Al Limón Negro

Advantages: good food
Disadvantages: none

...I travel a lot around Italy for work, and I am in the lucky enough position to visit quite a few restaurants. Albergo Ristorante Al Sole is one of my favourites when in Bergamo. Below is the address. Via Mazzini, 54 - 24047 - Treviglio - (Bergamo) - Italy Tel. 0363/49161 The restaurant is run by the family Giussani. As a starter, I would recommend "insalata tiepida di polipo" or "ostriche e cappesante" or "antipasto misto di pesce della casa" (mixed fish starter of the house). For the first course, my favourites are "tagliolini all'astice" or "tagliatelle con polpa di granchio" (this is a kind of thin pasta with crabs". For the second course, ask for the fish of the day, which is really fresh. To finish everything, try "sorbetto al limone" or one othe hand made cakes, the one with blackberries is greaaaaaaaaaat!! The wine list... Read review

Advantages: Just busy enough and beautiful views of mountains opposite
Disadvantages: Limited ferry service

...I agree that Torre is a very pleasant resort indeed - possibly the nicest on Garda though Malcesine would give it a close run. The only downside is that it has a less frequent ferry service than many resorts (though this of course could account for its relative quietness!). The 11.15 to the north of the lake is useful and the cross lake vehicle ferry which runs every 35 mins is also good for getting to the western shore. use of these can give you a pleasant round trip visiting Limone and Maderno (though there is little at Maderno. The intersesting town of Salo is also accessible by bus from Maderno (this is a far better place to visit than Gardone Riviera). the bus service is as mentioned unpunctual and occasionally unreliable. We stayed in the Al Castello which is a very pleasant, if plain, 2* with views of the Castle from the 3rd... Read review

Advantages: Good weather in August, great food, lovely people, lots to see and do
Disadvantages: It was a bit TOO hot in August

...My family and I have been to many different European resorts now, but last year we decided we wanted to go for something away from the norm. After a great amount of debating (most of it revolved around whether or not we'd eat the country's food!)we chose to drive to the small resort of Limone, Lake Garda. After two hard days of driving along many tedious motorways, we finally made it to Limone. Limone is not the easiest resort to drive through - there are many narrow tunnels to fight your way through, and hotels are signposted immediately before you get to them. That said, we had a fantastic time and I hope that we will go back some day. We stayed in the 4* Hotel Leonardo da Vinci, which was at the southern end of Limone. I might as well plug the hotel whilst I'm here, cos it was the best holiday I've ever been on! The staff were... Read review
