“Fabulous thermal pool more than makes up for run-down exterior”

Stayed here one night on a biking trip and really enjoyed it despite a poor first impression (exterior is not well maintained with peeling paint). Best thing is a fabulous huge thermal pool heated to 36C, we loved it. The hotel is one of 3 large hotels in a resort complex, I suspect it’s also the c… more

Stayed here one night on a biking trip and really enjoyed it despite a poor first impression (exterior is not well maintained with peeling paint). Best thing is a fabulous huge thermal pool heated to 36C, we loved it. The hotel is one of 3 large hotels in a resort complex, I suspect it’s also the cheapest but you can use the facilities in the other properties. Our room was fine, large and well maintained with lovely views from the balcony. Decor was like every Marriott we’ve ever stayed in, think it might have been a Marriott in its past. Others in our group said their rooms were shabby so make sure you ask for a renovated one. There’s nowhere you can eat outside the resort complex, the dining room is large and impersonal but the food was surprisingly excellent, some of the best pasta I’ve had. Staff all very friendly. We’d have been happy to stay longer

“Perfect peace”

After an early start my wife and I met up with our friends in Venice airport,picked up a hire car and hit the road. It is very easy to get to this area, 50 / 55 minutes travel.

After an early start my wife and I met up with our friends in Venice airport,picked up a hire car and hit the road. It is very easy to get to this area, 50 / 55 minutes travel. On arrival we were allocated our rooms which were good sized and clean. This was the norm for the week we were there, Christina did a great job of cleaning our rooms. The hotel didn’t seem to be overly busy and we had a great choice of sunbed selection , sometimes it was like we had the pool to ourselves. The temperature of the water was great, like taking a bath albeit there was a section in the pool ,a circular area where the water was freezing ,part of the thermal experience I think. Dinner consisted of 4 courses with 4 choices along with a daily special. There was always something to eat for everyone. Good selection at breakfast time. Salvatore and svetlana were really good in the bar area and it was nice to meet “il direttore “ the resort manager. The area is perfect for getting around all the small villages in the area and the train station is a 5 minute drive away. Padua around 45 minutes and Venice 80 ish minutes away on super clean trains. We did notice that the villages and trains were immaculate,puts this country to shame. Giovanni and Doreen were 2 other employees at the front desk that were really helpful. We would have no hesitation in coming back here around the same time next year. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

“Awful catering but nice rooms.”

The hotel is remote so you are almost forced to dine there. We arrived and were delighted with facilities and reception staff and rooms fine. We booked dinner and that’s where the fun stopped. By far the poorest evening buffet I have seen anywhere and the most unhelpful miserable dining staff. We h… more

The hotel is remote so you are almost forced to dine there. We arrived and were delighted with facilities and reception staff and rooms fine. We booked dinner and that’s where the fun stopped. By far the poorest evening buffet I have seen anywhere and the most unhelpful miserable dining staff. We had to ask for everything and when it eventually came it was delivered without any courtesy .Breakfast was no better so won’t be returning.
