Limone sul Garda
Member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia
Hemmed in by rock walls at the northern end of Lake Garda's western shore, Limone was reachable only by water or mountain paths until the lakeside road opened in 1932. Its terraced lemon houses, with rows of white stone pillars, caught Goethe's eye as he sailed past in 1786. Today narrow stone lanes lead down to a lakefront promenade, and the Limonaia del Castèl has been restored for visitors.
