Arriving at Verona from Gatwick, the coach transfer took a very exhausting two and a half hours, as Limone was the last stop on the drop list ! We were driven up the Eastern side of the Lake, through Bardolino and Garda , which are all very pretty, and had we not been so tired from the days early start, this unexpected sight seeing excursion would have been welcome. Even being tired we appreciated the lovely views of the Lake and the interesting tunnels that we were driven through.
Finally arriving at the San Pietro, which is perched high up on the side of the mountains overlooking Limone, we were not disappointed with our room. The rooms are quite spacious and comfortable with good size balconies and smallish but functional bath/shower rooms. The bathrooms have a very Italian white and blue tile theme, with hairdryer supplied. The thing that hits you most is the view ! All balconies look out onto the Lake and the mountains (Monti Baldo ) beyond and the sheer beauty and grandure takes your breath away !
We stayed half board which I think was correct as the food was very good. Breakfast catered for every possible taste in buffet style, as did Dinner , and you could even choose a gourmet meal menu if you desired it. Long trousers are required in the Dining room in the evening, but the Air-con is good and I did not find it a problem. As if this food was not enough, the hotel served up coffee and cake every afternoon at four-o-clock by the pool for free !!
The Hotel has two good swimmimg pools, one for families and another on a higher tierre for quiet and relaxation. There were ample sun-beds and umberellas to go round and none of the usual problems of finding somewhere to settle for the day.
My wife and I liked to explore the village shops in Limone after dinner, and have a bottle of the local wine in one of the lake side bars, but the problem was that the Hotel's mini-bus stopped running at six-o-clock. This meant making the twenty minute walk down to the town and had we not been relatively fit, this would have been impossible due to the steepness of the hilside roads! An even bigger problem was getting back UP the steep hill later on in the evening, as there appeared to be only three taxis in the whole town of Limone and these were busy doing Airport runs on Friday, Sat and Sunday! We managed to get a taxi a few times , but I have never been anywhere that Is so badly in need of an efficient taxi service as the mountainous Limone.
The San Pietro was ninety percent German occupied (as they all drive there), as indeed was the whole town , but this was not a problem at all, even when they lost the Euro cup final.
It would just have been nice to hear more Italian spoken in Italy .
We went on a couple of boat excursions during our week long stay, the best being the day long trip down to thesouth of the lake and Sirmione, which was crowded but beautiful.
On the whole I would recommend this hotel and Limone as a holiday destination suited to adults and families with small kids, as the night life is not for the young.
The overall impression left with us was of a well run hotel making the most of its stunningly beautiful position over looking Lake Garda.

What a hotel !! It is lovely in every sense of the word. Me and my new wife stayed here as part of our honeymoon in July 2007, it was so good we are returning there this year to stay for a whole week. The first thing you notice when you arrive is the setting, it is fantastic. The hotel is right at the top of Limone set up in the hill with stunning views to the mountain on the lake-shore opposite. Half the time when we were sunbathing by the pool we spent the time just staring at the views, it's amazing. So HOT, coming from England where you rarely see the sun it was so nice to step out of the taxi to this dreamlike venue. All the rooms in the hotel have air-conditioning and a lake view, they all face the same way. The Hotel is surrounded in its grounds by lots of lovely plants and tree's. There a cactus garden with cacti larger than my wife and theres orange trees and large plants that all add to the exotic feel of the hotel. Our room was superb, large with a nice bathroom and a little balcony, on arrival you are presented with a free fruit basket, I should think so too considering it works out at £123 a night. The meals are also fantastic, the breakfast is a VERY large hot and cold buffet. I can'y list all the foods available but the choice is very substanial. In the afternoon at 3pm you can have free tea or coffee with free cake. Dinner is 12€ if memory serves and again is very substanial, massive choices of salad, pasta, chips, meats, eggs bread and a HUGE desert table. Very Very good if you like us enjoy eating. There are 2 outdoor pools, one is a family pool and the other higher up is the quiet pool, no children are allowed here and it is just bliss, have a look at the pictures available on-line and you'll see what I mean. With the baking sun, the amazing view and the lovely clear pool, what more could you need. Well, there is an indoor pool as well, with a jacuzzi and very strong showers, lovely. The staff at all times were very friendly, the reception staff speak english very well. There is a little bus down to Limon town every half hour for 4€ return and you can get taxi's back up if you want to eat out in the town. Limone itself is very nice, excellent water links to all the other little villages along the northern lake shore. Hire a motor boat and go swimming in the middle of the lake is quite an experience. What else can I say, ???? there is free after dinner entertainment every evening that is always of quality and the bar stays open as long as you need it to. If you choose to stay at this hotel you will have a marvellous time I guarantee it. We booked the hotel through the website gardayou, just type into google and then click limone once there. Please message me if you have any questions.

Fantastic views, very polite staff, big rooms, complementary goods,
food was not bad. try to go here earlier in the year. Limone is a long way around Lake Garda. We hired a car. Entertaining driving through very narrow tunnels. Overall a great Autumn break.

We visited this hotel with First Choice between the 8-15th August on our honeymoon. ( I am a Travel Agent which means I'm mega fussy when it comes to my holidays!)

We chose this hotel from previous reviews on Trip Adviser and also from recommendations from a few of my customers.

The Hotel is in a beautiful location at the top of the resort which means the views are beautiful. As previous reviews have stated it is about a 10 minute walk to the resort centre downhill. We used to get a taxi back up from the taxi rank on the lakefront as the mini bus doesnt run in the evening. The taxi cost 7 euros. It was a long walk back up a very steep hill but we did do it a few evenings when we felt energetic!

Hotel is great, rooms more than adequate and kept very clean. Hotel was busy when we were there, not many kids which was a benefit. Entertainment was very low key but it's not the sort of holiday where you are out partying all hours!

We were on Half Board but ate out most nights, it was nothing to do with the quality of food, just that we like eating out when we are on holiday and trying different restaurants. The food was very cheap in the local restaurants, average was around 10 euros per head for the main course and food was fantastic. You are after all in Italy so have to try the fab cuisine!! There is so many restaurants in Limone, one of our favourite was on the corner of the main road before you went down the hill to the lakefront. Big seating area outside and food was amazing! Can't remember the name of it but would highly recommend.

The day trip to Verona is recommended, booked that through the First Choice rep and it is an english speaking excursion which is a bonus. Limone is full of German tourists so if you book through some independant company you could end up on an excursion that is part German part English speaking.

Limone is a gorgeous resort, very romantic with beautiful cobbled streets, plenty of restaurants and lovely bars on the lakefront.

Have a fantastic time, you wont be disappointed!
