Departing from Garda's port, we set sail to visit Lake Garda's very own island home for a unique experience. Upon arrival, a local guide will explain the history of the island and of the imposing Venetian Villa designed by the architect Luigi Rovelli in the early 1900s. We take a walk around terraces and layered Italian gardens which all slope down to the lake brimming with local and exotic plants, rare essences and unique flowers. Here you can enjoy the most evocative views of the lake from a unique perspective.
Enjoy a day at leisure to explore independently. Lunch is included at the hotel and, in the evening, you are free to try one of the wonderful restaurants in Garda.
Verona is one of Italy’s most romantic cities, thanks to the fact that Shakespeare chose this city to set his romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet. While the couple were purely fictional, there are many attractions which claim by local legend to have once set the scene for Romeo and Juliet. For example, there’s Juliet’s House, where we’ll find the balcony Romeo is said to have serenaded his love, as well as the Basilica di San Zeno where the two were supposedly married in secret. There’s also Juliet’s tomb, which is said to be located within San Francesco al Corso church.
Aside from this, there are many other attractions to enjoy in Verona, such as the Piazza delle Erbe, which was once the site of the Roman Forum in the city, and Lamberti Tower. There’s a Roman Theatre and Archaeological Museum to enjoy as well, and the impressive Verona Cathedral.
