Admittedly after having stayed in the delightful Hotel du Lac, Gardone Riviera the night before the Pian del Sole would have to work hard to match up but sadly it wasn't even trying. This was probably the perfect retreat in the 80s - you could see what once was - but no longer. Dated decor is one thing but drab, tired, damaged rooms and bathrooms is not acceptable. We were barely acknowledged when we arrived. Even though we had emailed requesting a table for dinner in their restaurant (an email which we now know why it was ignored) the first we knew they were closed for dinner was when we were handed our key with no eye contact and with a shrug told that the restaurant was closed but plenty of options in town. Not that any suggestions were given. Oh but we could use the pool! In fact there were very few places open. Only bars with snacks. We were saved by a restaurant deciding to open even though their website said they were closed. Breakfast was uninspiring but not a surprise by this point. The young chap who checked us out was cheerier but all too late. Overall impression is of a place that the owners no longer want to run, would like to sell, move on, retire but no-one wants to buy these places. It could be a fabulous boutique hotel in the hills but it needs a lot of work and money spent on it.
