Am so excited to organise a trip to Lake Garda again, check photos of our last trip here 5 Days -Lake Garda and a Day Trip to Venice and Milan, Fri, Sep 20, 2019, 7:10 AM | Meetup

It's a bank holiday weekend again as it's Kings Charles Coronation

Lake Garda is a 17th century complex in northern Italy, which is known for its crystal clear water on the south end, with up to 25°C in September, the town of Simeone is dominated by the Rocca Scaligera, a fortress with harbor views. The nearby Grotte di Catullo archaeological site includes a Roman villa. On the lake's western shore, in Gardone Riviera, is Il Vittoriale degli Italiani, former home of poet d’Annunzio. The Dolomites frame Riva del Garda, a resort in the north.

A classy upmarket destination, surrounded by hundreds of villages and towns. Lake Garda is clean and cool enough to take a dip in the waters, great for sailing along the lake, hiking or for cycling around while taking in the delightful and gorgeous province
