Packing list for a week in the Italian lakes

I have unexpectedly been invited for a week in Lake Garda. I always over pack so can any of your lovelies give me the ultimate packing list?

When are you going? What do you plan to do? (Hiking, biking, sunbathing, clubbing?) What sort of things do you like to wear generally and on holiday, what is your style? Do you like/hate shorts, dresses? What do you have in the wardrobe you'd like to take. Are you taking hold or hand luggage?

We are going in 10 days time. Most of time will be in the sun relaxing. I can’t do much walking due to a mobility problem. Planning meals out on an evening and drinks. I’m a size 12 and have a very large wardrobe. In terms of what I like wearing dresses, trousers and shorts are all ok. Prefer a shirt to wear with shorts but will take a couple of t shirts. Main concern is over packing!

For a week in the sun I'd

  • Wear 1 pair trainers, take 2 pairs sandals
  • Wear 1 light jacket, take a cardigan if cool evenings
  • 2 or 3 dresses
  • 4 pairs shorts
  • Wear lighters comfort trousers, take 1 or 2 lightweight trousers or skirts
  • 3 shirts
  • A small self vests &t-shirts, space permitting
  • Something comfy to lounge in accommodation
  • Couple of swimwear options if needed
-Underwear, basic toiletries
