Stretching across northern Italy, the Italian Lakes are a collection of paradisical bodies of water nestled amongst jagged mountains, vast stretches of verdurous countryside and quaint towns. Savour fine dining, waterfront walks and leisurely strolls through picturesque towns and vineyards with three-night respective hotel stays in Lake Maggiore, Lake Como and Lake Garda. You’ll also delight in an astounding Bernina Express rail journey to St. Moritz, drinking in incredible views of majestic mountains and glacial lakes during your Lake Como hotel stay. Your Italian Lakes escape complete, you’ll then bid farewell to Italy as you board the iconic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express in Verona as she glides to Paris in timelessly elegant surroundings, making for one of the world’s most celebrated train journeys. Finally, you’ll join the Eurostar in Paris, returning you to London. |
