternoons wandering along cobbled lanes and dipping into cute boutiques, delicious-smelling cafés and elegant villas. You’ll also find more museums, palaces and gardens than you can shake a stick at, as well as some award-winning restaurants.

Active adventures

The Italian Lakes offer up relaxation in spades, but if you’re in the market for a holiday that satisfies your inner adventurer, you’re in luck. Base yourself by the water and you can get involved in wild swimming, or even try your hand at watersports. Head up into the hills, meanwhile, and you’ll find hiking and biking trails galore. And if you’re visiting in the winter months, there are plenty of ski slopes to whoosh down, too.

Your lakes holiday questions, answered

Are all of your lakes hotels right on the water?Can I combine a lakes holiday and a city break?Where can I go on a lakes holiday?

You’ll find a real mix of hotels – some have the lake right on their doorsteps, while others are just a short walk from the water. Then there are other properties that’re further from the lakes, where the focus is on enjoying the peace and quiet and the countryside.

Yes! Holidays to the Italian Lakes can also take in some of Italy’s most iconic cities, like Milan, Venice and Verona – perfect if you’re torn between a getaway to the lakes and a city break. With cities, lakes, and mountains to explore, the hardest part of a break to the Italian Lakes will be deciding where to spend each day.

Our lakes holidays currently cover off Lake Maggiore, Lake Garda, and Lake Como. Lake Garda is the largest of the three, so there’s plenty of exploring to be done. Wishbone-shaped Lake Como is all about the glamour, while postcard-worthy Lake Maggiore has a trio of pocket-sized islands at its centre.
