"The shores of this lake with its beautiful forests and calm waters constitute perhaps the most beautiful landscape in the world", with these words Stendhal depicted one of the most charming places of Northern Italy. Garda, divided between three regions (Lombardy West, Veneto East and Trentino Alto Adige North) and four provinces (Brescia, Mantova, Trento and Verona), is the largest lake in Italy, with the beauty of 370 km. squared of surface and, on the basis of the most recent revelations, the cleanest in Europe.Because of these natural characteristics, as well as for its ideal climate and the hospitality of its people, lake Garda is a constant destination for tourists from all over the world, who find on its shores and surroundings all you can wish for in terms of a holiday: culture, fun, nature and good food.
Lake Garda is also, because of its unique qualities, one of the favourite Italian destinations for lovers of sail and windsurfing in particular, as it is the Italian lake that is more often graced by the presence of the wind, which you do need to have a good time on the board.
As well as natural and sports aspects, a holiday at lake Garda must include visits to the splendid towns that surround it, starting from unrenounceable Verona, but also smaller ones, such as Salò, Sirmione, Desenzano sul Garda and many more. For maximum fun for the little ones, as well as their parents, we cannot forget Gardaland, one of the largest amusement parks in Europe.
