'One can't describe the beauty of the Italian Lakes, nor would one try if one could.'

Well, if Henry James couldn't be bothered, who are we to try? Suffice to say that the Northern Italian lakes draw ever more holiday-makers with each passing year.

The reasons are obvious; the combination of Mediterranean foliage with the backdrop of snow-capped mountains is an enchanting one. There are some of the most beautiful towns and striking gardens in the whole of Europe to be visited. Aristocratic villas, glorious sunsets, boat trips to islands with magical villages, a fascinating range of cuisines, truly superb wines, and, of course, the lakes themselves and all they have to offer.
