This was a magnificent trip faultlessly organised. We were based at three locations, Lake Garda, Verona and Milan. All of our transport turned up on time, the cars were luxurious, and the drivers extremely helpful.
The three hotels were first class. We had a balcony room overlooking Lake Garda. T he excursion to Isola del Garda was a delight. We were shown round by Alberta the daughter of the Cavazza/Borgese Family who spoke perfect English. (their mother is English by birth.)
The Accademia in Verona is excellent, very centrally placed. All of our documents were awaiting us and all in good order. We had excellent seats for the opera, Nabucco, and enjoyed it so much that we booked again for Aida two nights later. As advised, three nights was just right for Verona which is a charming place.
The Hotel la Ville in Milan is magnificent. The staff were very friendly and helpful (except for the serving staff at breakfast who wer5re a bit uncommunicative - couldn't work out why as all the rest were wonderful. We did not get to see Leonardo's Last Supper in spite of all our efforts to book online and by telephone. Staff at the hotel told us that it is notoriously difficult. We went for our art fix to the Brera which is really worth while.
So full marks to Hannah at Weekend a la Carte for organising it so perfectly. We were very impressed.
