Adored by poets as well as statesmen and royalty, the Italian Lakes are truly stunning, with mountains that descend to meet the lakeshore and charming towns tucked amidst exotic flora. The area is dotted with fishing villages, medieval castles, Renaissance palazzi and neoclassical villas, ancient ruins, and sumptuous gardens spilling down to the water's edge. You can find prehistoric rock carvings near Lake Iseo, Roman ruins on the Sirmione peninsula, guarded by a moated medieval castle, and Romanesque churches and cliffside convents. The lake district offers classic images of Italy with balconies perched over blue water, sleepy villages, cobblestone streets, and secluded gardens.
