I will be in or near Bolzano (Bozen) for 10 to 14 days in August. I checked the FAQ but found no information about Trentino - Alto Adige (or for the not TOO distant towns of Piedmont). I would greatly appreciate any recommendations, especially about places to stay in or near Bolzano.
Thank you

Beautiful place. I went there for a Frank Zappa concert. It was in a stadium at the foot of an Alp. Parts of it dated to the 12th century. I wish I could remember the name of the restaurant there I ate in 26 years ago, it was fantastic. The one warning I would give you is that since it is near the Austrian border most people speak Italian and German. Since more than 2 languages is hard for most people, hardly anyone speaks English. When you give money to a homeless person on the street they say "grazie danke". Enjoy.
Fred.
In terms of wine, Alto Adige is your best bet. I send you this admittedly cumbersome links to previous threads in the AFW. Unfortunately, Reka Hukari has not appeared for a long time, which is a shame; otherwise, she would be your best bet.

Thanks to all 3 of you for your guidance. Language shouldn't be a problem, Fred -- I'm comfortable in both languages (although some of the german mountain dialects can be completely incomprehensible to me). I'm sure we'll try some of the restaurants Vilco mentions (and we are mobile). And the links to wine discussions are exactly what I was looking for. You have helped me a lot.
I'll report back after the trip.
