Lake Garda by Train - 8 nights from £999

Your 8 night Lake Garda by train experience begins in the UK where you meet your tour guide and head of to Paris to catch your high speed transfer. The first night of your trip is spent in the wonderful Lausanne region of Lake Geneva before heading across northern Italy to Lake Garda the following morning.

In between excursions you can enjoy some downtime to relax at the hotel or choose optional excursions including a tour of Verona with its medieval buildings, Roman Arena and Castelvecchio.

The majority of your stay will be at the welcoming 4 star Hotel Villa Luisa which has recently opened and is situated just a stones throw from the lake in the peaceful resort of San Felice Del Benaco. The hotel affords lovely views of the lake, olive groves and vineyards and also has a beautiful garden with terraces and swimming pool.
