Albergo Diffuso Polcenigo Casa Rigo

Peaceful and private, close to the airbase.

The WiFi was unreliable, made it hard for work. Leaving the property was difficult due to bushes block the view of the road.

The property was very close to my family which was the reason for travel to area. Gated property was very nice and quiet. The property owners were very helpful and showed my all the property on arrival.

Parking was very small so not much space to park and turn around to exit.

The location was nice, with mountains and an open field right out the back, but was not easily walkable to the town center (~10 min walk, part on a fairly busy road without sidewalks). The host was very kind and accommodating. The apartment had plenty of space, compared to many other 2 bedroom apartments, and the cooking area was ample. Everything was very clean and quite modern... too modern in some regards (see comments below).

The place had a lot of built-in technology that made living a little bit cumbersome. There were sensors on all of the doors and windows, and also a key card slot that turned off the HVAC every time you open a door or window. It was difficult to get the HVAC to put out cold air consistently, and the energy-saving technology added a significant down side to guest experience. We are easygoing people, and lived with it, but the system did not keep the place cool enough to sleep well, since its strongest setting only was a low fan setting, and it was impossible to run the system while we were out of the apartment due to the door sensor. The window sensors also made it basically impossible to get any fresh air through the windows, since if we opened them, we risked an unknown amount of time without air conditioning once we decided to close them again. Natural light was lacking, since each window had drapery that was not really moveable, and shutters latched on the outside. Some windows had screens, but the screens weren't easy to retract in order to open the shutters to see the views and get some natural light, so we just left them closed. My bottom line comment here is, the place was in just about every way very nice, but the hosts limited our ability to enjoy how nice it was by being too focused on energy savings. The kitchen was well equipped, but lacked some basics. Plates were sort of a combination bowl/plate and were smaller than standard dinner plates, so not really useful neither as dinner plates nor as bowls. There was some handwashing dish soap, but no dishwasher soap, although there was a dishwasher. Last, a safety recommendation: the hedges on either side of the driveway make it literally impossible to see fast-moving traffic coming from either direction when pulling out of the driveway. These should be cut way back, or mirrors installed opposite the driveway.
