Alitalia now flies to Milan from Dublin every Wednesday and Saturday for £230. The easiest way to get to the Veneto is to fly into Venice, but that can only be done from London. British Airways and Alitalia will do both legs for approximately £380. Flying to Verona is possible from Dublin from June to September. Flight plus two weeks hotel in the Lake Garda region could run from £550 to as much as £1,300 at the Hotel Du Lac in Riva, but Crystal Holidays last season offered a September week in that town for £385 half board including transfers. Car hire is in the region of £200 a week.
