One of the most stunning locations in Europe! The lake covers three regions and has a circumference of almost 100km encompassing colourful and diverse lakeside towns, each offering a new experience to visitors. Away from the lake, the region offers a handful of historic cities, towering mountains and renaissance treasures to explore. The hospitality is legendary and the food and wine is a treat for all. We will be based at the Hotel La Perla, Riva del Garda.
