Slowly savoring the lake life. The easy rhythm, when time comes to a standstill, and when each moment seems to last a lifetime. Relax at its finest. 

Lake Vacation Lombardy. A sensation to be discovered when you hit the water. Here, Mother Nature really outdid herself, with five larger lakes and 80 smaller lakes, not to mention the countless alpine lakes to be uncovered while hiking in the mountains. The perfect places to go with the flow and find a bit of silence and inner peace. History was formed and cultivated around the many bodies of water here in region, creating bastions against invasion and giving life to the local settlements.

Villas and gardens feed on the fresh air and poets on their inspiration. Standing out are certainly Lake Como and Lake Garda, followed by smaller areas like Endine, in the Province of Bergamo, and Pusiano. The perfect getaway for a summertime escape and a relaxing hideaway to soak in the cool hues all year-round, there’s no better place to witness the local culture.

A few gems include Gardone Riviera, Sirmione, and Bellagio to name a few. Surrounded by stunning natural landscapes and hubs of art, architecture, literature and more, it must be something in the water...
