The hotel location is perfect and Limone is really one of the nicest cities in the lake surroundings. The studio in which we have stayed was quite old, however well conserved. Everything was functional and there was a small but very helpful kitchen, fully furnished with pans, plates, cups, cutlery and other things. We liked it very much. The hotel staff was very attentive and helped us whenever we needed. I recommend this hotel especially to families. We went with two small kids, one 6 and the other 4 years old.

Amazing views! Difficult parking.
Absolutely breathtaking views of the lake and looking down at Limone. Amazing views from all the decks and lounge areas. Grounds and views were all stunning. Lovely landscaping. Also waterfalls. Very helpful multi-lingual staff. Excellent service at bars and dining areas. Upon check-in I was not expecting to be asked for a 150€ cash cleaning deposit (which was promptly returned to me at the end of my stay). They also wanted the 12€ tax fee paid in cash too. It would have been nice to know about these fees ahead of time. Nice breakfast, decent dinner buffet, upstairs bar and pizza shop open all day. Also convenient snack/souvenir shop. Room furnishings a bit out-dated, but clean and in good condition. Shuttle runs on schedule to Limone, and there's also a nice scenic pedestrian walkway to town. Parking was very difficult. The drive winds up a mountain, and cars park on either side, so that a car can barely pass between. No assigned parking, and at one point it was completely full. Had to squeeze into an open spot on the grass that backed up to a cliff. If not for the parking, my stay would've been perfect.

-Free parking (some of places along quite steep road), but it seemed enough (hotel is quite large) - we were not asked to pay any 'additional.fees' listed in description- everything was included already - no wifi in rooms- only on restaurant - lovely wellness area! - our room was studio- the beds were on upper floor where air conditioning would not reach- in summer it must be boiling there (we happened to have rainy weather so it turned out ok) - for the price- excellent stay!!

Value for money
We loved this place and had spectacular lake views from our balcony. We were lucky and got an apartment style room on 2 floors (bedroom upstairs). The AC was good but could have done with another unit upstairs as it got quite hot. Check in was quick and easy, there’s a little shop near reception that sells the essentials (bottles of prosecco for €9!!). Shuttle bus from hotel to centre of Limone was €1 and was an 8 seater taxi so sometimes had to wait for it to return if it was full already. Breakfast buffet was good, lots of choice but not that much for vegetarians. I’d definitely return here and recommend to anyone. Excellent value for money.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL!!!
This hotel is literally a trap!!! There's a tunnel, that you need to through on the way from city to hotel, so if you'd like to walk anywhere from hotel, you CAN NOT, you trapped in there. You need to use a car or take a shuttle and pay money. It's VERY old and outdated! Needs renovation badly! Smells like chlorine! Air conditioner switched off!!! Had problems inside the room breathing. You can not open balcony or window, bc balconies are shared with units next to you!!! No privacy at all!!! Shower doesn't drain water! Somebody did a good job with pictures for the hotel, it does not look like that in the reality! No internet in the rooms, you have to pay for the one in lobby, but it has horrible connection. We booked 4 nights, stayed 2!!! They didn't return money! Have to dispute charges now!!! The only good thing are incredible views and friendly stuff!!! I'm very well traveled and this is THE WORST stay as I can recall!!!

Great hotel, in a great location!
We stayed here for 5 nights, very picturesque. Definitely worth staying north part of the lake. We rented a car to explore the towns around the lake which I would recommend. The parking can be a nightmare if you arrive back at the hotel late, which we did some nights but we managed to squeeze in somewhere. The hotel itself was great, rooms a little dated but a modern room wouldn't look right. The first night we were given a room which looked into the back of the pizziaria which wasn't what we had booked as all rooms were supposed to have lake views but the hotel staff were amazing and so helpful. They were full on the first night but they said come and check the following morning, which we did and they changed our room. We had a great view for the final 4 nights. We had breakfast included, plenty of food to choose from. Pool area small but nice, and towels are down early so be prepared if you want a day by the pool. The hotel also offer a shuttle bus to and from the town centre for €1 each in day and €2 in the evening. Overall great hotel and if you are planning to come to Lake Garda I would recommend here.

Wonderful view but basic hotel.
The view from the hotel is unbeatable. It really is special. The pool area is also great, and the town of Limone is a short drive away so the location is perfect. Unfortunately the rooms are a little dated and the aircon is practically non-existent. The breakfast also leaves much to be desired and wifi can only be accessed in one specific area - if you pay for it. My partner and I are in our 20s so these things didn't particularly bother us, but if you're looking for comfort or anything more than basic then another hotel would probably be better suited to you.

Upmarket holiday camp
Beautiful location overlooking Limone de Garda. Bus available at a small charge to take residents into the centre (worth doing as car park charges are 2.50€ per hour!) Room spotlessly clean and a/c very efficient. Pool very busy, pizzeria/bar excellent. Breakfast very average eurofare of spam, cheese, hard boiled eggs etc, but the staff were very friendly and helpful. Just a little too much like an upmarket holiday camp for our taste.

Dated hotel, high up a hill...
Pros-cheap, nice pizzeria, excellent views, reasonably attentive staff, friendly, reasonable bus service Cons-dinner at hotel awful, bed lumpy, hard. After 7 nights I hadn't had one decent nights sleep, hotel is up a difficult hill if your not fit you certainly aren't walking it.

Adequate hotel-nothing special other than the view
Hotel has a good location with outstanding views. It is a very large hotel, although spread out so one does not feel how big it actually is. The hotel's facilities, especially the swimming pool area are not large enough to accommodate the volume of guests. Thankfully, the lake is not very far away and was nicer to swim in than the pool. Strange bath towels are provided and no towels for swimming. The hotel décor is very dated and it would be good if the staff smiled more. Overall the hotel was perfectly adequate for our needs, but I would prefer a smaller more personal hotel.

Overall, good hotel with amazing views.
Family (45,44,18,17) On arrival at La Limonaia hotel, reception is upstairs and badly signed which is confusing. The Staff were friendly and helpful except for the misery in the hotel shop which was annoyingly closed for most of the day. It is a large, spread out hotel where you will need to walk up steps, across bridges etc to get to your rooms if not in the main block. The rooms are basic but are cleaned every day with new towels provided. Our room had two single beds and a fold out camp bed which was very uncomfortable. However, the view from the balcony more than made up for it. ( Breathtaking, not all rooms have a good view. ) The breakfast was included and between 7:30/9:30 which was a typical continental of sliced salami, cheese and meats, all types of egg, frankfurter sausage and mountains of cake for the German guests which are about 85% of the total staying. The dining rooms and the pizzeria restaurant are fine with fantastic views over the lake from its elevated position over the town which is about 15-20 minutes walk away when you get down the long, steep hotel drive which is a killer when you are walking up later, my wife usually stopped twice on the way up for a rest. There is a minibus service to the town and back for 1 euro each way if you are lazy or unable to walk far. There is wi-fi available for a daily fee but only near reception and the dining room, kids used there phone providers, Cheaper. No printers or pc's available for boarding passes. Can in town.

Paper thin walls
The setting is beautiful (perched on a steep hill overlooking Lake Garda and the town) but the walls were so thin, you could literally hear talking in the next room. When we were there, about the only other guests were busload after busload of German senior citizens on tours. Parking is a problem also, especially considering most guests arrived on buses and it was still tight.

Very dissapointing
Extremely poor service by the staff on site. They were totally dissinterested in our experience of the hotel. The sink had no plus, the bidday was blocked, we had 1 sachet of soap and one of shampoo for the week. In spite of booking a room with a bath and a double bed, I received a room with 3 single beds and a shower. The room was not cleaned for 3 days, but the beds were made. When the ceiling started leaking due to the rain and I asked to change rooms, I had to move my cases myself because the manager did not want to upset the porter by asking him to do it!

Beautiful Lake
Before traveling to Italy on our honeymoon we read countless reviews and vowed to share what we learned with others. The main perk of this hotel was the amazing view from the room. The hotel is set up higher than other hotels and set into the mountain side. This allows 95% of the hotel rooms on the property to have beautiful views. The wall of the hotel room is all glass to allow you to see the lake from in the room in addition to from your shared balcony. The room itself was ok. Clean and had A/C but nothing special. The downside of the hotel is that although it is only about a 15-20 min walk from downtown Limone it is probally the furthest hotel in the city and a lot of uphill walking to return to your room. You walk up probally about 3-4 hills before the steep and I meen steep climb up the driveway to the hotel itself. We had read other reviews about this climb and thought it was probally ment to warn the elderly and out of shape. We are 2 29yr old in good shape and let me tell you that this hill is no joke. Especially with luggage!! The north end of the lake is absoutly breathtaking and one of our favorite stops on our trip.

Lots of character but has it's niggles
This hotel is great value and after all I never go away planning on spending much time in the hotel so it's fairly easy to forgive the things that may be less than perfect. The Hotel is on a STEEP hill so not ideal for the less mobile. On first impressions it is quite quaint in that it is set into the hill side and has a certain charm what with the timber frame and climbing flora. However the biggest grumble I had was that the timber framing makes for noisy floor boards when you are trying to sleep. Similar noise issues when people are in the shower/ flushing the loo. This said I think if you were to request a top floor room it would be no noisier than any other hotel. On the plus the staff are very helpful one member went above and beyond when we had difficulties with our Hire Car. The interior decor is a little on the dated side but i'm not sure if that is a fashion/cultural difference, however the views from the Hotel and the location more than make up for this.

Hotel with more than 200 rooms in an conglomeration with an amazing view. But now the other side of the coin: There ist not enough staff, and it´s not very service oriented. The breakfast is a poor quality. netter go outside in a restaurant.

Sehr schöne Aussicht, aber schlechtes Hotel
Leider ein in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel. Eigentlich ein gutes Konzept, jedoch müsste natürlich auch in die Zimmer investiert werden. Ich hatte economy gebucht, für zwei Nächte, bekommen habe ich ein Kellerzimmer, welches muffig war und der einzige Ausblick war auf das Dach des Nachbarhauses. Nach Rücksprache mit der Rezeption, bekamen wir ein anderes Zimmer, natürlich mit Aufpreis von 20€ die Nacht. Finde ich schon frech, für ein Hotel in der Preislage. Das neue Zimmer auch sehr in die Jahre gekommen, alte Holzmöbel, leider auch Haare im Waschbecken, Schimmel im Bad und Dreck auf dem Balkon, Frühstück mit dreckigen Gläser. Leider macht die Aussicht nur wenig wett.... länger wie zwei Tage würde ich dort nicht bleiben.

Gammelt og slidt budget hotel med flot udsigt
Meget slidt og gammelt hotel beliggende med smuk udsigt på bjerget. Kedelig morgenmads buffet. Samlebånds agtig. God udsigt fra restaurant og bar. Pool med fin udsigt over søen og bjerge. Havde fået enkelt senge selvom bestilt dobbelt seng. Alle klinker på gulvene i værelset lå løst og man kunne kun åbne døren til værelset halvt fordi gulvet var lavet for højt.
