New Voyage Privé

Carefully selected by our experts especially for you

Your Destination

Considered the ‘Italian Lake District’, Lombardy is a varied region filled with stylish cities, stunning countryside, and breathtaking mountains. Located in the north of Italy, hugging the border with Switzerland, visitors to this region might congregate in Milan, its capital, but there is so much to see in the mountainous regions to the north of the city.

Between Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, and Lake Garda there is a wealth of options for a lakeside break. In the shadow of the snow-covered Rhaetian Alps, Lake Como is home to sumptuous villas with cascading, luscious gardens, while a trip to Lake Maggiore offers unforgettable views of the tranquil Borromean Islands. On the shores of Lake Garda, Gardone Riviera is a laid-back tourist resort with a charming promenade and plenty of opportunities to take a pleasure cruise across the lake.

If you’re hankering for a city trip, Milan offers it all - the birthplace of some of the world’s foremost fashion houses and home to a stunning Gothic Cathedral, a trip here is sure to inspire. Don’t miss the chance to see Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic mural The Last Supper, housed in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in the city.

Podere Castel Merlo
