Lake Garda - Grand Hotel, Riva
Lake Garda is the most popular of the Italian lakes and famed for its mild climate and beauty. One of its attractions is the great diversity between the vineyards that fringe the south-eastern shores to the majestic mountains that plunge dramatically into the crystalline waters to the north. The landscape has the feel of the Mediterranean, with palms and citrus trees among olive groves and vines. Riva del Garda is the Northern most town on the shores of Lake Garda. Bardolino is one of the best-known of the Lake Garda resorts, mainly due to the wine made from the grapes grown in the surrounding hillsides and offers visitors a traffic-free centre with numerous bars, restaurants and shops. Alternatively, Desenzano is a charming village and a very popular bathing resort with a thriving nightlife.
