Accommodations
During your stay you’ll take up residence at the Albergo Ristorante Contarini, just north of Campolongo sul Brenta and just south of Valstagna, and about 6 miles/9 km north of Bassano del Grappa.
Rooms have a balcony with a spectacular panoramic view of Monte Grappa towering above. All are comfortable, spotless and spacious. They’re tastefully decorated with hand crafted wooden furnishings, fashionable fabrics and of course a private bathroom complete with bidet and shower. You may request a room with bathtub, but only rooms in the newer annex are equipped with tubs. For your convenience, the albergo has an excellent, full-service restaurant and bar.
Unpack your luggage and live in a charming country inn nestled in the beautiful Brenta River valley. Strike out daily for a different adventure. This is the real Italy, living, eating and moving about in The Mecca for Cyclists according to Bicycling magazine. Fortunately it’s still a well-kept secret.
