Thanks for that Debs,
it does sound good, is it like the Lake district, only with sun:\

hi carl, that hotel looks posh, do they sell chips

Both Nerja and Lake Garda look great, i think i need to decide quickly where we want to go. We supposed to be going in 12 weeks:eek :eek
Its not like me to be undecisive, but then again, maybe it is:\ :lol

Hi Jiggs!

We decided to have a change from PP 2 years ago and went to Malcesine on Lake Guarda. It was very pretty with cobbled streets and an old castle and we had a lovely time but it was a fair bit quieter than PP - mostly elderly German tourists who were v nice - friendly and terribly polite BUT they all ate early (we are talking 6 pm) and were seen leaving the bars at 9 oclock when we were just heading out to eat! (and then they were up at 6.30 am with the hairdryer going!) the restaurants and bars were deserted by 10 pm and most closed shortly after! (fair no of elderly English gentlemen in sandals/ socks combo too!)

The food was as you'd expect in Italy of good quality with generous portions but we were a little disappointed with the lack of choice. Not like the south of Italy where you get extensive menus. We are so spoiled with the choice in PP and Italians don't really understand the concept of vegetarianism!

Would recommend one of the larger resorts instead like Guarda itself - or Limone is very pretty but a bit of a drive around the lake. Or you could look further south in Italy - Sorrento does get rather busy but is very nice or Amalfi just down the coast is a little quieter. Lots to do with trips to Capri, Versuvius, Naples, Pompeii...

If going to the lakes Verona opera is a must - a fabulous experience sitting on the steps watching the sunset/ swifts swooping and then 4 hours of Aida under the stars - sore on the old botty though! Take some vino and hire "Una cushione"!

We did miss PP awfully though - in fact we managed to squeeze in a week in September that year to compensate!

Whatever you do - try not to compare to PP - there is simply none to beat - and enjoy! Lala xx
