Villa Foscarini Cornaro

Just when we think we have seen it all, when after decades of traveling, thousands of nights and hundred thousands of air miles we thought we’ve learned about every method of getting your guests out of the room before checkout time, the Villa Foscarini topped it … they cut the power to the room at 1100! But first things first…. On check in, one of us got only 1 key, the hotel ran out of cards. In order to heat up the room, one must leave the card in the room - so after dinner front desk must escort you to the room, to open the door. At night - if you travel in the cold season - you will either have to freeze, or endure the heater-ventilator to switch on/off every 15min The hotel quotes check out at 1100 (!)… but says if you stay till 1200, it is free of charge At 1144 - Chiara from the front desk called, to ask if we actually planned to leave. She was told that the getting ready process took longer, because the electricity was cut in the room (no light!) …. Chiara said, this is standard practice of the hotel. Never seen that …. and likely will never see it again, at least not here. No pictures of the room, as it was dark - but a photo from the outside of the door, the last thing we saw, and of Chiara’s old & shabby empty chair, while she was searching for someone of the management - we usually give them an opportunity to make a statement before posting a negative experience - but they were busy doing something else. Definitely not a 5-Star experience!

Horrible service. Checked in only to come back later as the lights and electricity went off Turns out that the front desk did not register me correctly. No F&B on Sundays so had to walk for 20 minutes to get dinner - was told it would be 8 minutes. On Monday, the restaurant opens at 7pm. They had a massive group with only 2 wait staff! I was made to sit in the restaurant while no one would even acknowledge me. Had to leave and survive the evening on chips and peanuts! The bed is so uncomfortable that I woke up with sore pains. No hand soap in the bathroom. Please do NOT stay here!!

Eccezzionale Super confortevole

Its the only hotel in the world where they don't have paper tissues as an amenity, and if you ask also then they don’t have. I enjoy the charming atmosphere. Bed in our room was small for two people.

Arrived at 16:30 as part of a wedding party and was able to go straight to the room. Disappointing that the air-conditioning was not working straight away. Reported it to Reception immediately to be told they would review it and when we returned to our Junior Suite at 04:00, it was super hot and uncomfortable that we struggled to sleep. The next morning on departure, it was the same lady checking us out that we reported the problem to. We reminded her of the problem only to be replied with “yes there is an issue and we need maintenance to have a look”. Nothing was done the night before. No note was left. Very disappointing and unacceptable that we were not even offered another room or any sort of compensation. We booked the hotel to sleep and even that was a struggle because of how hot the room was. We weren’t able to open the windows as there was a note telling us not to due to the many insects around. The wedding held at the hotel was beautiful but this service made for an upsetting experience.

Beautiful old villa and we loved the room we stayed in the first few nights. Awesome coffee at the breakfast restaurant. Got a little noisy and crazy when weddings were hosted.
