class="intro"><strong>Italian vacations designed with only you in mind.</strong></p> <div> <p align="justify"><strong>Lake Garda</strong> is the largest lake in Italy, a region surrounded by high mountains, lush vegetation, and charming villages and towns spread along its shore. </p> <p align="justify">Rising above the lake is<strong> Monte Baldo</strong>, a real "Hortus Europa" with the wealth of flora that it boasts on its two slopes: the western one overlooking<strong> Lake Garda</strong> and the eastern one, descending in terraces to the valley of the <strong>Adige River</strong>, then continuing rumbling up terraces to <strong>Lessinia</strong> towards the Regional Nature Park.</p> <p align="justify"> Among this region's attractions is <strong>Albisano</strong>, a breathtaking terrace situated over <strong>Lake Garda</strong>, and nearby to <strong>San Zeno di Montagna</strong>, a village containing characteristic, historical and architectural buildings in an evocative, panoramic position over the lake. Descended from this point is<strong> Biasa</strong>, with another group of traditional houses situated within the bounds of an olive grove, and <strong>Castelletto</strong>, over Lake Garda. A short 10 km away from this point is <strong>Malcesine</strong>, with its historical centre gathered around the castle (see picture). </p> <p align="justify">From here it is possible to go up <strong>Monte Baldo</strong> by cableway, which takes you up in two stretches to the 1720 metres-high <strong>Tredes Pini</strong>, a spectacular and scenic "leap" which enables you to absorb the considerable majesty of the <strong>Benacense</strong> area.<br /> </p> </div> <p><div id="gmap_city"></div></p> <div class="sugg_tour_block">   </div> <div class="secondary_divider"></div> <div class="secondary_bottom_actions"> <a href="../contact.html"><img src="../images/photos/custom_trip_icon.jpg" alt="" width="87" height="73" /></a> <h2><a href="javascript:;" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('../custom_trip_planning.html','','width=550,height=494')">Custom Trip Planning</a></h2> <p>Road to Italy works with you to plan your Italian experience at a pace and taste that suits your wish list and your budget.
