Hotel Locanda Ruscello Garnì

The hotel gives you a great value for the money, and is kept in a very good condition, clean. Some of the staff, especially that young lady coming from Arco (don't know her name), are super helpful and speak excellent English and can give you plenty of suggestions around Garda... even if you ask for experiences that are not typically tourist :) The location is excellent, quiet and yet short walk to the center of Limone and also to the walkway alongside Garda Lake or many hiking trails. Parking and access road are narrower, but that's nothing new around Garda. With a long and wide limousine you might need someone to help you park on certain spots (because even those 20 centimeters you'd leave using camera and parking assistant are too much). The breakfast was good, nothing to complain about.

Limone is strikingly beautiful, but it's a tourist trap too — we've been visiting Garda for decades, multiple times a year, always avoiding Limone because of its "tourist trap image", and this year we've said "let's try it, it can't be that bad". It is. The city almost lacks any locals, is full of not nicely dressed and not nicely behaving tourists, has many stores for tourists, the restaurants and gelaterias are inherently bad (despite their ratings being i.e. 4.5 on Google... it's because majority of the guests don't have any taste or come from countries without culinary tradition). There are some great restaurants, but just for the elite — many of those that are within the normal Italian price range (dinner for two for less than 50 euros) are tragic. And not even the most expensive gelateria, next to the old port, is worth the money. If you care about quality and you are sensitive to poor service and behavior of other guests, the best is to enjoy the setting of the city and the beauty of the nature that surrounds it, but once you want to eat or go for a café, go somewhere else.
