Lake Garda made us fall in love with Italian summer holidays. A summer holiday in Italy couldn’t possibly sound more romantic, but the two August weeks we spent in the villages spread around Lake Garda are so memorable we’ve been planning our wedding on its shores. Hard to beat!
Our tip: Soak up the sun ☀️, float in the fresh water 💦, repeat. Then Aperol Spritz. 🍹
