Advantages: Stunning scenery, glorious climate......... an almost perfect holiday Disadvantages: Rather touristy in places
I've long harboured a desire to visit Italy, and my dream finally came true this summer when we (my husband, 14 year old son and I) decided to spend our summer holiday in Limone on LakeGarda.
LakeGarda, Italy's largest lake, is in northern Italy, not far from the city of Verona. It is divided between three Italian regions - Lombardy, Trentino and the Veneto. Due to its stunning natural beauty and warm climate, the area is a major tourist destination, with many towns and villages scattered around its shore.
Limone, or Limone sul Garda, situated on LakeGarda's north-western shore, is centred around a village of narrow, winding streets, alleys and traditional stonewalled cottages.

Torri de Benaco is situated half way along the Eastern shores of LakeGarda. Like all the resorts around Garda it is reached by the main road that runs North / South along the lake. From the road there is little to see ...
I visted LakeGarda a couple of summers ago and must say it was one of the most people places I have ever visited. Lots of people do seem to complain about it being overly touristy but with scenery like this I can certainly see why. Although it is an extremely popular holiday destination and there are a few touristy gift shops about I still would not say that LakeGarda was too touristy.
When I visited I stayed in the largest resort of Riva delGarda a wonderful little town at the north of the lake. LakeGarda has plenty to do with lots of little cafes and restaurants. It is also in walking distance of the next resort.
Riva was a beautiful town with a pictureque square which was home to many forms of entertainment in the evening. Towards the end of the summer months the town is also home to a themed festival which was based upon ...
