Limonaia la Malora — Attraction in Comunità Montana Parco Alto Garda bresciano

Our visit to Limonaia “La Malora” was a truly unique and memorable experience. Located in the picturesque town of Gargnano on the western shore of Lake Garda, this lemon garden is a rare gem. Unlike many neighboring properties that are no longer in use or have been converted for residential purposes, “La Malora” retains its original function, thanks to the dedication and passion of its owner, Giuseppe Gandossi, and his son, Fabio.

The history of this 16th-century estate is palpable, and walking through the restored lemon groves is like stepping back in time. The structure of the garden is unlike anything else in the area, and it’s amazing to see how carefully it has been maintained and brought back to life.

Giuseppe and Fabio’s love for the land is evident in every detail, and they were incredibly welcoming, sharing the fascinating history of the estate and the traditional techniques they use to grow lemons. You can feel their pride and passion for preserving this historic site and keeping it productive.

If you are visiting Lake Garda, Limonaia “La Malora” is an absolute must-see. It’s not just a lemon farm – it’s a living piece of history, and the experience of visiting this beautifully restored estate is truly...

Beautiful little Limonaia, placed close to Gargnano. There's a little map in english, italian and german which guides you through the Limonaia with explanations and the rooms are filled with equipment for the work in a Limonaia. So lovely and detailed. At the end, there's Fabio waiting for you with a little refreshment of lemon water and all the products they make in the Limonaia with the lemons and other fruits like jam, Limoncello liquor and sirup. We loved it there very much! We will come again for the high quality products! And maybe for helping Fabio and his wife to maintain and keep this wonderful...

If the door's not open, you can ring the bell and someone will let you in during the opening times.

You get a flyer with info about the limonaia right at the entrance (German, Italian and English) but the owner told us a lot about the place, too.

At the end of the tour a beautiful terrace awaits and you can try delicious Limoncino and other products.

I recommend it 100%! Learned a lot, beautiful to look at and the owners are so nice, you almost don't want to leave.

Costed only 5€.

If you're in Gargnano, definitely come visit! You won't...
