About Villa La Gardenia & Oleandra

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.

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.

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.

Things to do in Limone

The Verona Opera is definitely one for the bucket list! The season runs from mid-June to early-September and covers all the classics including Aida by Verdi or Turnadot by Puccini. Whichever performance you choose; you’ll have an incredible evening.

There are lots of little nooks to explore in Limone. The Church of Saint Rocco is a hidden gem and we love visiting the oil mill for some tastings. Why not visit Limonaia Del Castel to learn about the town’s history with lemon-centric history, or head to the free tourist museum to find out why Limone's residents live longer thanks to their genes. 

Sirmione, Lake Garda, Scaligero Castle

Staying in Limone you'll be in a great position for hopping from town to town in Lake Garda. You won't be far from Malcesine so we'd recommend hopping on a ferry and visiting the town for some shopping, lakeside strolls and to visit the famous Sacligero Castle. You can also head up Monte Baldo if you’re a fan of walking and great views! Riva's also easy to get to; it's the ideal spot if you're into your watersports, or head to Sirmione for the day, for another Scaligero Castle and some of the best gelato on the lake! You can pre-book our Tour of Lake Garda excursion to see even more of the lake during your stay.
