Lake Garda & Venice

Poiano Resort, Lake Garda

Nicola and her family enjoyed their summer holiday at Poiano Resort , Lake Garda this August

 

The resort has amazing views of the lake and offers great facilities including an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

 

The hotel runs a free shuttle bus into Garda frequently throughout the day/evening.

Garda is one of the main resorts at the southern end of Italy’s largest lake.  You can walk along the picturesque lakeside promenade to Bardolino and Lazise

 

A pleasant and relaxing way to explore Lake Garda is by boat, you can either travel rapidly from one place to another on board a  hydrofoil  or  catamaran  or enjoy the peace and quiet of the lake on one of the slower pleasure  boats .

The cuisine of Lake Garda is based on the use of local fresh local products – pasta, risotto, meat, fish and desserts you are spoiled for choice which deciding what to eat.

From Garda you can easily travel around using the buses that run from the main bus station in Garda .
