Italian Getaway: Venice & Lake Garda Hotels, Flights & Transfers

Venice, Italy

Fall head over heels for the city pulled straight from a picture book, exploring enchanting canals and big sights, becoming utterly charmed by the quaint bridges, dramatic architecture, and narrow streets promising surprises at every corner. Discover hidden piazzas, authentic tratorrias, bars serving crisp glasses of Aperol Spritz, and ice cream parlours serving flavoursome gelato. Along the way, you simply have to see the Piazza San Marco and the incredible Basilica di San Marco, Doge’s Palace and Torre dell’Orologio. While you’re sightseeing, why not head out to some of the lesser-known islands that surround Venzia. Murano is famous for its glass-blowing factory, while Burano and Torcello are praised for their lace-making shops, ornate palaces, and churches. Of course, a romantic trip on a gondola never goes out of style in the City of Water…

Lake Garda, Italy

As wonderful as your hotel is, there’s even more magic to be found in your surroundings! From poets and politicians, divas and dictators, few can resist the captivating Lake Garda. Costermano sul Garda is a must, sitting like a balcony overlooking Lake Garda for the most unmissable views of this awe-inspiring area. Garda town sits nearby on the shore of the lake, in a wide horseshoe bay speckled with colourful buildings and mesmerising waters. Stroll through the many cafes, restaurants and shops, stop for a drink as the sun goes down, or enjoy an ice cream as the reflecting sun makes this gem of a holiday destination shine. A geographically stunning location, keen photographers, water-sports enthusiasts and sun-seekers will be drawn to this alluring shoreline, but secretly, there's nothing nicer than simply soaking in the idyllic scenery. Whether you visit Sirmione, Malcesine, Rival del Garda or Gargnano, your senses should be prepared for a feast!
