Was a very busy schedule but got to see a little of everything. Gave my wife and me a better glimpse of Europe and ideas for more extended trips to individual countries. The group was great and by the end we made a lot of friends. Erin our tour guide was great. Very informative and was always looking to make sure we were comfortable. Alex the driver was great as well. I give him a lot of props for dealing w city traffic.
The overall trip was amazing and the scenery was out of this world. Glad we had the maps, trip notes and the active SatNav to find our way as signage was pretty scarce and sometimes wrong. Given times for walking were way out and it meant we didn’t get the time to look around the small villages on arrival. I would suggest starting the walk much earlier each day, but this wasn’t always possible as breakfast wasn’t ready until 7.30 or even later.
Walking in Prosecco country Walking on this holiday is varied and well within most people's grasp. Aside from the rolling hills of Prosecco vineyards it includes forest walking and following along side a river. The hotel is most comfortable with large airy bedrooms and updated bathrooms which do not detract from the historic building. It sits within its own grounds including a large swimming pool and a bookable spa.
The village of Soligo is small with 3 cafe's and a small shop which stocks a wide range of biscuits, soft drinks and bottled water. There is one sure thing about this holiday and this is you will not go hungry. Lunches are freshly made by the local shop and will keep you going during the walks. The hotel food is second to none and the other resturants we eat at also supplied delicous food. The highlight of this trip is Prosecco in all its forms. I learnt a lot about how the wine was made and how to tell one bottle from another.
