The fun part about being an author is that
you get to spend your days in some wonderful locations, even if it’s virtually!
But the only way to be able to sit down and really share with the readers what
the experience is like, is to visit in person.
Lake Garda is a place I have visited
several times over the years, and it will always be one of my all-time
favourite holiday destinations. Whether you fly direct or are planning a grand
European tour by road – it is a dream destination.
The villa featured in Summer on the Italian Lakes is fictitious but based on a composite
of two properties in which I have stayed. But the descriptions of being up in
the hills and the trips taken are real-life experiences.
Italy is an overload of stimuli –
everywhere you look, every breath you take in, and everything you touch, fills
your heart with love for the vibrancy and warmth of this beautiful country.
It’s full of passionate people – for love and life. Fiery temperaments,
fabulous food and wonderful wines; flavours that literally grab you with their
freshness and taste. Wonderful music and art; scenery that will make your jaw
drop; beautiful architecture around which to saunter and so many hidden gems to
discover.
But up in the hills where it’s quieter,
it’s the perfect place to reconnect with the inner you. For me a holiday has to
combine everything – lots of exciting things to experience, but also some time
to relax and chill.
So, it was the perfect setting for this
book and the only sadness for me, was that I didn’t get to do a research trip!
I didn’t need to as all of those memories are locked inside my head, and my
heart – but, oh, Italy is calling me loud and clear! If you haven’t been,
please do add it to your list of must-sees and Lake Garda is the perfect place
to begin.
