Deeper Into Limone Piemonte
Unusual war cemetery with rows of Commonwealth and German graves from WWII. Well-kept grounds with mountain backdrop. Quiet, reflective place.
🕐 Daily 07:00-19:00
💡 Look for the Polish soldier grave near the rear wall — locals still leave flowers on it.
17th-century stone sanctuary on a hillside just above town. Plain baroque interior with good frescoes. Short steep walk from the main square via cobbled lanes.
🕐 Daily 08:00-12:00, 14:30-19:00
💡 Evening light through the south-facing windows makes the altar glow. Worth a detour just after 17:00 in summer.
Chalet Sanremo
Birreria d'la Puntsa
Final Favourites & Departure
Fenced nature area up the valley just outside town where you can spot chamois, ibex, and marmots in a semi-wild setting. Flat gravel path suitable for pushchair
💡 Go at 9:00 or 16:30 when keepers bring hay — animals are most visible then. Bring binoculars.
Grogia
Pizzeria La Giara
Getting Around Limone Piemonte
Book through Limone's local taxi co-op (Cooperativa Taxi Limone) for fixed rates — cheaper than airport rank taxis. They'll meet you at arrivals with your name on a board.
Bus line 'Sadem' runs direct to Porta Nuova — buy return ticket at airport newsagent for €1 discount. Doors close at set departure time; be early.
It's a flat 10-minute walk uphill to the B&B — if you have heavy ski gear, ring ahead. The town has no Uber; this is the only reliable local taxi.
Buy tickets on the Trenitalia app before boarding to avoid queue at station machines — the Limone station has no ticket office after 14:00. Sit on the right side for views of the Maritime Alps.
