The Italian lakes, between water and mountains

Northern Italy's lakes are defined by a rare combination of alpine scenery, cultivated gardens, historic villas and elegant towns reflected in the water. Moving from Lake Maggiore to Como and Garda, the journey alternates private boat experiences, botanical landscapes and time in places whose beauty has attracted artists, writers and travellers for centuries. Verona provides a final change of scale, bringing Roman history and refined urban life into a route shaped above all by water and mountains.
