I amvery happy to think I am staying in one of the best places on the lake. I nearly changed to Sirmione through recommendation, but so pleased I didn't. Much too busy and also no nearby mountains. Limone is so much more dramatic and Sirmione more upmarket perhaps. It did have a very pretty harbour area with magnificent trees.
The day was super. I took the slow boat down the lake, calling at most of the lakeside villages on the Limone side. They are all very attractive, some with some very majestic hotels!
In the north the backdrop of mountains is really spectacular whereas further south things flatten out. As we left Limone early this morning there was some low cloud over the hills above this picturesque village of Malcesine
Very mystical!
It would be nice to see them clearly on the way back.
So, home now and the journey back was breathtakingly beautiful, with great light. Here a couple of shots plus the above photo now!
I think I prefer the mystical look, though both impressive. Here is the village of Malcevine but showing the very majestic castle
There is no doubt for me that I prefer the northern end of the lake with its awesome mountains, cliffs and colourful towns.

Great day, off for a dip.
