Theresa May reportedly belted out the national anthem in the piano bar of a luxury Italian hotel while on holiday.

The Prime Minister and husband Philip were enjoying an escape from 'just about managing' Britain at the five-star Villa Cortine Palace Hotel, on the banks of Lake Garda.

And one night resident pianist Davide Foroni says he couldn't resist playing God Save The Queen when Mrs May entered the lavish bar.

He told the Sun: "As soon as the first notes started she was on her feet with her husband proudly singing along. Everyone stood."

He said around seventy guests took to their feet for the anthem, with British guests joining in.

The most basic rooms in the luxury destination come complete with glass chandeliers and marble bathrooms.

Prices in high season start at more than £500 a night for a double room.

Prestige Deluxe Rooms with “unparalleled” views of the lake from the large balcony terrace, can run to well over £900 a night. A suite would break the £1000 a night barrier.

The lavish getaway venue's website boasts visitors to their piano bar can expect an "exceptional selection" of whiskey cognac, rum and Italian brandy - accompanied by "delicate and discreet" music.
