What could be better than a tour of 5 lakes between Italy and Switzerland? These five natural jewels are famous for displaying their beauty near the wide and fertile plains of the Po river valley, close to the Alps and the Dolomites.
The shores of this journey are filled with fishing villages, medieval castles, rich Renaissance palaces and neoclassical villas, ancient ruins and colorful gardens. From Ernest Hemingway to George Lucas, many celebrities have been seduced by this region.
