After my first visit to Italy with Thomson Al Fresco last year, Altomincio became a firm favourite of mine, so I love to read other people’s reviews on it! The pools are ace, with so much atmosphere around them, and with the number of activities on site – it’s literally impossible to imagine anyone ever [...]
In Northern Italy, in Venice, or around Lake Garda, everywhere people seemed to be partaking the same elegant drink which looked very refreshing in the heat. We desperately wanted to try it – but it took a considerable time to learn what it was. You can’t really just say “Can I have one of those [...]
There’s nothing better on holiday, than the sight of your tots running about, with grins on their faces and excitement in their eyes, just dying to get their inflatables on and jump straight in the pool, right?

Gardaland which is Italy’s largest theme park, is Disneyland meets Thorpe Park with something for the whole family. For the Dads who like a bit of adrenalin you have the ‘Blue Tornado’ inverted roller coaster, for Mums who would prefer the [...]
