Fresh and delicious - We took a tour of the lemon grove which was informative and interesting. Then we sampled the lemon products which were delicious. We stayed for dinner and had an amazing meal. Fresh shrimp cooked at our table, fresh sea bass which was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, somewhat relaxing in the middle of the busy town. Highly recommend!

Fascinating visit - Really fascinating visit as I had not realised growing lemons was so interesting. We finished with a lovely tasting of a selection of lemon products sitting amongst the trees. The lemon marmalade was stunning

Loved La Limonaia-Sorrento - Went on the La Limonaia Tour of the gardens. Learned a lot about the cultivation of lemons. Did you know they can do this on an orange tree? Had more than just lemons & oranges - many herbs, vegetables & olive trees. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about her subject. Was served samples of the gardens best products at the end of the tour in the charming restaurant. Stayed for dinner after our tour. Wonderful atmosphere after a long day of touring. Food was excellent & limoncello divine.

A Must See Serene Experience! - I loved to agricultural lessons on how the lemons were grown and taken care of in order to meet regulations. I had no idea how much effort they go through to make sure they have high quality lemons! A close second would have to be the tasting that followed the tour! The limoncello and the marmalade were amazing! Since I’m vegan I wasn’t able to try all of the food, it was still delicious for what I could try! Overall everyone working was super helpful (we even got a little lost trying to find the entrance) and friendly! Overall the grove was beautiful and had many opportunities for great photos and a shop to buy some of the food and drink you tried while there!

Not worth the time or money - This was very underwhelming. We did the lemon tour with lunch included, and it was not at all worth what we paid. The tour took 20-25 minutes, and I wouldn't even really call it a tour. It was a quick walk through the lemon grove with some basic facts and videos about lemons and grafting. I could've gotten the same information from Google, and there wasn't anything that exciting to look at. Lunch also was not worth it. We didn't particularly like the food and found the fact that every single item had lemons in it (including the water) to be very overwhelming and needed something else to cleanse our palates. Save the $60.

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT - DO NOT schedule a cooking class with this place!! We made tiramisu, eggplant parm and gnocchi. Not a single lemon dish the whole experience, who plans a cooking class in a lemon grove and doesn’t plan a lemon dish There is a place next to this place called The Lemon Farm and I wish we had gone there instead. We stopped in to check it out and the people were lovely and we saw couples eating pasta out of hollowed out lemons the size of a small bowl. Looked amazing and then we go to this place and get mediocre gnocchi in tomato sauce! Huge waste of money!!
