The charming village of Limone was once the border between Austria and Italy and its historical lemon gardens thrive in the glorious climate. A quaint and colourful little village, Limone hugs the north-western shore of the lake, with narrow cobbled shopping streets leading on to an idyllic waterfront and two tiny picturesque harbours. Oleanders and Bougainvillaeas provide a blaze of colour throughout the summer. Limone has much to offer in the evenings, with a choice of delightful lakeside cafés and tavernas, some with live music. There are regular brass band concerts and even occasional spectacular firework displays.
