We actually stayed in a small town "down the road" from Valdobbiadine proper. We like the small town atmosphere and shy away from big, fancy hotels in favor of B&Bs. Vineyards and chestnut trees could be seen from our windows. Trips to wineries for tasting facilitated by our hosts who were so gracious and helped us feel we were part of a real Italian experience.
Best restaurant we ate at was Al Caminetto in Fovia, 5 minutes from Combai where we were staying. Great wine tasting experience at Nani Rizzi & Ruggeri wineries. We missed the chestnut festival which takes place in early October but hope to remedy that on our next trip!

A bit of a mixed area.
A bit of a mixed area. The town looks a little run down in places, but there are plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants here. There are lots of options for parking too.
We found a nice cafe, just opposite the main square and visited here on 3 occasions during our stay. Prices were relatively cheap for lunchtime snacks/meals and drinks. The premises was clean and it had a nice seating area outside. Staff were really helpful and friendly.
We had an evening meal at V restaurant (situated in Hotel Diane), which was great. Prices were reasonable, service was fantastic and location was nice. We sat outside and couldn't have asked for more.
We used the local supermarket, Conard, which had a huge variety of products and everything for your day to day needs. There was also a Lidl here, but we didn't go there on this occasion.
There were also a good selection of what looked to be very nice pizzerias and wine bars, in addition to some nice homeware shops and prosecco/wine shops.
The church on the square is definitely worth a visit, too.
We would definitely return, as there was nothing to really dislike about the area.

Great little town suitable for relaxing, exercise (we came here for riding bikes) and drinking Prosecco.
We only ate at Secco Pizza after such a good meal the first night, we had takeaway the next and then ate there the last two nights.
It was the only place open from 6.30 - perfect for us as we eat early after rising early and riding big kilometers. Perfectly priced as well.
We booked a Prosecco tasting at Ruggeri - 30Euro - great value and we took with us to drink on the rest of our holiday another 6 bottles :)

This area has many wineries if you are seeking to taste Prosecco wines. The hillsides are full of vineyards and the region is very scenic. Although we enjoyed the few days we spent in this area we found very little in the way of goods and services. Only a few decent restaurants and some with limited hours or closed all together. There were no retail stores, village squares or other points of interest so it is probably an area to visit for the day and then travel to other towns for hotel stays.

We arrived in a quiet holiday period and there was minimum venues open. Our hotel was central to the town but still not practical to walk to many cellar doors as a car would be needed. Would have prefered to stay out of town in a more rustic location and driven around to cellar doors.

Amazing place with exellent wine!
Amazing place with exellent wine! We visited Agriturismo Vedova, Colesel Spumanti, Villa Sandi! no other words then GREAT tradition and taste! Would like to recommend also Castel Brando! Inspiring atmosphere and views. Valdobbiadene is in the core of my heart! definitely should be there and spend at least 3 days!
Gorgeous boutique hotel and caters perfectly for solo travellers. The upstairs main lounge area is huge with a large 12 seaters table, fireplace and some comfortable couches as well as a lovely large balcony overlooking the surrounding vineyards and countryside. The restaurant is stunning and the wine list superb.
A lovely new hotel on a working vineyard, service was attentive and kind - no language barrier - Lisa made us a beautiful breakfast with fresh eggs from the farm and her hospitality was much appreciated. Would recommend 10/10
Exceptional boutique hotel and wonderful staff who made our stay very special. The breakfast was amazing, as were the finger food side dishes we ordered with our Prosecco. Definitely worth a visit!
The location is perfect, right in the center of the town. The hotel is easy to reach and it is easy to park. The room has basically everything you need.
