Just when we think we have seen it all, when after decades of traveling, thousands of nights and hundred thousands of air miles we thought we’ve learned about every method of getting your guests out of the room before checkout time, the Villa Foscarini topped it … they cut the power to the room at 1100! But first things first…. On check in, one of us got only 1 key, the hotel ran out of cards. In order to heat up the room, one must leave the card in the room - so after dinner front desk must escort you to the room, to open the door. At night - if you travel in the cold season - you will either have to freeze, or endure the heater-ventilator to switch on/off every 15min The hotel quotes check out at 1100 (!)… but says if you stay till 1200, it is free of charge At 1144 - Chiara from the front desk called, to ask if we actually planned to leave. She was told that the getting ready process took longer, because the electricity was cut in the room (no light!) …. Chiara said, this is standard practice of the hotel. Never seen that …. and likely will never see it again, at least not here. No pictures of the room, as it was dark - but a photo from the outside of the door, the last thing we saw, and of Chiara’s old & shabby empty chair, while she was searching for someone of the management - we usually give them an opportunity to make a statement before posting a negative experience - but they were busy doing something else. Definitely not a 5-Star experience!
