Its clear blue waters, backed by the wooded slopes of craggy mountains, are fringed by elegant resorts, completing the picturesque scene that has drawn visitors for the last hundred years.

While across the lake the boats ply their trade between the resorts, ashore rest and relaxation are very much the order of the day. Café life, delicious ice cream from a host of gelaterie, plentiful shopping for souvenirs, or just a seat in the sun on a lakeside promenade, are all happy pre-occupations for most, although there are always more active diversions to be enjoyed. With opportunities to take a Grand Circular Tour of the lake, visit Italy’s most evocative city, Venice, to enjoy Verona and to be awestruck by the dramatic Dolomites, it’s no wonder that Lake Garda is our most popular European holiday destination.

Sorrento

YOUR HOTEL CHOICES:

Sorrento One of the most exquisite spots on the whole of the Italian coast offers everything you could wish for in a holiday destination. The town, perched upon its clifftop, surveying the blue Bay of Naples below, seems built between the sky and the sea. On the shore, two tiny ports – ancient Marina Grande with its fishing boats, and Marina Piccola, from where the ferry and the hydrofoils ply their busy trade across the bay – are backed by even tinier beaches and several boardwalks dotted with beach-huts and sun-loungers. Everywhere, as well as stunning plants and flowers, you’ll find lemon and orange trees, the fruit of the former celebrated in everything from ceramics and linen-ware to limoncello, the deliciously more-ish, but deceptively strong local alcoholic drink.

Sant’ Agata sui due Golfi Sant’ Agata del due Golfi is so called for the stunning views it enjoys of both the Bay of Naples and the Bay of Salerno, which flanks the southern shore of the Sorrentine peninsula. Just six miles up the picturesque road from Sorrento, Sant’ Agata is favoured by all those who enjoy the cooler evenings in high summer, and is especially popular with those who like to leave the bustle of the resort behind. Offering a small selection of shops, bars and restaurants, Sant’ Agata has long been a favourite with our customers.
