Overview

 
Set on a gentle slope just above Lake Garda, Leonardo da Vinci combines big-sky water views with a laid-back, All Inclusive set‑up that keeps families and relaxed couples happily occupied. Three outdoor pools, including a waterslide and separate kids’ splash area, an indoor pool for cooler days, and a private section of lakeside beach mean you’re never far from the water. A handy self-service drinks and ice cream corner, kids’ clubs and a dinky spa and gym round off an easygoing base for exploring Limone and the northern shores of Italy’s most famous lake.

Think terracotta-roofed blocks tumbling towards the lake, trimmed with pines and olive trees, and a sweep of mountains reflected in the water: Leonardo da Vinci feels very Lake Garda. The hotel sprawls across six low-rise buildings with lawns, pools and play areas stepping down to a private section of lakeside beach. Simple, comfortable rooms open out to balconies or terraces, many with a sideways peek to the water, while All Inclusive dining and a choice of relaxed bars keep holiday logistics blissfully straightforward. For couples and families seeking Lake Garda’s beauty without the faff, Leonardo da Vinci delivers that easy Italian-lakeside charm: hillside lake views, All Inclusive dining and plenty of pools and play space for younger travellers. It’s around 3 hours from Verona Airport by road, with a complimentary hotel shuttle running to Limone’s characterful harbour and old town. See more Italy holidays.

Map & location


Limone, Lake Garda, Italy

Leonardo da Vinci occupies a terraced hillside setting on the outskirts of Limone, one of Lake Garda’s prettiest northern villages. Lemon groves, olive trees and old fishermen’s houses give the area an authentically Mediterranean feel, while the hotel’s elevated position means wide views across the lake to the dramatic cliffs opposite.

A short stroll (around 150m) leads you down to the hotel’s own private section of lakeside beach, while Limone’s compact centre, ferry harbour and lakeside promenade are easily reached using the complimentary hotel shuttle or on foot for keen walkers. From here, regular boats hop to other postcard towns such as Malcesine and Riva del Garda, making sightseeing around the lake effortless.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport around 3 hours from Verona Airport (VRN), depending on traffic and any resort drop‑offs around the lake.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Water lovers are spoilt for choice at Leonardo da Vinci. Outside, there are three freshwater pools, each with its own character: one features a waterslide and children’s section that’s a hit with families, another is slightly quieter with a generous sunbathing terrace, and there’s a dedicated shallow children’s pool just for splashing about. Sunbeds and parasols line the terraces, and pool towels are available with a refundable deposit.

An indoor heated pool provides a weather‑proof option in the shoulder seasons, so a dip is always on the cards. Down by the lake itself, the hotel manages a private section of pebbly‑sand beach, where you can stretch out on a lounger, take a refreshing swim in Lake Garda or simply soak up those iconic views.

Spa, sports & wellness


Off the sun terrace, the modest but pleasantly equipped wellness area includes a spa with sauna, Turkish bath and whirlpool for a soothing post‑hike or post‑sightseeing unwind (18+; set opening hours). There’s also a small gym with cardio equipment and free weights for guests keen to keep active between gelatos.

Down at the lake, the hotel can arrange simple watersports such as canoeing and kayaking (typically for ages 18+ and with a local charge), a relaxed way to experience the shoreline from the water.

Elsewhere around the resort you’ll find communal lounges, gardens, children’s play areas and practical amenities including a reception with currency exchange, luggage storage and a shuttle bus service into Limone centre.

Food & drink

The hotel’s All Inclusive concept keeps dining relaxed and good‑value. The main Leonardo da Vinci Buffet Restaurant serves a mix of Italian favourites and international dishes at breakfast, lunch and dinner, with show‑cooking stations and plenty of choice for younger eaters. Highchairs are available for little ones, and a casual but smart dress code generally applies in the evenings (no beachwear; long trousers for gentlemen is often requested).

You’ll find four different bars dotted around the property, including a laid‑back pool bar, a main coffee bar and snack point open long hours, plus a seasonal beach bar right by the lake for daytime drinks between swims. A self‑service zone means you can help yourself to selected soft drinks and ice cream during the day, ideal for family holidays. Opening times and inclusions can vary by season and board policy.

FAQs
Is Leonardo da Vinci right on Lake Garda?
The hotel is set just above the lake with landscaped grounds stepping down towards the water. Leonardo da Vinci has its own private section of lakeside beach about 150m from the main buildings, so you can be by the water in just a few minutes’ walk while still enjoying elevated views from much of the resort.
What is included in All Inclusive at Leonardo da Vinci?
The All Inclusive package typically includes buffet‑style breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main restaurant, snacks served at selected times between meals (for at least three hours per day), and a selection of local alcoholic and non‑alcoholic drinks available for a minimum of 12 hours daily. Some drinks are available from a self‑service area, while others are served at the bars. Exact times and brands can vary by season, so always refer to the information provided on arrival.
How family-friendly is Leonardo da Vinci?
Very. Families benefit from three outdoor pools including a waterslide and dedicated children’s pool, a separate indoor pool, kids’ clubs for 6–12 and 13–17 year‑olds in the main season, highchairs in the restaurant, a playground and spacious Standard Quadruple rooms. The self‑service ice cream and soft drinks point is an extra perk for younger guests.
Do the rooms at Leonardo da Vinci have air-conditioning?
Yes. Most rooms include seasonal air‑conditioning, which is generally in operation between mid‑June and mid‑September, subject to local weather and hotel policy. Outside these dates, the hotel may not run the system, so if you’re travelling early or late in the season, it’s worth packing accordingly.
How do I get from Leonardo da Vinci to Limone centre?
Limone resort centre and the ferry harbour are approximately 1.8km from the hotel. Guests can either walk (expect some inclines) or use the hotel’s complimentary shuttle bus, which usually runs several times a day at set times. Timetables can change seasonally, so check with reception for the current schedule.
Is there a dress code at Leonardo da Vinci’s restaurant?
The buffet restaurant is relaxed but tends to operate a smart‑casual dress code in the evening. Beachwear is not usually permitted at dinner and gentlemen may be asked to wear long trousers. Exact rules can vary slightly, but as a guide, think simple holiday smart‑casual.
Does Leonardo da Vinci have a spa or wellness area?
Yes. The hotel’s wellness area includes a small spa with sauna, Turkish bath and whirlpool, plus a gym with cardio equipment and free weights. Spa facilities are typically for guests aged 18 and over, with limited opening hours in the afternoon. Some services may incur an extra charge.
Is Wi-Fi available at the hotel?
Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available in the communal areas of Leonardo da Vinci, so you can stay connected, share photos of the lake and check opening times for nearby attractions. Coverage and speeds can vary in the rooms due to the hillside layout of the property.
