The glorious lakes of northern Italy are surrounded by picturesque ornamental gardens, ancient villas steeped in history, sleepy lakeside towns, and breathtaking backdrops of majestic snow-capped mountains. From bustling Lake Garda to splendid Lake Maggiore, scenic Lake Como and the jewel like Lake Orta, this region offers a range of experiences and stunning scenery, and has been fashionable since Roman times.
Lake Como is surrounded by a rich and varied landscape which one cannot find anywhere else in Italy, and it is without a doubt the most scenic of the Italian Lakes. The touristy-yet-delightful town of Bellagio, located where the main body of water meets its eastern Lecco branch, and Varenna, on the rugged eastern shore, both merit visits. Bellini Travel has access to some of the most beautiful private houses that dot the shores of the lake, both for private visits with the owners or to stay in.
Lake Garda is the southernmost of the Italian lakes, and its balmy climate and marvelous quality of light makes it a perfect tourist destination throughout the year. Around the shores one finds a series of enchanting villages and towns, and the famous lake winds make it a popular spot for windsurfers. It is one of the few lakes that one can still swim in. |
