Limone s/G, Limone sul Garda

Thanks to its excellent climate, one of the mildest and healthiest on the lake, citrons and lemons, from where the village takes its name, have been grown here since time immemorable.
Today many lemongroves, built of stone with high pillars, have fallen into disuse but their unmistakable outline on the terraces are now part of the countryside.
With its many hotels and residences, Limone is famous not just for its climate, but is also studied by scientists because its inhabitants carry the “apoprotein A1 Milano”, a killer of cholesterol.
The village has a characteristic historic centre with old houses facing onto the water’s edge and the port. The 17th century Parish church and the medieval church of San Pietro which stands in an olive grove should both be seen.
