Twin Centre Suggestion
What could be nicer than a few days sightseeing in one of Italy's most beautiful cities followed by a relaxing stay on Lake Garda just soaking up the sun. You can combine 3, 4 or 7 nights in Verona with any of our hotels in the lakes area. For a holiday with a difference, combine Verona with the beautiful mountain resort of Selva. Transfer to your second centre by coach via Verona airport.
