This place is incredible and I only wish we could have spent more time here. We ended up coming later in the evening, after dinner, to have either some desserts or limoncello as a digestif. This meant that the back groves were not open to us and we could not see any of the limoncello making. This was ok though because we were able to sit at tables amongst the lemon trees while we sipped on our drinks and ate our sorbets. The person working the counter was alone and slightly busy but we struck up a fun conversation with him (my husband is literally the most friendly person and he and the guy started talking nerd talk) and he came and found us in the grove later to give us a whole tray of samples. The alcohol here is super tasty and you can tell they put a lot of love into it. I bought three bottles and didn't take packing super seriously and lost one in my checked baggage. I almost cried but it was just the limoncello, not the mandarin or the loquat so it was ok. LOL! I wanted to buy it all but those three flavors were my faves, followed very closely by the licorice flavor.
Beautiful shop and grounds. Limoncello made on-site with sampling options. You are able to watch them make the limoncello in their kitchen and walk the grounds through the lemon trees. After sampling, we purchased the orangecello. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Make sure you stop by and give them a try. Enjoy.
Never expected a lemon and orange grove right on Corsica Italia in the heart of the city, but there it was! You need uo the steps and into a grove of trees and much needed shade and peace. Towards the back is a stand where you can try their organic limoncello and licorice liquor, both good, but I really loved the limoncello! Organically grown on this family run farm with no added sugars, it was pure and delightful. I've tried many limoncellos in Italy, the US and even homemade from my family way back when. This is my favorite! I bought a small bottle to stash in my suitcase to bring home. If you want bigger bottles or several, they will ship. Interesting side note. The lemons have two seasons. They are ripe for harvest in May and December. If you follow the garden to the side entrance and go left, there is an entry to their factory where they give free tours. And a gift shop where you can purchase pasta, candy, cookies and other treats in addition to the limoncello. And gelato! Of course I got the lemon and it was so refreshing on a hot day. When you are at the factory, walk out the door to the right and down the street for one of the best views by Lorelei Restaurant, part of Hotel Lorelei. You're welcome!
Quality and freshness you can taste, with the cutest lemon grove environment! We booked a tour of the lemon grove which was actually a lot of fun. Also, this would be a kid friendly activity in the shade. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and shared a lot of great information with us about lemons and their connection to the area. Near the end of the tour, we were able to sample several types of limoncello as well as some homemade marmalade YUM! A guy on our tour from NY stated he had been drinking this limoncello for years! The online ordering process is so easy and we are thinking about ordering some as well. We did purchase some limoncello to bring home, and during a head to head comparison, this brand wins every time!
Well, you can only guess what's grown in this garden. They have orange trees too. I have 27 photo shots, but I'll only post 26. Just kidding... There are two entrances, by the way. The backside along Corso Italia welcomes you through a peaceful walk through the groves. Along the path you'll encounter a picnic table area, or you'll meet super friendly, Nina. Don't refuse a taste of their limoncello. It's made on site! Their recipe doesn't taste like unnecessary ingredients were added, so it isn't syrupy at all. It has more of a juicy smoothness. I bought a duck-shaped bottle for a souvenir. The main entrance along Via Correale lets you enter another tasting area and their restaurant. They have a Gelateria inside, cool seating indoor and outdoor, and attendants that want to give you limoncello shots in the morning ;D Not far from this garden is a vista view of Mt. Vesuvius. Please check this place out when you're in Sorrento!
THE best limoncello in Italy!! A cute, welcoming little family owns this lemon grove/garden/shop- whom you most likely will meet if you pop in for a visit (along with their family dog that they will tell you is "the boss"). At the shop, you are able to see how the limoncello is made (little factory on site), as well as sample limoncello liquor, gelato, granita, or honey. You are also able to walk around the lemon garden, or make your way just down the street to walk around the even bigger lemon grove (neat experience if you've never been). We decided to buy 6 big bottles of limoncello and shot glasses to ship back to the US (one flat rate shipping fee), and they were VERY appreciative and thankful. They even went out of their way to all come meet and greet us (again), and give us extra shot glasses and plates to take back with us. It wasn't necessarily that they gave us "free" souvenirs, it was the gesture that really touched us. Great family, great business, great product.
While walking around Sorrento, I stumbled upon I Giardini di Catalo and decided to take a peak inside! On the premises, they grow their own lemon and oranges, which was pretty neat to see. I ended up buying a cone of their homemade sorbet, consisting of orange and lemon flavor. Great stop for a refreshing treat!
I absolutely loved everything about this place! Walking through the free lemon groves right in the middle of town was such a gorgeous, peaceful escape. It smells incredible, and the towering lemon trees create the perfect canopy to relax under. read more

This was a hole in the wall. Couldn't never guessed from the outside that there would be a beautiful lemon garden in the back. We got gelato which was so delicious. It was priced well. It's self-service but staff was nice. Highly recommend for a quick break in sorrento. read more
I was walking around with my significant other to pass time. We found this place and I'm glad we did. We walked inside and saw that there was Free Entrance to the Lemon Grove. We entered and it was beautiful from the beginning. We walked to the Lemon garden and it continued to be beautiful until the end. After that, we started to browse around to see what was for sale. The Gelateria section caught my eyes first. I got gelato in the 2,80€ cup and chose Limone for the flavor. There was a Limoncello Free Tasting offered, so I almost had to do that. It had a crisp and refreshing flavor to it. I loved it. I purchased a Limoncello cl 10 e bottle for 6,00€. I got a Magnete embossed Sorrento for 4,00€. It matched the vibe. We sat down at a table to relax. The gelato had a perfect temperature and it tasted fantastic. We took the Limoncello bottle with us and enjoyed it later. It was just as good as the Tasting. The Toilette was free to use, so that was great. It was clean. The service was great. I didn't have any issues. Overall, I had an amazing time. The views were beautiful and everything I got was reasonably priced. I would definitely go again. Date of visit: 25-03-2025 read more

I came here with family for gelato on June 28th, but recently came back for the gardens. The small was 2.5€ and was a decent-ish amount for that price. I got the melon and yogurt flavors, and while I mainly tried the yogurt one merely for the sake of trying it, I found it to be my favorite of the two. Both of the flavors were very good, better than I expected from a place that is not strictly a gelateria. As for the gardens themselves, they were less than I expected. Much of the gardens were blocked off, both when I went with family (hence why we only got gelato) and also when I returned yesterday, which seems consistent with some of the other reviews which I have read. The part that is open to walk through, albeit somewhat small, still pleases. The lemon-perfumed air is of course nothing short of amazing, and the garden had nice little sitting areas in the shade. Considering that it is free, one really cannot complain about how there is not much garden to actually walk through. read more
