"Maybe the reason the Italian lakes are so special is that their dramatic scenery is incomparable: lakes, mountains, old villages and beautiful islands. But the Italian Lake District also means cozy trattorie where you can enjoy genuine cuisine, lovely local wines, old cobblestone paths, and lovely villages dating back to the Middle Ages. The Lakes are art, history, nature, botanical gardens, and nice friendly people. Come see for yourself!"—Micaela Lucini, Certified Guide for the Italian Lake District
