Fourteen nights at one of northern Italy's most popular family resorts, based at Bella Italia in Peschiera del Garda on the southern shores of Lake Garda. With flights from Dublin, private transfers and a two bedroom self catering bungalow included, this is a straightforward and well priced summer holiday for a family of four.
Set directly on the shores of Lake Garda, Bella Italia is one of the most popular family destinations in northern Italy. Days can be spent cooling off in the outdoor pools with their slides and splash zones, relaxing on the private lakeside beach or hiring a bike to follow the trails along the water's edge.
Sports facilities include football, basketball, tennis and volleyball, while paddleboards, pedal boats and canoes get you out onto the lake itself. Younger children have dedicated playgrounds and kids activities, and evenings bring family shows, live music and themed events around the resort.
On site restaurants serve wood fired pizza, fresh pasta and proper regional Italian dishes, with waterfront bars and cafés dotted along the lakeside for an aperitivo as the sun goes down. For a livelier evening, the resort's entertainment areas keep the atmosphere going after dinner.
A well stocked supermarket on site keeps self catering simple when you want a quieter night in, and the two bedroom bungalow gives you a full kitchen to work with.
A short stroll from the resort takes you into Peschiera del Garda, a lakeside town with historic streets, pretty piazzas and ferry connections across the lake. From here you can sail to Sirmione, where a fairy tale castle juts out into the water and thermal baths have been drawing visitors since Roman times.
For family days filled with thrills, Garda land, Italy’s largest theme park, is just a short journey away, offering rollercoasters, rides, and shows for all ages. Nearby, Caneva Aquapark is the perfect spot to cool down, with slides, wave pools, and water fun for the whole family.
If you want to add a cultural twist, Verona is within easy reach, offering Roman history and Shakespearean romance, while Venice promises an unforgettable day of gondola rides, winding canals, and world-famous piazzas. Whether you choose relaxation or adventure, Bella Italia places all of these experiences within easy reach.

A South America holiday can mean exploring Machu Picchu, watching giant tortoises in the Galápagos, walking beneath the peaks of Patagonia or combining Rio de Janeiro with Iguaçu Falls. The right trip depends on the experiences you want to come home talking about, whether that is Inca history in Peru, wildlife in the Galápagos Islands, glaciers and time outdoors in Patagonia, or the cities and natural landscapes of Brazil.
