Lazise vacation rentals

Enjoy an Italian feast for all five senses

Nestled into the southeastern shores of Lake Garda, the colorful village of Lazise is a feast for all senses. Enjoy Northern Italian cuisine at a lakefront restaurant in town, and let the smell of citrus trees waft over you as you stroll the cobbled streets. Look out across the lake at the Roman Ruins of the Sirmione peninsula, and feel the winds of Monte Baldo blow through your hair each morning. One thing is for sure: there's no wrong choice when you're considering your pick of Lazise vacation rentals.

Fun for all ages, interests, and tastebuds

If the local olive groves have piqued your interest (or you just love some EVOO), a visit to the Olive Oil Museum is a must. Enjoy learning how they make this Italian specialty, and have a taste for yourself. For the historians in your group, a tour of the Sirmione peninsula is a must; there you'll find the archaeological site of Grotte di Catullo, a former Roman villa and current archaeological museum. There are also two theme parks in Lazise that the kids will love -- the Caneva Aquapark water park, and the Gardaland amusement park.

Does "it's 5 o'clock somewhere' apply to aperitivo, too?

If you're not out on a boat exploring Lake Garda, it's likely you'll spend the majority of your time strolling through Lazise's stunningly picturesque old town. With its medieval walls and colorful main piazza overlooking a tiny harbor, enjoy aperitivo at any number of outdoor bars and watch the fishing boats knock together. You'll also find a slew of art galleries and shops, perfect for picking up souvenirs. Bonus points if you narrow your search for Lazise vacation rentals close to town, making it easy to walk back leisurely after you cap your day with a bottle of prosecco.

Lazise winds in your hair, Italian sun on your face

Lazise boasts a mild climate, somewhat unexpectedly given its northern location. The area experiences a daily wind phenomenon, usually in the morning, when winds with all kinds of different names mildly disturb the serenity. Aside from this, the best time to visit is from May through October, as the region quiets down during the wet, gray months of fall and winter. Come July and August, however, and you'll feel like you're sharing the lake with the rest of Europe. If you'd prefer to avoid peak season crowds and prices, look for Lazise vacation rentals in spring and early fall.
