Our walking holidays in Italy can be broken down into 4 main categories;
- Botanical
Lake Como is famous for the exquisite villas that dot the shoreline, Villa Carlotta, Balbianello and Melzi to name a few. The botanical gardens are simply stunning and offer a variety of flora for you to admire. - Sport
We suggest many walking itineraries ranging in difficulty from easy panoramic trails above the lakes to the more moderate trails up in the mountains. You can also enjoy a diving session in the lake and kite surfing on Lake Como or Lake Garda. - Religion
There are numerous religious monuments and symbols throughout Italy and if you want, you can incorporate a few on a walking tour of Italy: The Santa Caterina del Sasso Monastery in Stresa with remarkable frescoes dating back to the 14th century. Benedictine convent or the Sacro Monte, a UNESCO World Heritage site, telling the story of the life of St Francois of Assisi through 20 chapels decorated with colourful frescoes and life-size statues - Cultural
As the saying goes ‘When in Rome…’ and there is nothing more enjoyable than blending in with the locals at the colourful markets, browsing through the shops and sipping a Spritz on a café terrace! The Dole Vita on your holiday in Italy!
