Lake Carezza
Lake Carezza in the Italian Dolomites is one of the most, and one of the many, beautiful lakes that the area can boast. However, it is also one of the more unique, and especially stunning, lakes in the region. Also known by locals as “Lec de ergobando”, or Rainbow Lake, due to the way light and the surrounding landscape reflects colourfully on the surface of the waters, it is shrouded in local legend. If you're looking for a holiday drenched in natural beauty, otherworldly settings and stories of lovesick sorcerers and drowned rainbows, this might just be the place for you. Find yourself a holiday rental in Trentino Alto Adige and you can explore this natural phenomenon and the myths surrounding it for yourself.     Read More

Lake Reschen, Tower
Lake Reschen, in South Tyrol, Italy is an artificial lake located near the Reschen Pass, right by the border with Austria. Work was begun in 1940 but WWII and local protestations meant that it was not completed until 1950. The lake unifies two natural lakes, Reschensee and Mittersee, and submerged several villages, including Graun and Reschen. The thing that makes this site so remarkable, however, is the 14th century church tower which can still be seen, poking out of the water. At once eerie and beautiful, it is a remarkable thing to behold and surrounded by some of the world's most astounding scenery.     Read More
