About this property

An old country house, surrounded by the greenery of an ancient garden and surrounded by the Soave vineyards.
A place of charm, enchantment and mystery, which is revealed little by little.
An oasis of tranquility in the frame of the Veronese hills, the ideal starting point to discover an area rich in history, culture, good food and of course excellent wine.

"The rose and the lion" is hidden by a high wall and protected by an iron gate, on the edge of the village of Colognola ai Colli, but, as soon as the old gate opens creaking, you immediately begin to glimpse a lush, romantic garden, where trees, columns and flowers mix, and two houses are immersed in it, the one in which the owners live and the one reserved for their guests.

This was one of the best holidays we have ever had. We had great communication before we arrived, such a lovely welcome and the villa and gardens are fabulous. We loved every minute of staying there. It was a real oasis of tranquility and calm. We all enjoyed the house, garden and pool so much. Valeria and Maura were so welcoming, helpful and friendly.

A wonderful oasis

The property is amazing. Enormous and the website really doesn’t do justice to how super the house and garden are. Spotlessly clean. Peaceful and with a wonderful garden to explore. A delightful place to sit and while away an evening with a glass of wine. Furnished in true Italian style and very well equipped. Our hosts were just delightful and were a wealth of information about where to eat etc. They made us feel so so welcome and really couldn’t do enough to make our stay both memorable and magical. We really didn’t want to leave these lovely ladies.

Elegant and peaceful home in great location

Pictures don't do the home justice! There is a lot more space than advertised. Elegant furnishings and artwork. Marble floors throughout. Peaceful treed garden with pool. Although it was 30+ degrees Celsius outside, the temperature inside was very pleasant. Perfect location to see the sights from Verona to Venice. Wonderful hosts.

Ein Traum!!!

La Rosa et il Leone ist ein absoluter Traum. Hinter einer recht unscheinbaren Fassade eröffnet sich einem ein kleines Paradies. Die stilvolle großzügige Villa mit ihren wunderschönen Terazzo- und Marmorfussböden ist mit schönen Antiquitäten eingerichtet. Für die Gäste ist alles bis ins kleinste Detail liebevoll vorbereitet. Es fehlt an nichts. Der Park mit seinen Statuen, Säulen und den riesigen alten Bäumen versetzt einen in eine andere Zeit. Am Pool und an den zahlreichen schönen Schattenplätzen kann man die Seele baumeln lassen. Valeria, Maura und Alberto haben uns sehr herzlich empfangen und waren immer für Fragen da. Die Umgebung bietet zahlreiche Sehenswürdigkeiten und herrliche Wanderwege. Allerdings möchte man das kleine Paradies eigentlich nicht verlassen! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Stilvolles Ambiente

Unsere Erwartungen wurden voll erfüllt. Der Empfang bei unserer Ankunft war sehr herzlich und wir haben uns von Anfang an sehr wohlgefühlt. Dieses Haus hat Geschichte, die man spürt und ein erhabenes Ambiente. Wir haben in dem schönen schmiedeeisernen Bett sehr gut geschlafen. Bei unserem zweiwöchigen Aufenthalt war es extrem heiß, deshalb hatten wir nachts die beiden Fenster offen, was wegen der Fliegengitter gut möglich war. Außerdem gibt es einen Deckenventilator, der auch auf niedrigster Stufe lautlos für Kühlung sorgt. Unten im Erdgeschoß waren wegen der dicken Mauern die Temperaturen immer angenehm niedrig. Im großen Park konnten wir uns an verschiedenen Plätzen im natürlichen Schatten gut aufhalten. Auch die Sitzgarnitur am Pool ist gemütlich. Durch die schöne Lage sind viele Spaziergänge in der näheren Umgebung in den Weinbergen möglich. Im nahen Soave gibt es eine Burg zu besichtigen, neben den Ausflügen nach Verona, Vicenza, Bassano del Grappa und natürlich Venedig. Wir hatten einen schönen Urlaub, wurden von den Gastgebern sehr verwöhnt und kommen gerne wieder.

A little slice of private paradise

The photos do not do justice to how beautiful this place is, and we were surprised at just how much space there is, both inside and out, with extensive gardens, multiple outdoor seating areas, a swimming pool and sunbathing area, as well as a large wooded area and vineyard. Although sometimes booked as a guesthouse or B&B, when you book through here, you get the whole place to yourself. The house is full of history, beautiful furniture and interesting artifacts. There is also a full kitchen (not pictured) which is really well equipped and so it is easy to cook meals. There is at least one restaurant within walking distance, and there are many others within a very short drive, as well as supermarkets, pharmacies, takeaways, bakeries, etc. It is also very well positioned for day trips to Verona (30 mins drive) and Lake Garda (Sirmione is less than an hour away). The welcome we received was incredible – the house is owned by three sisters, two of whom live in the houses next door, and are extremely friendly, but also give you your privacy. They facilitated both a very late arrival (almost midnight) and a late checkout. Nothing was too much trouble, and the hosts would occasionally call over for a quick chat and make sure we were enjoying the stay and had everything we needed. Alberto, who manages the bookings, was also very responsive to messages and was always willing to help. It is worth being aware that mosquitos can be a bit of an issue – this is true for all of this part of Italy, not just here, so don’t let it put you off, but it is good to be well prepared. We were not, and received a lot of bites during the first couple of days. However, with good preparation, we reduced it to a minimal problem. Our hosts very kindly provided us with repellent (DEET), burners, candles, sprays and plugins, with more available from the local shop and pharmacy. I would advise you to bring some antihistamines and other bite treatments for when you get bitten, as we found these things to be much more expensive to buy locally than they are in the UK. Also, be aware that tiger mosquitos are active all day, not just at dusk, so you need to take precautions all day. I would recommend keeping the upstairs windows closed, as there are no mosquito screens on these. However, this is only one very minor downside, to a wonderful place, so don’t let it put you off. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I can not recommend La Rose e Il Leone highly enough!
