I have just returned from a family holiday to Lake Garda in Italy. The towns around the lake are beautiful, with Sirmione being one of my favourites. The historic cities of Verona and Venice can be reached easily by train from Peschiera Del Garda, the resort we stayed in. For fun days out there are free shuttle buses from Peschiera to the Movieland and Gardaland theme parks. There really is something for the whole family at Lake Garda https://www.gardaitaly.com/
