01 · In a sentence

Relais Limonaia in Torri del Benaco, open AprilAugust.

Relais Limonaia occupies a restored 19th-century lemon house that once supplied citrus to Lake Garda's thriving agricultural trade.

The property has been thoughtfully converted into a luxury hotel that honors its heritage while offering contemporary amenities across its stone terraces and vintage structures.

Perched on the shores of Lake Garda near Torri del Benaco, this venue marries agricultural history with lakeside elegance.

Absolutely fantastic. The owner was very warm and welcoming, the rooms were impeccably clean, the live music and food amazing. I could write another paragraph or two about this place, but it still wouldn’t do it justice. Wholeheartedly recommended, will definitely return here.
