Italian lakes holidays Short stays & city breaks around the Italian lakes
The Italian lakes are known all over the world for their awesome natural beauty, history and rich culture dating back to the Roman times. Each lake has its own character and attractions from medieval villages dotted around the shores to lively upmarket resorts with their designer shops, exquisite restaurants and grandiose villas.
The Italian Lake District covers a large area of the Italian foothills in Northern Italy close to the jagged peaks of the Dolomites that are home to some of Italy’s best ski resorts. The best known and largest lakes are Como, Garda, Maggiore and Lugano but there are many others such as Orta and Iseo.

Our view on holidays around the Italian lakes
Short stays around one of the Italian lakes are great any time of year. However, if you don't like crowds and queues then avoid the peak summer months and try a spring or early Autumn holiday. Or, if visiting very late on in the year around December, you could combine a visit to the lakes with a few days skiing in one of the nearby ski resorts.
