  The apartment was very comfortable, perfect for a family with small children. The satellite TV, DVD player & stereo made life easier when it rained. The kitchen was very well equipped and there were lots of great places to go out for dinner, the Italians all take their children out with them which was a nice change and made our evenings much more enjoyable. There were lots of places to go and visit close by, we stayed for nearly two weeks and still didn't get to see everything. We had a great time staying over new year, we even joined in a local new years party which was great fun. looking forward to coming back soon. Henry, Caroline, Sarah & Freya Iddon. Blackpool, England. Comfortable, nice showers, enough towels, good beds, very complete kitchen. Nice surroundings, beautiful hills, well located to the A4 highway. We like the fire outside. You've been very helpful and kind. We like the fresh eggs !! Ambra Walstra & friends from Holland

  La ferme "Palazzo Rosso" est en endroit paradisiaque pour passer ses vacances. Au calme, dans une région touristiquement intéressante (Vicenza, Padova, Venise, montagnes...), Phil et Silvia vous accueillent chaleureusement et font tout pour que vous passiez du très bon temps. Leurs appartements sont très bien agencés, propres et disposent de toutes les commodités nécessaires (micro-onde, wifi...) , et la piscine est très agréable pour se rafraichir lors des chaudes journées. Bref des vacances tip-top !!

  Owner response: Glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. Phil and Silvy

  We are about to make our 6th visit to Palazzo Rosso and can't wait.Usually its my wife and I,but this year we are a party of 6 plus a new grandson. The location is so good for all of the Veneto cities,but drive a little further to Lake Garda or up to South Tyrol for something different. If you don't want that sort of holiday,just laze around the pool. Eat in (there is a big supermarket close by). Dine out at a very good selection of eateries nearby.Our hosts,Phil and Silvi, always give far more than expected of their time and attention (considering this is a working farm) and have never failed to direct us to great places not found in guide books. Visit once and you'll be regulars like us.

  We stayed in the one bedroom apartments in June this year and the quality of both the accommadation and service was great. Even though the apartments are set in a rural surroundings the road to the town means it is only 5 mins away but when you wouldn't know. The spec and rustic restoration of the old farm house was higher than our expectation and with air con. key card entry it was a safe environment to stay in. The apartment was one bedroom but not too small, we enjoyed breakfast on the patio in the morning and could of used the BBQ it we wanted to. The pool was so clean and new and relaxing to sit around in the daytime. The family and dogs were very friendly and if we just wanted a walk around the field in the evening we could do so. Within a ten min drive we found local pizzerias, restaurants and take aways. There was a wine shop across the road if you wanted to buy local fizz - 2-4 euros and enjoy a night on the patio watching the sun set. Would recommend to families and couples alike.

  This was our second stay at Palazzo Rosso and was every bit as good as was anticipated, the addition of the swimming pool is great and the various other added touchs are excellent. It is difficult to add to the other reviews, as everything seems to have been said!!, but we can endorse all the good things that have been said about the place. Phil & Silvy are superb hosts and we would recommend Palazzo Rosso to anyone who was thinking of visiting the Vicenza area

  Myself and wife Norma had a lovely two weeks in apartment 4. Palasso Rosso is gorgeous, as are the two hosts, Phil and Silvia. We still didn't see as much as we expected - Verona and Padua/Padova next time! Loved the fifteen minute scenic walk to the local pizzeria,(closed on Tuesdays as our first walk there revealed) Oh to be back. Ciao.

  We stayed at the Palazzo Rosso for a week in late June as part of an 8 week tour of Italy using a variety of hotels and self-catering accommodation. This easily the best run and most relaxed of all our stops, matching and exceeding the description supplied on the website. Despite being Europe's two busiest people, Phil and Silvy always had time to answer any queries we had and to offer advice on what to see, how to get there and where to eat when we arrived. From the relaxed method of checking in to the free use of the laundry room, very useful to us after a few weeks on the road, it was so refreshing to be treated like grown-ups and without any fuss. Our apartment was clean and, although the smallest in the building (our choice), comfortable, well planned and equipped. The barn itself is beautiful and the conversion has retained its charm perfectly. Outside, the huge loggia is a brilliant use of space and very handy when the weather turns wet, which it did for a couple of days. The pool was very welcome after a long day out and about, it was a treat to float around admiring the views across the fields to the hills. The surrounding area is packed with villages, villas and towns to visit, it is easy to reach Verona, Padua and even Venice from here either by train or car whilst enjoying the benefit of being based in the countryside. Vicenza itself is a very beautiful city just down the road and if you are at a loss as to what to do during your stay just wander into the reception area which is packed with enough suggestions and information to keep you occupied for an entire summer. And there are free eggs. We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Palazzo Rosso and wished we had booked for longer. The accommodation, management, surroundings and variety of attractions within easy reach make this a great destination for almost any type of traveller of any age and we would certainly recommend it. But please, don't all turn up at once, we want to go back ourselves.

  We stayed in apartment 4 for a week at the end of June and had a wonderful, [and very warm!] visit. Philip and Silvey were great hosts who shared lots of good information with us and made us feel at home. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and with the heat, the quiet air conditioner got us through some hot nights. Fresh eggs and fruit were available for the guests - a nice touch. Took a bike ride into Vicenza and enjoyed the Palladian architecture.

  The accommodation was ideally situated for excusions to Venice,Verona, Padova,Vincenza and the many villages in the surrounding countryside. The kitchen was well equipped for travellers that want to cater for themselves and there were also restaurants close by if you desired to eat out. The bedroom was comfortable although the configuration of the apartment did make it feel a bit cramped at times. Excellent free laundry facilities which are essential for tourists on the "move". The pool, barbeque and outdoor eating facilities were clean and well maintained .The free use of bikes was a bonus and provided a great way to explore the surrounding area in a relaxed manner or take the bike track to Vincenza ( however the provision of helmets would have been appreciated) I would recommend this accommodation when visiting this area as the owners provided excellent customer service and the property was very well maintained. It was good value for money when we stayed in June 2010.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Thanks for the suggestion, we will get some helmets for the guests. Phil and Silvy

  Das Palazzo Rosso sah genauso aus, wie die Fotos im Internet es beschrieben und gezeigt haben. Ein liebevoll restaurierter Bauernhof mit Charme. Das Appartment war sauber, allerdings hatten wir es uns ein wenig groesser vorgestellt. Die Ausstattung war gut, besonders komfortabel war der Hauswirtschaftsraum mit Waschmaschine fuer die Gaeste. Leider ist die Decke ueber dem Schlafraum sehr hellhoerig. Besonders schoen sind die grosszügigen Aussenanlagen mit Pool. Unsere Gastgeber waren ausgesprochen freundlich u. jederzeit fuer uns da. Wir haben uns in diesem Haus wohlgefuehlt. Fuer Ausfluege nach Verona, Venedig, die Huegellandschaft usw. ist der Palazzo Rosso ein idealer Ausgangspunkt.

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, sightseeing, families with young children.

  Owner response: I must get around to studying German, I managed to translate it using google, thanks to Gabi and Bodo.
