ABOUT THE REUNION
| We are still looking for a venue for the reunion meeting. Since we
are contemplating even more people than the 2006 reunion, we are looking
for a larger meeting place. One possibility is the grade school. Once a
decision is made, I will update this page. Read more about lodging below. The core group of our Cunico Genealogy team will be split between the two hotels mentioned. |

TRANSPORTATION

There are no trains to Asiago..only buses or taxis. Buses leave Asiago as early as 6.00am in the morning for Vicenza and are on a regular basis. The trains to Venice run regularly all day from Vicenza as it is a main line in Italy. This also applies to Vicenza / Milan.
All tickets can be purchased directly at the stations. The train tickets
must be validated at small yellow machines placed on
columns at the beginning of the binario (railtrack)
otherwise you can get a fine. This is also valid for all rail/bus transport. VENEZIA AIRPORT For Cunico's that are arriving at Venice airport, there is a bus that goes directly to the railway station and from there the trains leave for Bassano del Grappa or to Vicenza. From both towns there are buses to Asiago on a regular bases and the bus station in Asiago is about 200m from the hotel. There are taxi's also available from both towns, however they can be expensive to Asiago. The best way to reach Asiago is to take the train to Vicenza from Venice St.Lucia train station. There is a shuttle from Venice airport to the railway station on a regular basis. Once you arrive at Vicenza railway station exit the building and walk a few metres to the bus station. Looking north it is slightly to the left. There you can purchase tickets to Asiago. The buses are blue and are usually marked Asiago/Gallio.

LODGING
|
The primary lodging will be at two hotels - Sporting Residence Hotel and Meltar Golf Resort. Should we need to involve other hotels, Stefano (Sporting) and Adriana (Meltar) we will do so nearer the time. I highly recommend golf enthusists consider staying at the Meltar Golf Resort. Those staying at the golf course should have a car. For those without cars, the Sporting Residence Hotel might be a better choice. Both facilities are outstanding! Negotiated room rates for both hotels will be as follows:
(All prices are per person per night and including
breakfast)
