The wealthiest region in Italy, Lombardia remains known for its lovely lakes: Lake Garda, Lake Maggiore and Lake Como. Surrounded by towering mountains, they are like jewels providing the ideal holiday setting. Lake Garda is recognized as the largest in Italy, with a surface area of over 370 square kilometers. Charming beauty of the surrounding mountains and a warm climate combined with the abundance of citrus orchards and vineyards make Garda a thriving holiday center. If you're considering taking to a trip you should think one of the many Lake Garda villas.

The largest and one of the loveliest lakes in the Sirmione region, Lake Garda laps against the plains of the Veneto and Lombardy, becoming fjordlike and moody in the north. Its shores are fragrant with flowery gardens, forests of cypress and pines and groves of lemons and olives - the landscape that has always attracted many poets and artists, among them Gabriele d'Annunzio, whose villa close to Gardone is recognized currently as one of the major attractions in the area. It is the perfect springboard for enjoying the plethora of Lake Garda watersports.
