GARDA LAKE

The Garda Lake, also called Benáco,is Italy´s biggest lake and lies between the three provinces Lombardia, Veneto and Trentino.

In addition, the Mediterranean climate combined with an Alpine region flair fascinates the tourists. At the Garda lake you find yourself surrounded by high mountains but at the same time you can enjoy the flowering hillsides of the vineyards and citrus plantations all around the villages.
