Accommodation and Resort Guide
General Description of Limone sul Garda; A very attractive, compact former fishing village that has managed to retain much of its old-world charm, in some part due to the fact that it was only connected to its neighbours by road and tunnels in 1932. It is famous for its olive oil and lemons, although its name actually comes from the Latin for "border" (limen) rather than the citrus fruit. The main, older part of town – with its narrow, twisting, cobbled streets lined with shops – stretches from the tiny old port (Porto Vecchio) in the N to the new port (Porto Nuovo) in the S, with a pedestrianised lakeside promenade running between the two. From this main hub, development spreads mainly S-wards into the hills, with much of the accommodation situated in this area rather than around the old town.

Market Suitability; Mid- to up-market, young to middle aged. Walkers and water-sports enthusiasts, the hilly terrain probably makes it unsuitable for anyone with mobility problems or families with small children.

Position: On a small bay in hilly terrain, backed by lemon and olive groves, sheer cliffs and spectacular mountain scenery.

Shopping; Mainly good-quality leather shops selling shoes, bags and coats. Many little gift shops situated in the cobbled alleyways. A market is held every first and third Tues of the month on the town square and promenade. The local olive oil comes highly recommended for its health properties.

Entertainment; Daytime: strolling around the old town or through the lemon groves (can be steep); various interesting local churches, some with frescoes; archaeological museum; local olive-oil mill; mountain hiking and biking; small tennis complex; lake swimming; water sports including sailing, windsurfing, diving, water-skiing, jet-skiing and motorboat hire.

Nightlife: good choice of bars and cafes, many worth hunting down in the backstreets; live open-air music in the resort centre 1 evening a week; evening boat trips to Malcesine.

Eating Out; Typical range of pizzerias and restaurants, mainly concentrated along the lakefront.

Public Transport; Hourly bus service to lakeside resorts and nearby towns including Brescia (S) and Riva (N). Regular boat services including car ferry.

Local Excursions; Full day: Sirmione with its castle and Roman villa; historic towns of Verona and Mantova; Lake Garda tour by coach and bus; tour of Dolomites; Gardaland theme park; water parks; Venice, Padua or Florence
