Most importantly, you will stay right on the shores Lake Garda itself, at Hotel La Paul in Sirmione, with its private gardens and direct access to the lake. The historic centre and castle walls of picture-perfect Sirmione are just 850m away, so ideal for a leisurely evening stroll with perhaps an after-dinner ice-cream in one of Lake Garda’s most iconic destinations.

And if that is not enough, your time in Italy will be guided throughout AND include tastings of three of the regions most iconic products – olive oil, grappa and wine from Valpolicella. Combine that with the sunshine and warmth of late spring and this is an absolute cracker of a holiday…

The Company will not be held responsible for late arrivals or missed flights due to circumstances beyond its control.

Return Collections

The Company has access to most UK airports flight arrivals information and relies heavily on the live updates being provided by the major Airline Companies. It is therefore imperative that we are given your return flight details in full on final confirmation of your booking. Depending on which UK airport you are using you will be given a set of instructions to follow on what to do upon your return flight arrival.
