Private sitting-rooms may be had by families in one of Trettenero’s hotels, and suites of apartments in the village, their occupants dining at the tables d'hôte in the hotels, or they may have their dinners sent to their lodgings, provided the hours do not interfere with those of the meals in common.

The situation of Recoaro at the heal of a large mountain valley is extremely beautiful—on the banks of a rapid torrent, the Prekele ; and being at an elevation of 1500 ft. above the sea, ill climate is cool during the hot months, when a sojourn in the large towns of the Lombardo-Venetian plains is far from agreeable.
