Lake Garda

This was my first visit to the northern shores of Lake Garda (the largest of the Italian lakes) and I was blown away by how dramatic the fjord-like cliffs are and how stunning the scenery is!

Due to its clear waters and favourable wind conditions, being a keen windsurfer, it is now a firm favourite of my husband’s. However, not only is it fantastic for swimmers, sailors, wind, kite and foil surfers there is something for everyone on Lake Garda – mountain biking, walking and hiking, Via Ferrata are all very popular here and of course with many picturesque towns and villages, scenic drives, regular ferry services and lakeside strolls you will find it hard to avoid relaxing and unwinding in this fantastic destination.

Of course, being in Italy, there are wonderful places to dine and plenty of options for enjoying a cocktail or a coffee in a lakeside bar or café. Not to mention the locally produced lemons, wines, olive oil, fish fresh from the lake and of course the gelato!

We are already planning to go back.....
