Locanda Degli Ulivi

In an otherwise fairly flat area the setting of the hotel near Vicenza is very good sited in an olive grove with views down the nearby valley at the rear with lovely morning views as we had the lake/valley view room. Lady proprietor very helpful. Good breakfast. Room cold on arrival as heating had not been turned on in anticipation of our arrival during coldish spell and in general hotel and rooms felt cold. Had to send one restaurant meal back as so called braised meat was very fatty and chewy.We were hoping for more from the hotel restaurant but were a little disappointed bearing in mind the photographs on the booking site. Mini bar in the room but totally empty. I do not however want to over criticise this hotel as I feel it is a work in progress as the owner has just taken it over and I am hopeful it will improve if her enthusiasm is anything to go by.
