Podere La Torre

Authentic local food and architecture

Christmas lunch: cool location, good service but the quality of the food is pretty bad... Disappointed! ?

I sleep for 2 nights. Rooms is good, but access to room is too small

I like the place very beautiful and im enjoying. Im planning to come back again

This little piece of heaven is a MUST for travelers to Italy who want to feel like part of the Italian culture instead of a tourist. My husband and I were blessed to stay four nights here and were VERY impressed not only by the beautiful views and grounds, but the delicious food and welcoming staff. The pools are breathtaking. We had our 19 month old with us, and instead of feeling like we shouldn't have brought her, we were made to feel like the staff LOVED her. They all had smiles and sweet words for her and even the owner brought paper and crayons to our table just as an added touch at breakfast one morning. The location is so conveniently located with short drives to Verona, Vicenza, Asiago, Bassano del Grappa and so much more. It is on our list to visit again in the future...we literally had a difficult time leaving the peace of Podere La Torre to go sight see!

The place has a nice ambience and the restaurant is quite nice, but the management has to learn how to run a hotel. Playing music outside at 12am is not a way to ensure that your guests get a good night's sleep. There is way too much noise coming from outside. It's a shame because the rooms are nice. Hopefully management addresses this problem.

Excellent place where you can enjoy gorgeous swimming pools with music bar, excellent restaurant, few top quality rooms, and a typical park to have a walk and relax. Playgrounds available for children. The ambient is very accurate as a typical Canadian style. A minigolf is missing, it would be a unique gem. US Army Vicenza community is welcome, ask for special promo prices!

They have potential to receive 5 stars from me... The rooms are brand new, great style & sound proof (more on why that's important later), the bed is comfortable, and the location is very beautiful. It is not an agriturismo! The pool, bar and grounds are open to the public which is not indicated on their booking.com or agriturismo.it pages. This is what went wrong: We arrived early, and immediately realized this place was not what we expected for our relaxing vacation. There was music baring and people everywhere so we went inside to get some information. The staff needs better training as it's clear they aren't prepared for overnight guests. When we entered there was no one at the reception, a lady came in from outside rushing to find her mask and put it on. She told us we were early and had to come back at 5 because they had to clean properly due to covid. We expected some kind of explanation on what activities were on the grounds, instructions on where we can wait or even where to put our bags but she offered no information and it quickly became an uncomfortable interrogation where all we learned is that we can go to the bar and wait. At the bar, while the staff was kind and courteous, they were also in a rush. I expected for them to talk to us about the products produced by the agriturismo but they didn't... One just orders and is directed to sit down. Not to mention not one person behind the counter was wearing a mask over their mouth and nose. After that, we decided to walk around the grounds to see for ourself what the property offers and quickly realized the sunbeds aren't disinfected after each use even though the entire place is open to the public. At 5 we returned to reception, where an upbeat (properly masked) woman gave us the keys to our room and explained how to get in and out of the building. She did not offer information about the grounds either and since we had read online that there was an additional charge for the pool, I asked about it. They charge 22 euro (the same price they charge general public, even though you book a room). We expected 10 euro or less as long overnight guests . We decided not to use the amenities and simply enjoy our room and travel the area. The room cleaning was not bad but not thorough. There was a white substance on the dresser. We shrugged it off as some residue from the cleaning supplies and let it go. From inside the room, we could not hear the blaring music or people outside. The view from the windows is a huge drawback. The only thing you see is floor gravel as the windows are literally at outdoor floor level and anyone that passes by can see inside unless you keep them covered. The next morning, the power went out at 8:30 and we were awoken by the blaring light of the safety headlight. Which also highlighted a huge spiderweb and spider. At this point we had enough and decided to speak to someone. We went downstairs to have breakfast which is located at the full service bar where the 3 staff members behind the bar were again not wearing masks properly or at all. The included breakfast was cerial, prepacked toast, and jams and a drink of choice from the bar. I was only offered a brioche after I was visually upset. We chose to have a coffee and juice and were directed to be served at the table. Again, the waitress was wearing her mask under her chin. When we spoke to the director, He was professional, kind and listened with an intent to understand and focused on problem solving. He resolved by not charging for the entire booking and to find us a more relaxing accommodation. We could tell that he also spoke with the staff as one of them apologized. They also gifted us 2 bottles of wine produced by them. If you are looking for an upbeat, young and fun weekend stay where you can party at the pool, aperitivo at the bar, stay for dinner and then stay overnight, this is your place! We were looking for a relaxed, post covid safe place to spend a few days and we were heavily disappointed. Our vacation has been saved thanks to the director.
