Suggested Itinerary for A Eight DAY Life choices package
Day 1:
-
We will welcome you at the airport and transfer to Salò, Lake Garda. After settling in to your accommodation, we will join you for complimentary pre dinner aperitifs* and go over your itinerary for the week.
Later, you may wish to dine lakeside enjoying traditional food with some good local wines to sample. We are always happy to recommend restaurants and make reservations on your behalf. You may want to take a stroll along the promenade after dinner to experience the local nightlife!
-
After breakfast, we will meet at 10.00 - 11.30 for our first session. Following this, there are many lakeside cafes and restaurants where you can take lunch, relax with drinks and people watch - do as the Italians do!
Later in the afternoon, Gordon offers a free orientation/points of interest walk through the town with complimentary drink* on the way, followed by free time.
-
Today we plan to leave Salò for a complimentary excursion. We will travel up the Gardesana road on the south west shore of the lake. On arrival at the fishing village of Gargnano, you may take lunch in a restaurant at the water's edge while admiring the stunning views across the lake to Monte Baldo and beyond. In the afternoon, there will be the option to visit a local attraction, Il Vittoriale, in the beautiful town of Gardone. From 5.30 - 7.00, Lesley will offer individual process sessions to help you maximise your development.
-
Today you may wish to spend some time at the beach or there is a lido nearby. Salò has many winding streets with interesting shops and museums so if you prefer to stay out of the midday sun I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding the perfect spot. There are a lot of watersports in the area or you may want to take a ferry trip on the lake. Lesley will offer the option of a further individual session. This allows time during the day for both relaxation and personal reflection.
-
Today you may choose to begin with a session where we can review and consolidate the work we have done together so far.
-
Following this we offer an excursion to Verona. This is one of Italy’s most beautiful and vibrant cities and home of the summer opera season or if you prefer, you may use this day as you please. On arrival you can take lunch in front of Verona's centre piece, the Roman amphitheatre, there are also many other delights to explore either on foot or by taking a bus tour. We will meet up with you at a pre-arranged time for the return transfer journey to Salò.
-
After breakfast there will be free time to take a walk by the lake, capture the beauty of the area by taking a few photographs or stop off for coffee and brioche. You may want to relax on your private balcony and reflect on your time here. There will be the choice to have another session either morning or afternoon.
-
Our final excursion today takes us to the historic town of Sirmione. Located on a peninsula at the southern end of the lake you will delight in wandering the narrow streets where you will find art galleries and Roman ruins. A striking feature is the Scaliger Castle built in the 13th century. You may opt to return to Salò by ferry to experience the best of both worlds as it is a particularly pleasant sail. We will recommend somewhere special for your final evening dinner.
-
We will have our final session this morning to focus on your progress and forward plan for your return home. Depending on flight times you may wish to spend the day relaxing and making the most of the beautiful surroundings before we transfer you to the airport. We can arrange a late checkout if your flight is not until the evening. This will be at no additional cost.
