Holiday apartment in Colà – thermal baths, moraine hills and history

Colà is situated on moraine hills and in a green landscape shaped by vineyards. Characteristic pebble walls define the landscape of the moraine hills and naturally separate rural estates and large villas from one another. This creates a townscape in which the natural environment and historic architecture appeal to different interests. During your stay in a holiday apartment in Colà, you can base your choice of location on this combination of landscape, culture and thermal experiences.

A thermal world among plants and old trees

The Parco Termale del Garda di Villa dei Cedri is a 13-hectare nature spa among rare plants and centuries-old trees. The Centro Benessere at Villa dei Cedri includes Finnish saunas and bio-saunas, a Turkish bath, a salt room, a thermal pool, as well as bookable treatments and massages. Colà therefore places a clear emphasis on days when warmth, water and relaxation are the focus. At the same time, churches, villas and farmhouses complement the thermal offerings with cultural themes.

No reservation is required to access the outdoor thermal lake of the Parco Termale del Garda di Villa dei Cedri. This destination can also be reached by ATV bus 163 from Verona Porta Nuova railway station and by bus 164 from Lazise. If, when choosing your holiday apartment in Colà, you place particular importance on combining thermal facilities with public transport access, these two bus connections provide a specific point of reference.

Churches, festivals and a history carved in stone

The Church of San Giorgio Martire was built between 1757 and 1762 based on the model of an earlier Santa Maria chapel and contains five altars. The Church of Madonna della Neve stands on the site of Colà’s first chapel. Both religious buildings provide different historical focal points for a cultural exploration, without reducing the town to a single structure.

Villa Moscardo dates from the 15th century; an inscription on its façade commemorates Emperor Charles V’s visit on 21 April 1530. Corte Boaria da Sacco dates from the 16th century. Its oldest section comprises a residential building and a stable with a hayloft. Towards the end of the 19th century, Countess Eleonora da Sacco completed the corte with an enclosing wall and arcades. Villa Da Sacco stands on elevated ground near the parish church, on the site of early medieval fortifications. Villa dei Cedri is an elegant 18th-century residence.

If you are travelling with several generations or with different preferences, you can weigh these focal points separately and choose your holiday apartment in Colà accordingly. Religious architecture, historic courtyards and residences, vineyard landscapes, thermal baths and festival culture offer various ways to shape the focus of your stay.

A distinctive cultural highlight is the Antica sagra della Madonna della Neve. It takes place in Colà at the old parish church of Madonna della Neve over four days, including 5 August. The event adds a specific cultural reference to the architectural history for your travel planning.
