VERY IMPORTANT NOTE - NEW ITALY STAY TAX - Hotels may charge you a tax during your tour which is beyond the control of Edwards Coaches and is entirely at the discretion of each hotel.
The Italian Government has given the ability for each municipalities in Italy to decide if they wish to introduce a stay tax levied on tourists. This has been implemented sporadically throughout Italy with each municipalities deciding how they collect this. The tax broadly ranges from €1-€5 per person per night and is generally collected from each passenger on arrival. Due to the uncertain nature of collection and the decision being made by the municipalities we are recommending that all passengers are made aware of this on booking to ensure that any tax can be paid on arrival at their hotel if you are asked for it.

Day 4
We travel to the Swiss resort of Lugano, set on its own lake, partly in Italy and partly in Switzerland. With its compact piazzas and extensive tree-lined promenades, Lugano is the most alluring of Ticino’s lake resorts. The centre of town is the Piazza della Riforma, a huge café lined square near the lake.
Day 5
Today we travel to Lake Como. At the heart of Como’s walled Old Town, the Piazza San Fedele has many 400-year old buildings and the basilica, one of the masterpieces of the masters of Como. At the top of Via Contu, you will see the old wall’s most spectacular standing tower, the Porta Vittoria with the very austere church of San Abbandio next door. Climb the hill behind it and go to the top of Barodello Tower for a lovely view of the entire lake.
Day 6
Today we enjoy a leisurely excursion to Lake Orta, one of the smallest of northern Italy’s Alpine lakes. We travel via Omega to the charming car free lakeside village of Orta San Giulio. The picturesque lakeside central square, with its frescoed 16th century town hall, overlooks the island of San Giulio. (The land train from the coach park is unable to gain access to the lakeside promenade so you have to walk down to the square from the new stop)
