Map & location
Limone, Lake Garda, Italy
Hotel San Pietro enjoys a peaceful perch above Limone, one of Lake Garda’s prettiest little towns. Once a fishing village, Limone still charms with lemon groves, narrow lanes and a small harbour that’s perfect for gelato-and-stroll evenings.
From the hotel’s terraces you’ll enjoy uninterrupted views across the lake to Monte Baldo and the dramatic eastern shore. The walk down to the lakeside takes you past olive trees and traditional houses; a local shuttle bus (payable) also runs to the resort centre for those who prefer to save their legs for exploring the surrounding cycling and hiking routes.
- Approx. transfer time from airport 3 hours (from Verona VRN, subject to traffic and lake road conditions).
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
For a relatively intimate hotel, San Pietro offers an impressive choice of pools. Outside, you’ll find two freshwater pools set among terraces and greenery:
• A main outdoor pool with separate children’s section and wide sun terraces, furnished with sunbeds and parasols.
• An adult-only outdoor pool, perfect when you want complete calm with just the sound of water and birdsong for company.
Indoors, a heated freshwater pool with integrated whirlpool gives you a weather-proof spot to swim or unwind, typically heated between early April and late September (dates can vary). Pool towels are provided against a refundable deposit, handy if you’re packing light.
The nearest pebble-and-shingle lakeside beach is around 1.5km away, where you can dip into the clear water, relax on the promenade or join lake cruises from Limone’s harbour.
Spa, sports & wellness
Active guests are well looked after here. There’s an air-conditioned gym equipped with cardio machines, free weights and a whirlpool area (typically for ages 18+), open throughout the main season. The surrounding roads and mountain paths make this a natural base for cyclists and walkers – bring your own bike or hire locally and head out along the famous lakeside route.
Evenings at Hotel San Pietro are usually low-key and atmospheric rather than high-energy. Expect live music on selected nights across the season, with more frequent entertainment from May to October and occasional performances in April.
Practical touches include a 24-hour reception, currency exchange, luggage storage, and a paid shuttle bus into Limone resort centre. Mobility scooter hire and other equipment can usually be arranged via reception (local charges apply).

Food & drink
Half Board at Hotel San Pietro means leisurely buffet breakfasts and relaxed dinners with a view. The main Vista restaurant handles breakfast, while Benacus offers buffet-style dinners with Italian and international favourites – expect generous salad bars, pasta, grilled meats and local desserts.
At lunch and on warm evenings, La Terrazza grill restaurant by the pool becomes the star, serving Italian classics and grilled dishes against a lake backdrop. A pool bar pours Italian wines, local beers, spritzes and soft drinks from late morning into the evening, so you’re never far from a refreshment in between swims and sightseeing.
A smart-casual dress code usually applies in the main restaurants, with long trousers requested for gentlemen at dinner. Reservations or supplements may apply at the à la carte grill depending on your board basis and the season – check the latest details on arrival. What All Inclusive typically includes.
