Islands and bodies of water: the allure of slow tourism on lakes
Italian lakes are an irresistible lure when the season gets brighter. May and June getaways are the perfect opportunity to sail to enchanting islands, true botanical paradises that offer relaxation away from city chaos. At this time, vegetation is at its peak, transforming lake gardens into belvederes of absolute peace.
On Lake Garda, one of the most fascinating destinations is Isola del Garda. Here stands a magnificent Venetian neo-Gothic style villa surrounded by a unique natural habitat where fragrant lemon, pear and Banksia roses thrive luxuriantly. Strolling through its gardens during May and June getaways allows visitors to admire nature in perfect weather. Equally picturesque is Lake Iseo, where you can sail to Monte Isola. As it is closed to traffic, it is the ideal place to walk to discover paths that reach the sanctuary of Madonna della Ceriola, the island’s most scenic spot at 599 meters above sea level.
Central Italy also hides precious gems for May and June getaways. Lake Trasimeno offers its islands as treasure troves of biodiversity and culture, where you can retrace the paths dear to St. Francis. A little further south, Lake Bolsena invites you to discover Isola Bisentina. This volcanic atoll offers a mystical path between Renaissance monuments and unspoiled nature, recently returned to the public.
Planning a trip to these bodies of water provides easy logistics and peace of mind. Whether it’s a sailing tour or a backpacking hike, the Italian lakes prove to be excellent destinations for slow tourism.
