With its endless romantic charm, holidays to Limone are about discovering the many delights of an enchanting cliffside town.
Limone's lemons
Clinging to the rocks on Lake Garda’s north-western shore, the picturesque town of Limone is renowned for its dramatic setting, and even more so for its fragrant lemon (limone in Italian) groves. Approaching the harbour by boat, you spot the terraced lines of lemons, olives and other fruit trees stretch across the hills above the town. For a glimpse into the long history of Limone’s citrus industry, it’s well worth the short climb up to the hilltop Limonaia del Castèl museum – the entry’s cheap, and the sweet scent of orange blossom hangs in the air all around you.
From the Old Town to the beaches
A simple highlight of Limone is to wander round the attractive Borgo Antico – or Old Town. Flower-lined cobbled lanes wind up and around its shops, restaurants and traditional shuttered houses. Make your way to the bustling waterfront promenade for spectacular views across the lake – the imposing peaks of the Monte Baldo mountains are a treat for the eyes at any time of day. And if time in the sun is your idea of fun, you’ll want to make your way down to one of the fantastic free beaches. There are lots to choose from, just note that most are pebbly – so taking river shoes or similar footwear is recommended if you’re tempted in for a dip.
Trips, tours and activities
There's a bunch of great things you can do from Limone. If seeing the sights on two wheels is up your street, you can hire a bike or join an e-bike tour to ride along the Ciclopedonale – a cycle and walking path that wraps around the hillside hanging over the lake. There are guided nature trails which take you further up into the hills, where photo-ops come in thick and fast. And of course nothing beats getting out onto the water itself. Hop on a ferry to visit other lakeside towns like Riva and Malcesine, or you can even try your hand at windsurfing or kitesurfing from here – the conditions are usually spot on.
