The north-Italy is rich in important lakes, which are highly appreciated destinations for Italian and foreign travelers.

 
The main ones are the Lake Garda (the biggest Italian lake), Lake Maggiore and Lake Como.  Lake Lugano instead is a short distance from the last two, but in Switzerland, near the Italian border.
 
Celebrated since ancient times for their very mild climate, they are rich in beaches and places where you can relax and enjoy water sports.
 
Along the banks are beautiful villages, just think of Sirmione and Peschiera on Lake Garda, in Stresa and Verbania on Lake Maggiore, Como and Lugano on homonyms lakes.
 
The tourist offer, for all these lakes, is enriched by the opportunity to discover the places and the most beautiful sights in sailing boat.

Lake Garda is very close to Verona (20 km) , while the lakes Maggiore, Como and Lugano are easily reachable from Milan (all 3 approximately 50 km).
