The Italian lake region of Garda offers a breathtaking variety of near-perfect views. From the chalet chic towns nestled beneath the amphitheatre cliffs in the north, to the Belle Epoque villa hotels on the riviera stretch and the beautifully converted farmhouses of the south, you’re sure to find somewhere special for your Lake Garda holiday.

For a hotel that typifies Lake Garda, look no further than the Villa Cortine Palace in Sirmione. This luxury villa hotel is rich with frescoes, antiques and 30s style rooms and sits right on the tip of the Sirmione peninsula. With a long stretch of pebble beach and neoclassical statues just a short walk away, this is the hotel for you if you’re looking to soak up all that lakeside glamour.

A palatial resort with a choice of couple’s spa treatments, this hotel has everything that the honeymooner could wish for. There are also plenty of other deluxe hotels to choose from on the lake’s northern shores, such as Villa Nicolli Romantic Resort and Hotel Lido Palace.

If you’re looking for something more budget-friendly, there are plenty of apartments around the lake that offer a lock-up and go getaway. Check out Appartamento Riva Del Garda, Gardainn Martini and The Nest for some of our favorite choices. hotels garda lake garda
