Fantastic accommodations (simple but beautiful), gorgeous views, scrumptious food (everything…read morehomemade), not touristy...and amazingly down-to-Earth, friendly hosts. We had a large suite on the second floor, with a huge deck overlooking the valley and vineyards. Absolute heaven. This is wine country, and the owners have their own vineyards that surround the house. For 6 Euro you can buy a bottle (or two or three...) The hosts are a family, 3 generations living there on the side of the mountain. The building itself was constructed only a counple of years ago, so everything is new, but semi-rustic. One evening we walked into Pedersano for pizza. On our way back the skies opened and it started pouring. Just at that moment, the host's father pulled up in his car and told us to jump in. He drove us back to the B&B. Apparently they had become worried about us and sent the grandfather out to fetch us. Wow. Finally, I shouldn't even need to state this explicitly...but my family is a bit non-traditional (gay parents, one of whom is Black, and two biracial kids). The hosts didn't even blink. They were totally warm and welcoming.

The hotel was nice. However, even with the windows open all night, the room did not cool off. When…read moreyou entered the hall, you could feel the cool breeze from the open windows. The shower was smaller than expected. They offer breakfast with various assortments of breads, pastries, and such. It is your typical European breakfast, but they do have things that Americans will eat. If the hotel is busy, you will want to get there early, as it does take them some time to refill some items, if they refill them at all. The pool was advertised as being open; however, it was not as it is outdoors. There is a restaurant and bar on-site, but double-check hours. A mall is right next door to this hotel, so even if you miss those two, there are options in the mall. There are also places across the street. If you are in the bigger rooms, finding your room will get tricky. The area around the hotel gets busy and loud due to the main road being at the front of the hotel, so if your room faces the front, be prepared for road noise in the mornings.

AC Hotel in Vicenza is a solid choice if you want your Bonvoy points. I was initially going to give…read more3 stars but figured I'd bump it up give the last few days. Check-in was effortless and the staff throughout were an absolute pleasure. The lobby is clean and has a nice sized lounge area. The room was nice but the bed had a lot to be desired. The pillows, too. King beds should have king pillows but stacking enough pillows up I made due. Also, as American living in Europe for just 7 months so far, I know that air conditioning is scarce in most places though I've found it available in hotels. Arriving right after Easter, the A/C in the rooms and the hotel wasn't turned on yet. I was provided a fan that seems like it's had better days. On my last 3 days, the A/C was switched on and sleeping was so much better! Breakfast was included but was nothing to celebrate. Fruits, cereals, yogurt, and sliced meats and cheeses. It's free so I'm grateful but you won't be satiated. Lastly, my trip was extended by a few days and I needed to do a bit of laundry. The hotel doesn't have laundry machines but do offer a service albeit expensive. Pros: excellent staff, free breakfast, nice room, good location Cons: A/C may or may not be on, paltry breakfast, no laundry on site. I'd totally stay again for points but if I wanted luxury I'd find somewhere else.

In Vicenza for work and the AC Marriott was a brand with a familiarity that was refreshing after a…read morelong day of travels from the states. The hotel was modern, room comfortable and amenities great. Just remember, it meets European standards, not US so there is no alarm/clock, and European outlets (so you will need to have adapters). PRO: * Known Marriott quality, comfortable * Good breakfast available in the morning - typical European fare with cold cuts, cheese, bread, and several American style items (scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages). Great Italian coffee. CON: * Gym is available, BUT it is open only from 0700-2300 (11:00pm); minimal equipment - will have to do push-ups, burpies, etc in your room * Typical European room in that there is no clock radio so ensure that you use your phone to wake up in time It is located in a semi-industrial area so it is quiet during the night. I was on the military posts during the day so do not know what is around the area. If visiting Vicenza, AC Marriott is a known quality property to stay with comfortable rooms and accommodations.

Hotel de la Ville is located a bit off the beaten path, at least tourist-wise, in a city that's a…read morebit of the beaten path, tourist-wise. The hotel was a refreshing change after a couple stays in B&Bs, which while they were still nice, they don't have the same amenities that an actual hotel does. Our room was a good size, with plenty of room for a desk and chair, and the large bed. The bed itself was fairly comfy, especially by European hotel bed standards, and we slept fine in it. There was a fridge/mini bar in a cabinet in the desk as well. Those aren't complimentary snacks though, as the prices are on a sheet on the desk. The bathroom was big and clean, with plenty of counter space and good water pressure in the shower. The air conditioning was decent although it took a bit to get going and cool down our large, south facing room. The wifi was good as well. It was still pretty easy to get to the main downtown areas with all the Palladio buildings, as you just have to catch the #1 bus on the other side of the street. As usual, bus tickets are available at tobacco shops. I'm not sure how transit would function in Italy if people stopped smoking en masse! There isn't a lot nearby for food, mostly some pizza and falafel joints, although I highly suggest looking up Inter Nos, which is just a couple blocks away. The hotel has a breakfast area on the main floor that had a typical spread for an Italian breakfast - cornetti, fruit, yogurt, some cheeses and cured meats, and the other usual suspects. There's also lounge/bar area where you can get light meals during certain hours, and of course some drinks. Staff spoke English fairly well, and while they didn't have a business centre to print museum vouchers, since we only had to print a few pages they offered to let us use the computer at the main desk. We weren't able to get them printed due to some file format issues, but it was greatly appreciated. Prices were very reasonable, especially when compared to comparable places in Venice. If you're looking for a place to stay outside Venice or you're a big Palladio fan (as my wife is), give Vicenza and Hotel de la Ville a go! PS. A good two thirds of the city is closed on Mondays, including the big sights, so keep that in mind for your planning.

I booked a room for 2 weeks through booking.com in Nov/Dec 19 newly arriving to the base. Upon arrival I notified the staff AGAIN that I was traveling with a cat. The man who checked me in to my reserved single room came to see her, talked to me about her and asked how she did flying. The next day I was told they could give me a great rate on a double room, I accepted and after work, I moved into the 2nd room. Within one hour of moving, the desk clerk asked to speak with me in private and said "I'm sorry, you're going to have to move rooms" I said I already had. She said "No, move again, right now" I'm like seriously? WHY? "You never told us you had a pet and the room you're in now does not allow pets" I corrected her saying "I didn't fly 30 hours across the world with a cat to NOT tell you I had a pet, of course it was listed on the reservation with booking.com AND you were notified when I checked in." They moved me to an AWFUL room where the "desk" was 4"x 12" with a lawn chair and a fridge in between your legs. The bathroom was so small you couldn't turn around in the shower and there was NOWHERE to put any toiletries in the room (I finally placed a magazine over the top of the bidet and used it as a shelf!!). It gets worse. When I complained to management the next day (they had me move at 7pm the night before!!), she was waiting with guns drawn that morning to rip my head off. She screamed (in front of other guests) that I NEVER told them about my pet and it wasn't their fault I wasn't truthful. After 10 minutes of raising my voice, I packed my things and checked out. They added pet cleaning fees (never explained to me at check in), tax, breakfast charges, city taxes and a load of other crap onto my bill upon my departure. A 74Euro room cost me over $300 for 2 nights by the time it was said and done. Again, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! I moved to Ederle Inn on base and got a 2 room suite with a kitchen for $100/night!!
