Avoid the lakes in season as it will be heaving, made the mistake of doing Garda a few years back in June and it was a mare.

It rains a fair bit in the Azores, it's like the Lake District with the heating turned on.

Spent the first week of our honeymoon on the west side of Lake Como (Tremezzo Grand Hotel) very beautiful, plenty of villas (Villa Carlotta next door), ferries around the Lake, Bellagio etc. Yes it does get busy but well worth it (not cheap mind).

So what is there to actually do? Sounds like catching ferries to see lovely villas and gardens, admire the view, then on to the next one. Even for me that's too dull!

This might be a shock, but does that look like somewhere where it doesn't rain much?

I think you'll find the clue was in the word "honeymoon"...
