In the northern parts of Italy, one can find the picturesque lakes like Lake Garda, Lake Maggiore as well as Lake Como and Orta. All of these lakes are surrounded by magnificent ornamental gardens that can leave anyone awestruck by the beauty which can only bee seen along the shores of the northern Italian lakes.

One of the more popular Italian likes to visit is of course Lake Como which is actually only the third largest but it is also the deepest lake in Europe. Surrounded by majestic mountains and lush green landscapes is what makes visiting Lake Como a special holiday for anyone.

The largest of the northern Italian lakes is Lake Garda which can be seen stretching from the foothills of the Alps all the way down to the Dolomites. Because of its massive size, there is a vast diversity of scenery which can be seen along its shorelines, but with its great numbers of olive and lemon farms the smell around Lake Garda is something that everyone should experience.

From Desenzano to the Cannero Riviera, there are so many great little towns and villages along the shores of the Italian lakes that make choosing an Italian lakes holiday that much more special. While checking out the shores of the majestic lakes, do not forget to stop by and check out the sites like the Borromean Islands, gardens of Villa Taranto, Isola Bella as well as the annual Settimane Musicali Festival.
