Hi, and welcome to the next video from
Our Lakes and Lederhosen tour
And our base on the lake section was
Limome-sul-Garda, on the beautiful Lake Garda

Lake Garda is in the north of Italy,
and Limome-sul-Garda is in the north-west of the lake
in the Brescia province
within the Lombardy region of Italy
Your nearest International Airport will be Verona
which is around 60 miles or 90 km
from Limome-sul-Garda,
But we drove, and this was our first view of Lake Garda
In a later video I’ll cover your options
for driving from the UK
as well as a lap around Lake Garda
it can be slow going at times
but at least you’ve got a wonderful view
And there are sections where
you feel like you’re in the movies.
Do you know what movie started
with the roads around Lake Garda?
We arrived safely at our accommodation,
the Casa Albergo Sorriso,
parked up the car
and checked out the view from the balcony of our room
There was a haze over the lake
but you have to admit this is a pretty impressive
Enough of the views let's go and discover the town
As you would expect there is the usual mix of gift shops
gelarias, bars & restaurants
Then there’s the beautiful little cobbled lanes
and quiet backstreets that lead you
down to the lake's edge
As we arrived at the lakes it was clear that the mainstay
of the town was now tourism
but that’s okay - That's why we were here
It was still possible to sit down
and admire the beauty of the lake free of charge
After taking in the view for a while
we decided to stroll on and found the marina
Although after driving over 500 miles
I decided we deserved refreshments
and could just watch the world go by
But after the briefest of pitstops
we decided to explore some more.
One thing we discovered, rather unsurprisingly,
was that this town was obsessed with lemons
So it only seems fitting that we should check out
the lemon grove museum
and you’re not getting its name in Italian
I don’t wish to offend anyone
Now it’s true it is a climb to get to the Museum,
but if a chunky 50 year old individual can make it
then I’m sure you can
and it does offer you some stunning
views over the town and lake.
The museum gives you the history
of lemon growing in the region
as well as being planted out
with a large variety of different citrus fruit,
including those beautiful Italian lemons
with the oh so thick skin
So, after a touch of history and culture
we returned to the town to explore a little more
We discover its old harbour
and a quainter end of to the town
It’s hard to think that until 1932 this town was
only accessible via steep mountain road and by water
So it's time for another break
and a chance to enjoy the local speciality
Limoncello Spritz
so similar to an Aperol Spritz
but you guessed it with a large hint of lemon
So while enjoying this for view
let’s talk about costs
These drinks were around €5 each
we enjoyed pasta and pizza, overlooking the lake
for around 8 to €10per head, plus a bottle of wine
we spent more on another meal,
but that was our choice.
So, all-in-all it doesn’t cost a fortune to enjoy this
so why not?
Oh, and the accommodation, just over €100 per night
with free parking, excellent WiFi and
including a really nice breakfast
