Everything was pretty tight the 3rd week in April because of spring break but we changed our itinerary and got Camp Darby too. So, things are looking good thanks to all the great help on this website!

We just got home from 2 1/2 week vacation in Germany and Italy. Easily got rooms everyplace( to include Garmish) but Ederle. Called for several days but all rooms were full. Finally told them I was retired flag officer and we got DV rooms, but all others were full. Stayed in the same building that I stayed in 3 years ago.   Bob Dart Senior Member Username: Bobdart Post Number: 1393 Registered: 06-2005 Posted From: 76.29.20.95 Posted on Thursday, March 25, 2010 - 02:59 pm:    Brian, thanks for the detailed explanation. I wasn't aware of the "chapel" gate which makes it easier to just walk into town.   Brian T.

The main one is on Via Aldo Moro and is open 24 hours to vehicle traffic only. There is the "chapel" gate which is open to incoming traffic in the morning and outgoing traffic in the afternoon. It is also the main pedestrian gate 24hrs and is on Via Della Pace. This is the main road that runs in front of the base and where you catch the #1 bus to the train station. There is also a side gate that is refereed to as the "housing" gate as you need to go out to get to the housing office. It is open during normal duty hours to both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The only change they did to the main gate was to extend the access road to keep traffic off Via Aldo Moro in the morning as it would back up there and was a hazard.   William Yates Advanced Member Username: Byates Post Number: 178 Registered: 11-2006 Posted From: 68.159.109.76 Posted on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 - 09:58 pm:    We walked out the "old" gate into town to eat pizza.   Bob Dart Senior Member Username: Bobdart Post Number: 1391 Registered: 06-2005 Posted From: 76.29.20.95 Posted on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 - 09:48 pm:    Mark, recalulate your coordinates as these put you in to a farm field a good distance south of the base. I thought that John D was referring to what appears to be a building site at N45.55098 / E011.58176. The old entrance to the lodging desk was N45.54982 / E011.58055. If memory serves me correctly the gate has been at the the same location that William describes for the last 4-5 years or more.   William Yates Advanced Member Username: Byates Post Number: 177 Registered: 11-2006 Posted From: 68.159.109.76 Posted on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 - 09:29 pm:    That should be: Via Aldo moro 95 36100 Vicenza Italy On Google earth you can click on one the camera icons and see a picture of the entrance.   William Yates Advanced Member Username: Byates Post Number: 176 Registered: 11-2006 Posted From: 68.159.109.76 Posted on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 - 09:19 pm:    This address should take you to the entrance to the base. It is a divided road so you may have to go to the next crossover and come back to the entrance. Put this into your GPS. Via Aldo moro 91 36100 Vicenza Italy   William Yates Advanced Member Username: Byates Post Number: 175 Registered: 11-2006 Posted From: 68.159.109.76 Posted on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 - 09:10 pm:    Danny Hamilton, Your coordinates are correct. The new addition is at that location too. The new entrance to the base is on that double road that runs beside the base. Both are on Lelands POI's that you can download to your GPS.   Mark S.

If you can locate the lodging building using Google Earth, just place your mouse's cursor over the building and then look down on the screen & at the center of the bottom of the screen will be the coordinates of wherever your mouse is resting. For example: Lat 45.549694 Lon 11.580797 (Which is where I think it MIGHT be.) Can you confirm that location as being correct? If not, can you provide the correct coordinates? Thanks!

In looking at their website I see they have gone through a renovation. Is lodging in the same location or is there a new building?   Brian T.

It will save you hassles if something happens to the car.   Barbara Patterson Member Username: Bap Post Number: 33 Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 70.178.250.156 Posted on Monday, March 15, 2010 - 03:54 pm:    Thanks so much for this info. Another SPAT just let me know that there is Europcar at the PX.   Brian T.

The whole base is small and you can walk form one end to the other in about 5 minutes. They were doing an expansion project of Lodging when we PCSed last June so don't know how far along it is. Your best bet is to call and make reservations prior to arrival.

Are reservations hard to get? How far away is it from the Vicenza Hosp. Medevac drop-off point? Can you recommend another place to stay nearby? If we take the Medevac bus from Landstuhl we'll get in late and rental car office will be closed.
