Colà: Thermal Park, Vineyards and Historic Sites

Colà combines a green landscape shaped by vineyards with morainic hills, historic religious buildings and a strong focus on wellness.

Wellness around the Parco Termale

The Parco Termale del Garda di Villa dei Cedri is a 13-hectare nature spa surrounded by rare plants and centuries-old trees. The wellness centre includes Finnish saunas and bio-saunas, a Turkish bath, a salt room and a thermal pool. The range of services is complemented by bookable treatments and massages. No reservation is required to access the outdoor thermal lake. This means the visit can be planned as a standalone wellness highlight without overlooking the area's other attractions.

Travel to this destination by public transport is also documented: the Parco Termale del Garda di Villa dei Cedri can be reached by ATV bus 163 from Verona Porta Nuova railway station and by bus 164 from Lazise. This gives you two named starting points to consider when choosing your base: Verona Porta Nuova and Lazise.

Morainic Hills, Vineyards and Pebble Walls

The landscape of Colà is defined by morainic hills and vineyards. Characteristic pebble walls shape this hilly landscape and naturally separate rural properties and large villas. The walls are therefore not merely an isolated historical detail, but a visible feature of the local surroundings. Those who look for a distinctive landscape and cultural traces in the townscape when choosing accommodation will find a tangible connection here between the natural environment and settlement history.

Religious Buildings and Historic Estates

The Church of San Giorgio Martire was built between 1757 and 1762, modelled on an earlier Santa Maria chapel, and contains five altars. The Church of Madonna della Neve stands on the site of Colà's first chapel. The Antica sagra della Madonna della Neve takes place at this former parish church over four days, including 5 August. Architectural history and a documented festival therefore come together at the same religious landmark, without reducing the town to a single theme.

The historic traces also include the 15th-century Villa Moscardo. 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 complex with an enclosing wall and covered walkways. Villa Da Sacco stands on elevated ground near the parish church, on the site of early medieval fortifications. Villa dei Cedri is finally an elegant 18th-century residence.
