Villa La Gardenia & Oleandra is a real hidden gem in Limone. It’s located above the town so you get fantastic views of the lake– you could sit in the garden admiring the lake and mountain scenery all day.

A tranquil getaway on the lake

There are three villas making up the hotel; each surrounded by palm and olive trees. The pool and sun terrace are the best places to relax and top up your tan. The restaurant also takes advantage of the views with a terrace overlooking the lake. This hotel is perfect if you're looking for somewhere very peaceful and a bit out of the way. It's been done up to a very high quality, and as a result has people coming back year on year.

Private paths and guided walks

The centre of Limone isn't far away, but far enough that the hotel feels like it's own private oasis. Take your time wandering around the old cobbled streets and boutique shops in the old town and if you can, join the hotel owners on their weekly guided walk – it’s a great way to get to know Limone better. There's even a private path that leads straight from the hotel to a waterfall and an incredible panoramic view-point. The walk takes about an hour but there are places to stop and rest along the way.

Summer holidays in Limone offer a romantic escape on the shores of Lake Garda, surrounded by mountains. This picturesque village is a blend of old-world charm, with its narrow alleys, historic houses, and vibrant flower-filled balconies, alongside lively shops, cosy taverns, and inviting restaurants. In summer, the weekly market bursts with local treasures—lemons, olive oil, wine, and cheese—while the fishermen’s museum reveals the rich history that has shaped Limone over the centuries. Whether you’re exploring or relaxing by the lake, Limone holidays offer an unforgettable Italian experience.

Walking holidays in Limone

Walking holidays in Limone are a fantastic way to explore the stunning landscape, with trails ranging from easy lakeside strolls to more challenging hikes that stretch up to 1,000 metres. Unlike other destinations, Limone has no gondolas, so if you want those spectacular summer views from the top, you’ll need to put in the effort—but the rewards are well worth it. The trails wind through lush olive groves, charming villages, and dramatic cliffs, offering breathtaking views of Lake Garda and the surrounding Dolomites. Whether you’re seeking a leisurely walk or a more invigorating climb, Limone’s walking paths promise an unforgettable experience for nature lovers

Explore Lake Garda by boat

Taking a boat to and from Limone offers the best views of the village, especially in the summer. The ferries provide a fast and scenic way to explore other areas around Lake Garda, and you can take tours that follow the coastline, stopping at historic sites and charming lakeside villages. Using the boats to reach other towns also opens up a variety of walking trails, giving you access to even more picturesque starting points for your adventures around the lake.

Italian food & wine

The food and wine scene in Limone is truly exceptional! Explore local restaurants and bars for delicious food and a vibrant atmosphere, but for the most authentic experience, seek out hidden gems off the beaten path. Lake Garda, with its ancient winemaking traditions, is home to some fantastic local wines. Be sure to try an Aperitivo Chiarè, a refreshing pink sparkling wine spritzer made from local rosé, or enjoy a glass of classic Bardolino—there’s nothing like savouring a glass on a warm summer day. Despite its small size, Limone boasts a surprising number of excellent bars to enjoy the local flavours.

Cycling in Limone

Completed in 2018, the Limone sul Garda section of the Ciclopista del Garda (Garda Cycle Path) offers a breathtaking trail along Limone’s coastline, perfect for cycling or walking if you want more relaxed pace. Built into rocky cliffs and suspended 50 metres above Lake Garda, the path provides stunning views, and thanks to LED floodlighting, you can even enjoy it at night. For mountain biking enthusiasts, Limone’s inland trails are a paradise of dirt tracks and mule paths, while road cyclists can explore countless kilometres of scenic, paved routes.
