Limone Holidays - Much-loved Lake Garda destination
Formerly a fishing village on the old border between Austria and Italy, Limone offers holiday visitors everything you’d expect from the Italian lakes. Visitors come to swim and windsurf in the fresh clean water of Lake Garda, admire the views of the wooded hills that rise steeply above the town, go walking in the beautiful landscape and spend leisurely evenings strolling along the lakefront paths, and dining on great food, in remarkable surroundings. Here in Limone there’s a colourful harbour and new port, a charming, bustling old town and a lakefront beach giving access to all the usual Lake Garda watersports. You’ll find a wide choice of hotels from top-end luxury offering spa facilities and on-site swimming pools and gardens, to more modest, family-run businesses. Although Limone is known and loved for its fragrant lemon groves, its name actually comes from the Latin word meaning ‘border’ - limen.
Holidays in Limone - Lively centre and quieter walking opportunities
The Italian lakes have long been loved for their romantic atmosphere, clement weather, peaceful views across the clear water, fresh air and wonderful cuisine. On holiday here, be sure to sample locally grown olives and of course the noted wines of the area: Bardolino, Soave and Valpolicella. In the old town of Limone the narrow cobbled streets are lined with shops and souvenir stalls, cafes and tavernas, so there is plenty to see and do. Beyond the town, you can head into the hills for some stimulating walking, rewarded with spectacular views across the lake. Venturing out of Limone, you can enjoy the real flavour of rural Italy, with its lemon and olive groves and luxuriant Mediterranean vegetation. Much of the accommodation in Limone is spread out beyond the old centre, up into the slopes of the hills, with hotels offering regular bus services into the town’s hub. Limone is served by two airports: Bergamo and Verona.
Limone Holidays - See northern Italy from this colourful base
The bustling lakeside markets and lively restaurants of Limone will keep you well entertained, but you and your family might like to explore other parts of northern Italy on your holiday. A real spectacle is an evening at the opera of Verona, where you can soak up the culture in the warm evening air. Excursions can be arranged from most hotels in Limone. A major family attraction within easy reach of Limone is Gardaland, Italy’s largest amusement park, and trips across the lake to other towns of note, such as Garda, Sirmione and Gardone Riviera with its famous botanical gardens, are highly enjoyable.
