<p><strong>Day 8 &#8211;  <strong>Tour to Villa Avreadi and Olive oil tasting </strong></strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="860" height="430" src="https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design847.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-7138" style="width:700px" srcset="https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design847.jpg 860w, https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design847-300x150.jpg 300w, https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design847-768x384.jpg 768w, https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design847-585x293.jpg 585w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></figure>



<p>Nestled amidst Verona&#8217;s picturesque vineyards and olive groves lies Villa Arvedi, a stunning example of Venetian architecture that flourished during the Republic of Venice&#8217;s reign in the 14th century. Originally built in the <strong>12th century</strong>, the villa underwent extensive renovations in the 17th century, transforming it into the elegant residence you see today, adorned with frescoes and graced by a <strong>Baroque church</strong> in its courtyard. After exploring the villa, enjoy a tasting of local olive oil at a nearby farm.</p>



<p>Villa Arvedi is situated in the surroundings of Verona, in a splendid area of vineyards and olive trees, and is a fine example of Venetian Villa, that is a kind of building that spread in the area controlled by the Republic of Venice from the 14th century. At the time, noble families from Venice, longing for the countryside that their city lacked, started to settle on the mainland and build villas around which flourishing estates and gorgeous gardens developed. The core of Villa Arvedi dates to the 12th century, but huge refurbishments in the 17th made it the exquisite residence that you will visit today, with interiors bedecked with frescoes and the courtyard featuring a Baroque church. Once the visit to the villa is over, you will reach a nearby farm for a tasting of local olive oil.</p>



<p><strong>Day 9 &#8211;  <strong>Day trip to Lake Garda  </strong></strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="860" height="430" src="https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design849.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-7140" style="width:700px" srcset="https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design849.jpg 860w, https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design849-300x150.jpg 300w, https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design849-768x384.jpg 768w, https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design849-585x293.jpg 585w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></figure>



<p>The quaint town of Sirmione is situated on a little peninsula, renowned for its thermal waters. The area offers a unique tranquility, and an impressive number of interesting things to see. Not even the famous <strong>Maria Callas</strong> could resist Sirmione. During the fifties, she frequently visited the town and was enchanted by the beauty and quietness of the place as well as the discretion of its inhabitants and she elected Sirmione as her retreat. Follow your experienced guide for a relaxing stroll along the tiny alleys of the center, and then further on, where shops and bustle give way to residential neighborhoods surrounded by parks and gardens. Your walk will take you to the <strong>Grotte di Catullo</strong>, the remains of a Roman villa the visit of which will give you a good insight into the history of the area and some gorgeous views of the lake. A boat tour along the shore, the island of Garda, and the evocative Romantic Coast will give you the chance to enjoy some gorgeous views. You can also disembark at Punta San Vigilio and have a little stroll in the park or enjoy an aperitif, before meeting there your driver for a ride back to the hotel.</p>



<p><strong>Day 10 &#8211;  <strong>Verona to Lake Como transfe</strong>r and Walking tour of Como </strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="860" height="430" src="https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design850.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-7141" style="width:700px" srcset="https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design850.jpg 860w, https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design850-300x150.jpg 300w, https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design850-768x384.jpg 768w, https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design850-585x293.jpg 585w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></figure>



<p>After breakfast, you will meet your experienced driver and enjoy a scenic drive to Lake Como. Once you arrive, you will meet your experienced guide for a relaxing tour. </p>



<p>Renowned for the spectacular scenery it offers on its namesake lake, Como is also rich in history and vestiges of the past. Your guide will show you Como’s peculiarity: despite being a small city, it hosts buildings belonging to all historical periods: you will see a medieval portico, Renaissance buildings, <strong>Baroque churches</strong>, examples of Fascist architecture, and a contemporary sculpture dedicated to Alessandro Volta, the inventor of the electric battery, born in Como in the 18th century. You will have some time to stroll around on your own, before meeting your guide again and reaching Brunate. From this quaint village on the hilltop, you will enjoy an amazing view of the lake and the Alps beyond it.</p>



<p><strong>Day 11 &#8211;  <strong>Boat your of Lake Como </strong></strong></p>

<p>Discover Lake Como the best way possible – on board a private boat accompanied by an English-speaking skipper and a professional guide at your disposal. Enjoy a leisurely cruise along the western side of the lake, known as the “noble wing”, because of the presence of many grand Villas of the Italian nobility, most of which have now been bought by wealthy industrialists or movie stars. Arrive in Bellagio for a one-hour stop and return to Como.</p>



<p><strong>Day 12 &#8211;  <strong>Tour to Lugano </strong></strong></p>

<p>Embarking from picturesque Lake Como, a short drive brings you to Ticino, the Italian Canton. Amidst its charming streets, indulge in Swiss delights—world-famous chocolates and duty-free perfumes await.

<p>Seville was founded as the Roman city of Hispalis and was known as Ishbiliya after the Muslim conquest in 712. During the Muslim rule in Spain, Seville came under the jurisdiction of the Caliphate of Cordoba before becoming the independent Taifa of Seville; later it was ruled by the Muslim Almoravids and the Almohads until finally being incorporated into the Christian Kingdom of Castile under Ferdinand III in 1248. After the discovery of the Americas, Seville became one of the economic centers of the Spanish Empire as its port monopolized the trans-oceanic trade and the Casa de Contratación (House of Trade) wielded its power, opening a Golden Age of arts and literature. In 1519, Ferdinand Magellan departed from Seville for the first circumnavigation of the Earth. Coinciding with the Baroque period of European history, the 17th century in Seville represented the most brilliant flowering of the city&#8217;s culture; then began a gradual economic and demographic decline as silting in the Guadalquivir forced the trade monopoly to relocate to the nearby port of Cadiz. Accompanied by your experienced guide you will explore the city on foot, and see the most prominent sites of cultural and architectural importance.</p>
