A fascinating Medioeval Tower on the borders of Lake Garda

Our Home: Tower: Entrance and small sitting room. A charming winding staircase leads to the pretty double bedroom and en-suite bathroom on the first floor. The windows of the tower give a lovely view on the Lake and on the garden below. Continue up the winding staircase to the second twin bedroom and up again to the top of the Tower: enjoy the stunning view from this terrace: the Lake, Monte Baldo.
The Tower is equipped with air conditioning.
Connected to the Tower by a perfumed and lovely lemon garden is a dependence: here you will find a large and comfortable sitting room, with a living area and one sofa bed for two people. Next to the living room there is a large and fully equipped kitchen, plus a bathroom with a shower and a washing machine. Kitchen, living room and bathroom are all located on the ground floor.
The Garden: Our lovely romantic garden has a terrace with tables and chairs looking out to the Lake: from this position you can enjoy spectacular sunsets.

OUR HISTORY: The name Lazise has its origins in “Lacus”, which means “village by the Lake”.

This is a very ancient town: the area has been lived in since the iron era. Many remains of stilts have been found, and what has been found of the Roman times shows how Lazise, also blessed by its fortunate geographical position, had in fact become very important.

In Medieval Times it became so important, that a castle, walls, and moat were built.
During the XIII and XIV Lazise belonged to the Scaligeri – who completed the walls of the castle.
The Tower, opposite the Lake, has always had a great strategic importance.

Thanks to its privileged position, in recent times it was used as a watch tower, and also as a shooting lodge.


NEAR THE TOWER: Parks, Gardens, and Theme Parks
Villa dei Cedri, located in a 17th century Villa in the near village of Colà has Thermal waters, and swimming pools.

Giardino Sigurtà : is a beautiful Italian Garden 15 Km away (in Valeggio sul Mincio).

Parco Zoo- where you can enjoy a safari in the middle of African animals.

Theme Parks: Gardaland, Caneva World, and Movie Land (all 5 Km away).

We had the best time in Lazise. Beauftiful small town - very idyllic. House was just 2 min walk to all major restaurants, shops etc. The VRBO description is accurate. You sleep in one tower and then you walk through a lemon garden to the living quarters. In the sleeping tower you will have Wifi - in the living quarters not (however, you can use your phone as a hot spot). The house is very simple furnished. Anna - the owner - was very welcoming and responded very quickly to each inquiry we had. The views from the sleeping tower as well as from the front lawn are breathtaking. On Wednesdays there is a market in Lazise and you will not be able to get out of the driveway until 3:00 PM. You need to park on the public parking lot close to the castle (approx 17 Euros per night) if you need your car on Wednesday mornings. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay. "Gracie" for sharing your home with us!

Charming & comfortable tower with fantastic views
This was my second stay at Torri in Lazise. The property owner has made improvements over the years and has meticulously cared for the property. The setting is lovely and and its magically watching the sunset over the lake from the garden. The tower while not luxurious, it is charming and comfortable. The owners are extremely kind and accommodating.

Perfect location
This is a rustic place that is full of character. It is not plush but if luxury is what you are after, then go to a hotel or resort It's clean and comfortable with everything that you need and great views. Just 10 seconds walk to the lake edge and just a minute walk to the bars and restaurants. In the garden, you can hear a gentle hum from all the passers by during the day, but at night it's so quiet, all you can hear are the ducks. There is a little beach about a minute walk away and the harbour is just 5 minutes walk. Our only wish is that the rooftop terrace had some furniture, we would have spent some time there, instead, we spent most of our time in the garden which has both sunny and shady areas, chairs with a dining table and sun loungers. A really charming place to spend a week .

Location is fabulous, literally right next to Lake Garda, and super host!
The location is perfect, right next to Lake Garda (across the street) and town Centre and every Wed there is bazaar where clothes and food are sold. Anna, the host was very attentive to every details and made our stay very comfortable. The Medieval castle look added to the quaintness which we loved. Enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and highly recommended place to stay.

Unique! Highlight of my stay in Italy!
This place is so unique, it is literally a once in a lifetime stay! We were traveling as 2 couples. It is 2 separate buildings as described. Each of us stayed in a separate building. The place is extremely large and we only saw each other when we met for meals. The tower gave us an excellent view of the Lake. We most likely would not have known about Lazise if it wasn't for this home. Everything is as pictured. One block from the pedestrian area of shops, restaurants, bars! A block from the ferry stop! 2 blocks from the bus stops. Directly across the street from the lake. Saw some wonderful sunsets. We cooked out 2 nights and ate in the beautiful garden. We had trouble with the exterior lights but the owner was very quick to respond and fixed them for us! Only the tower and the garden gets internet. One morning we woke up to find this incredible market outside our gate! Thank you Anna!

Fab property - Standards rather low
We were delighted to realise, after spotting this amazing property on a previous trip to Lazise, that we could actually rent it. It is indeed a wonderful property. However the fittings need updating or a thorough clean. The linen is WELL worn and sadly didn't feel "fresh". Everything we touched didn't feel clean, apart from the glasses/crockery. Because we found the incredibly narrow stairs too much for us, but understandable that they are there, we decided to sleep on the sofa beds in the sitting room. They seriously need re-newing. We LOVE Lake Garda and are delighted we had a chance to stay in such a historic building, but for a little more care it could have been wonderful. PS We DIDN'T take our rubbish to the Communal bins, down the road, as instructed. We bagged it and left it all outside - at the back.

Great House / Spectacular Location
The house is rustic but comfortable. Two bedrooms (shared bathroom) are in the separate tower, with additional foldout beds (converted from lounges) in the main house with kitchen and additional bathroom. We were a family with 2 adults and 3 teenage children. The teenagers loved the tower bedrooms and we adults used the converted sofa bed in the main house. The location is absolutely beautiful .... a very pretty little town with plentiful local restaurants if you want to eat out and supermarkets close by if you want to buy produce to cook at home. You are close to the freeways if you want to travel further afield sightseeing. Also close to all the theme parks. Loved our stay in Lazise and would not hesitate to rebook this house. Thankyou for your hospitality Anna.

We enjoyed our Week in the Medioeval Tower very much. Everything was Fine and exactly like decribed in Vrbo/ Fewo. The Communication to the owner was very fast, friendly and Polite. It’s a lovely place direct to the lake Site and Lazise. The Limonata with the lemon trees is the Connection to the side Building. It‘s awesome. We come back one day. Thanks Anna for everything.

Toller Urlaub mit viel SEE
Super zentrale Lage, Seeblick vom Bett und der Terrasse aus, einmal über die Straße und schon saß man am See, Auto gemütlich im Hof geparkt, alles ordentlich und sauber, kein Mitschleppen von Handtüchern und Bettwäsche, freundlicher Kontakt zur Besitzerin und der Housekeeperin. Sehr zu empfehlen! Vor allem die Klimaanlage im Turm ist Gold wert, denn es gab jede Nacht Touristen, die durch lautes und betrunkenes Gegröhle ein schlafen mit offenem Fenster leider unmöglich gemacht haben. Einziger Wermutstropfen: Den Müll muss man a bisserl weit tragen, um ihn entsorgen zu können
