during Renaissance times.
Tranquil Brescia, Lioness of Italy.
Look at Verona. Imagine the
Roman legionnaires marching
along the Claudia Augusta Way,
or the rich merchants in the
Venetian palaces, the Austrian
guns shooting during the First
World War. See the balcony,
think of Romeo and Juliet, and
imagine their great love story.
And then head north, to Trento.
Home to the Buonconsiglio
Castle, the Cathedral and the
Aquila Tower. Site of the most
important ecumenical council
of the Catholic Church, which
ended in 1563. Trento, with its
River Adige, the ideal mirror for
the Dolomites.

THE CHARM
OF NUMBERS
For your holiday, you can be
sure of the best standards of
hospitality and organization.
The answer to all your personal
needs, which may even change
from day to day, is not just a
question of atmosphere, but
also of quality and flexible
hospitality. And hospitality
on Lake Garda has ancient
traditions, confirmed by the
more than 61,000 beds available
in 1,110 hotels and 100,000
beds in 1,250 other types of
accommodation. All facing over
the great spectacle of the lake,
distributed along the
145 kilometres of coastline.
