Please do not be fooled by flashy web page presented by the management of this Hotel near Villa Franca, approximately 20min by car from Verona city, Italy.
It is situated on a very busy (noisy) main road, right next to a bird farm that was easy to smell from the room we occupied.
The farm ensures a continuos supply of insects reaches the hotel, day and night; they enter the bathrooms through the air vents above.
The entire front of the hotel is finished in dry cement, which the management have attempted to camouflage using big posters.
There is another building site next to the hotel (that was the view from our room).
There is a bus stop in front of the hotel but they run 1 ...
Advantages: Fantastic Food, shops, atmosphere, scenery and snow Disadvantages: Nothing compared to the advantages
?Zermatt is a place all skiers must go to before they die? Well, the guide books that state that are spot on. It?s that time of year again, when keen skiers & boarders start to think about their next winter holiday, and where it should be this year. Well, if you haven?t tried Zermatt, Switzerland, then this resort should be near the top of your list. It?s simply excellent. I have been there several times, and love it. There?s a charm, a magic that runs through the lively and attractive village. The lifts are fast and efficient and the runs which take you through stunning scenery, seem to always be in excellent condition. Zermatts height affords the resort a fantastic snow record with skiing from early on in the season till mid April. The resort has three main mountains. Rothorn, Gornergrat and Klein Matterhorn. All three offer fantastic ...
Advantages: Good food & excellent Matterhorn views Disadvantages: Swimming pool is freezing & swimwear is optional in the sauna!
I stayed at this hotel in May 2006, whilst 6 months pregnant! It was fantastic! Zermatt is a car free zone so you have to park your car at the large car park outside Zermatt & catch the train. The short train journey will then arrive at the train station where you can pick up a free transfer from the hotels electric powered mini bus. We just walked which was about 10/15mins as it's at the opposite end of the resort. The hotel is beautifully furnished with pine clad on the walls & ceilings in the rooms. You must ask for a Matterhorn view, it will just make your holiday to wake up every morning & see the mountain from your bed. Our room was on the top floor so we had velux windows to really maximise the views. We stayed on a half board & you get a set menu with 2/3 choices. Being pregnant I was limited to what I could eat & if ...
