Set on the Gardone Riviera an hours drive from Verona sits the dark glistening Lake Garda, the largest of the Italian lakes, bordered by monumental mountains, picture postcard villages, vines, olives and citrus trees.

DH Lawrence stayed on Lake Garda where he finished his epic novel Sons and Lovers, here Graham Greene and Somerset Maugham also drew inspiration for their tales of human drama. Sitting on the edge of the lake are modern boutique hotels in company with older more sedate hotels all bursting with character. This is a provincial place where life takes on a slower more sedate pace, Venice is 90 minutes away by train, and close by is the town of Peschiera noted for its great restaurants and weekly market. Many of our clients find that just hiring a boat to cross the sublime lake to Sirmione where the roman poet Catullus penned his erotic poems, or be able to spy on Mussolini's extravagant mansion also spot George Clooney's Italian hideaway home.

Lake Garda offers the ultimate chill out venue for both the wedding ceremony and as a honeymoon destination. Take a romantic cable car ride up Monte Baldo Gardas highest mountain or, just cosy up beside the shore there to be lulled by the lapping ripples of the lake.
