Overall: We enjoyed the property, which we shared with another couple.The set-up of the bedrooms and baths was excellent for privacy. Enjoyed Most: The outdoor deck with pool looking out over the valley was lovely. The evening sunsets and moonrise were spectacular. Enjoyed Least: The walk into town is a rather strenuous trek up and down the slope. The narrow road leading into the property requires a confident and competent driver. Fortunately, my partner and I have driven extensively in Italy and other countries.The kitchen is extremely well equipped but the knives would not cut soft butter! Surrounding Area: We used La Tempesta as a base to explore the Veneto and Dolomites. We enjoyed being able to visit many lovely towns and indulge my special passion--villas designed by Palladio.Follow the Prosecco Road and, if you are daring, drive the hairpin road through the Dolomites. Nearby Events or Locales: The nearest town was Asolo. It was not really within walking distance, as I described above.There is limited parking in the village and we would have preferred to be able to walk from La Tempesta. We learned to stop at any market we found open as we traveled. There is a small green grocer and a deli that are very good in the village but with limited items and hours. Tips or Restaurants: Make sure you bring any personal needs. Toilet tissue is not supplied.We often had a nice lunch in towns we were visiting and then planned on making a light supper at the villa. Bistrot in Asolo was a good find.Renters should know ahead of time that the village is closed to traffic on Sundays as are the food stores so if you arrive, as we did, late afternoon on Saturday do not plan on getting supplies until Monday. There was a meal prepared for us for Saturday night which was very welcome. Directions: A GPS is absolutely necessary in this area.
