Forget Como. We're hopping on the Garda train. The slightly "lesser-known" of Italy's great lakes, Lago di Garda is, in a word, magnificent.
If you're in the mood to shop, stop by Desenzano del Garda. From clothing, shoes, and jewellery boutiques, to bottegas for local food and wine specialities - you're sure to find a little treat to take home.
