I wish it was that simple to look in a magic mirror and be told which Italian lake is the most stunning and should be your next holiday destination!
I've been to many of the Northern Italian lakes. Como, Garda, Trasimeno, Lugano. They all have a certain beauty to them. Their own personality.

As most of you know by now, we are huge fans of the Italian lake region. We've been holidaying and visiting family around Lake Como for 12 years. We were married there, our babies were baptised there and we really feel like it's a home from home.

A Perfect Day in Italy (#DolceVitaBloggers)
This month at Dolce Vita Bloggers we're writing about our Perfect Day in Italy.
It's so hard to pick just one idea or one day as so many different perfect things seem to happen when you're in Italia. What I love is the amount of spontaneous moments you tend to have here.
