Visit Italy's most beautiful lake
7 nights from £1,795 per person based on 2 sharing

Your holiday begins in Manerba del Garda, a quieter side of Lake Garda where olive groves, vineyards, and lakeside beaches set the scene. This charming town is home to the Rocca di Manerba Nature Reserve, offering sweeping views across the lake, while a visit to the nearby Valtenesi wine region introduces you to local winemaking traditions. Here, you'll enjoy lunch at a winery, pairing regional wines with seasonal Italian dishes in beautiful surroundings.
-
Next, you'll make your way to Verona, a city where every corner tells a story. Walk through Piazza delle Erbe, admire the remarkably well-preserved Arena di Verona, and visit Juliet's Balcony before spending free time exploring elegant shopping streets, lively cafés, and riverside walkways. It's a city that's just as enjoyable for people watching over an espresso as it is for ticking off its famous landmarks.
-
Later, you'll cruise across Lake Garda to Sirmione, one of the lake's most iconic destinations. Sitting on a narrow peninsula, it's home to the impressive Grotte di Catullo, the remains of one of northern Italy's largest Roman villas. After exploring the archaeological site, spend time wandering the cobbled streets, browsing independent boutiques, enjoying artisan gelato, or taking in the views from the medieval Scaliger Castle before returning across the lake.
-
Throughout your stay, you'll be based at Hotel Donna Silvia in Manerba del Garda. Standard rooms provide a comfortable retreat after each day's sightseeing, while the hotel's outdoor swimming pool, wellness centre, restaurant, and peaceful gardens make it an ideal place to relax. Its convenient location also means you're never far from the lakefront, making it easy to enjoy the laid-back atmosphere that makes this part of Italy so special.
