South of Verona in the Padana Plains, the so-called “bassa veronese” or “Lower Veronese” area, there is quite a significant and prosperous production of rice. In particular, the “vialone nano” rice variety is produced in this area, which the European Community Council in 1992 gave the quality and guarantee markers “I.G.P.” and “D.O.P.” (protected geographical indication and protected denomination of origin).

All around the Veronese and Lake Garda territory it is possible to taste different rice or risotto specialties either cooked with sausage, red chard, Amarone wine, asparagus, or lake fish. Another specialty from this region are the famous Tortellini from Valeggio, meat filled pasta folded into small knots.

These inimitable tortellini, made only by hand according to the old tradition, are enhanced by the delicious sauces from the local cusine.

Charles Baudelaire The Garda territory has been blessed by Mother Nature by wonderful landscapes, where the productions of wine and olives find their perfect natural habitat.

Festivity Breaks Magical Italian Christmas Markets From the 6th to the 24th December 1st DAY: Arrival at your hotel on Lake Garda. Welcome drink. Dinner and overnight stay.

2nd DAY: After breakfast departure to Bolzano. Here the Christmas market is perhaps more important than elsewhere due to the great Germanic and Austrian traditions. The large Christmas market of Bolzano begins in the centre at Walther Platz, the city’s main square, and from there extends throughout the whole of the historic centre where you can admire not only the stands but open air museums, and performances for the young and old. In the afternoon visit to Merano’s Christmas market where you can find typical handmade gifts crafted by Tyrolese artisans. On the way back to the hotel a short stop in the town of Garda for a taste of Vin Brulè, a typical winter beverage of the area made with spiced hot wine. Dinner and overnight stay in hotel.

3rd DAY: After breakfast departure to Trento to visit its typical Christmas market, with kiosks and stands that sell many types of local merchandize and hand-crafted products. In the afternoon stop at Arco to

visit the traditional Habsburg market in the antique district assembled by little houses built in Austro-Hungarian style. Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

4th DAY: After breakfast departure to Venice. Guided visit of St. Mark’s square, the Rialto Bridge and other interesting sites of this enchanting city built on the water on a pleasant walking tour through the Venetian alleys and across the canals. Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

Break for cappuccino and pandoro, a typical cake eaten only during the Christmas festivities in Verona, today famous world round.

Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.

6th DAY: Departure after breakfast.

Pandoro di Verona This refined, naturally eavened cake is the fruit of an ancient confectionery art. It is the traditional Christmas cake of Verona and probably got its name from its characteristic golden color, due to the eggs in its recipe. Some think it comes from an ancient, more humble family cake that the Veronese used to bake for Christmas: “nadalin”, a star-shaped cake, decorated with sugar, pineseeds and anisette. The “real” history of Pandoro as we know it today starts in Verona towards the end of ‘800. € 286,00

Lake Maggiore Lake Maggiore has always been an area rich in fascination and full of surprises. In the 1800’s it was the exciting discovery of cultured travellers, poets and writers; later it became the destination of an elite European tourism and the summer residence of the aristocracy and upper classes.

Today its gently descending shores are dotted with a succession of luxurious villas and magnificent gardens. But the first thing that impresses the visitor to lake Maggiore are three beautiful islands that, together with the Castles of Cannero, form the splendid Borromeo archipelago: Isola Bella, with its magnificient palazzo and gardens, Isola Madre, with its rich botanical gardens and the Isola Pescatori, a maze of picturesque lanes and passages.

34

Isola Bella Gardens Located on Isola bella, facing Stresa, the garden was planted during the Baroque period by will of Prince Carlo III of Borromeo. Vitaliano VIII, son of Carlo III, a student of botany, made some changes with the intent of transforming Isola Bella into a mythial garden, a sort of Terrestrial Paradise. The result is a sublime example of an Italian garden that has knowingly combined architecture, art and nature. One may admire the extraordinary collection of

camellias, vast extensions of azaleas, camphor trees, splendid magnolias and botanical rarities.

Villa Taranto This villa is located in Pallanza where in 1931 the rich Scotsman, Neil Mc Eacharn, decided to gather on the shores of the lake a large number of botanical species from all over the world.

the different seasons and one can admire about three thousand botanical species.

Bamboo, banana trees, Camellias simensis palms (tea plant) cedars, ancient cypresses and oaks of considerable age can be admired at this garden.

Well known is the 300-year old Kashmir cypress, the oldest exemplar of this plant found in Europe. Along with botanical

Lake Como Lake Como, or lake Lario, is of glacial origin and occupies the cavity cut out by the glacier of the Adda that, in the quaternarian era extended over the two southern branches of the lake before coming out in the Brianza leaving there morenic hills and other small lakes. It is the third largest subalpine lake, but the deepest of all of them, having a maximum depth of 410 metres. Its form of an overturned “Y� with two branches of Como and Lecco and with the upper basin of Colico gives it its perimeter of 170 Km. It is a fascinating territory, which has become today a paradise for tourists. The most famous resorts are Bellagio and Tremezzo. The first one is renowned for its characteristic little steep streets, which house many shops, and the romantic gardens full of wonderful flowers of Villa Melzi and Villa Serbelloni.

The fame of Tremezzo is due instead to the wellknown Villa Carlotta, main destination on Lake Como both for its gardens and for its art treasures by Canova, Hayez, and Thorvaldsen.

40

Villa Carlotta (Tremezzo) Located at Tremezzo, the Villa was named after Princess Carlotta of Nassau, donated to her by her mother in occasion of her marriage to Prince George of Saxon Meiningen. Since 1925 the villa has belonged to the Villa Carlotta Institution which preserved the villa exactly as

it used to be. In the garden of the villa you can admire the mignificent blossoms of azaleas and rhododendros, palm trees, conifers (among which the Sequoia sempervirens and the gigantea), arboreous ferns, citrus plantations, as well as works of art such as the copy of “Love and Psyche” by the famous sculptor Canova.

Villa Melzi (Bellagio) Villa Melzi was built by Francesco Melzi d’Eril, the Chancellor of the Kingdom of Italy founded

by Napoleon. The villa, which was conceived as a summer residence, is a perfect example of neoclassic architecture: the elegant terrace and the statue placed in the flower-beds, the avenue of plane trees bordering the lake, were conceived as part of the original neoclassical lay out of the garden. A contrasting romantic atmosphere is created by groups of giant rhododendros and azaleas which cover the green slopes of the centre of the

garden.

Many illustrious guests have stayed at the villa, including Lizst and Stendhal. The villa, still private property, is a national monument.

Lake Levico Lake Levico tapers into the landscape between steep and woody embankments like a fjord. This lake boasts some of the purest water in the Trentino region and is a virtual paradise for fishermen since it is populated by a wide variety of fish such as pike, trout, carp and tinca. The small town of Levico Terme extends from the shores of the lake to the woody hillsides of Mount Fronte, where at an altitude of 1,500 meters there are two springs of arsenic ferruginous water that supplies the thermal spas of Levico and Vetriolo. The high concentration of arsenic and iron makes these springs unique in Europe. The beneficial waters of Levico Terme have been famous since 1897, when the small town became one of the favourite destinations of the austrian nobility. Nowadays Levico Terme spa is particularly well known for cures of stress and its consequent psychosomatic problems; recommended also for rheumatism, affections of the respiratory tract, thyroid gland, gynaecological problems, blood affections.

Thanks to the possibility of a lake, mountain and thermal stay Levico is an ideal destination for a regenerating holiday.
