DAY 6 Limone & Malcesine We’ve left today free for you to explore at your own pace. Boasting a mild climate and with many superb sights within easy reach, sparkling Lake Garda is in a glorious position set amongst olive and citrus groves, lush vineyards and soaring mountains. Why not head out with your travelling companions and discover the surrounding area.

We’ll then travel to Malcesine, a pretty town set between the shimmering waters of the lake and the mountain ridge of Monte Baldo, before returning to the hotel by ferry.
