Profile |
With an excellent access to the romantic city of Verona, in northern Italy, as well as the mountains near Garda Lake, Residence La Mason was designed to please both guests on holidays and business trips. It is ideal for lovers of life outdoors but also for those interested in history, for it is surrounded by a natural environment and the construction dates as far back as the 14th century. |
A document in 1693 indicated that the property that nowadays hosts the guest house used to be the only construction in La Mason, a relevant spot in the way to the Holy Land back in the Middle Ages. It stood on top of a hill, as it does now, attrached to a church and surrounded by city walls. |
The house was inhabited by the knight templars, who named it "Mason of the Temple", but in 1319, after this templars order was suppressed, the St John`s Hospitallers came to live in it. In the 16th century the property was abandoned, and in 1848 the Austrian invasion destroyed many of its historic testimonies. More than a century later, the property was turned into a residence of confortable self catering apartments, even though the historic features were preserved. |
