The Plateau of the Seven Communities, mountains for all seasons
The Asiago Plateau, or of the Seven Communities, is one of the most loved mountain destinations in north-east Italy: meadows, woods and slopes an hour from Vicenza and Padua, with tourism that lives all year. In winter, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and the plateau's trails; in summer, hiking, mountain huts, cycling and the cool air that calls those escaping the plains. For a property here, the site is the first salesperson: it speaks to families, sports lovers and tourists before they even reach the heights.
People looking for a Plateau holiday expect to see straight away where they'll sleep, what they can do, and to book in a few steps. A slow or dated site loses the guest at the first screen — and with Trentino and the Dolomites nearby as competition, being found well and conveying value makes the difference.
Direct booking: fewer commissions, more margin
Every booking from Booking or the portals leaves 15-25% commission. A site with an integrated booking engine lets you capture the guest directly, with your best rate. It's not about dropping the portals — they help you get found — but about turning those who already chose you into a direct booking, where the margin stays with you. For hotels, lodges and farm stays on the Plateau, where stays are often short and repeated, every extra direct booking counts by season's end.
A fast, multilingual site with secure payment shifts a meaningful share of bookings from the portals to the direct channel each year, and puts you in direct contact with the guest from the moment they book.

The Plateau lives on two different seasons, with different searches: in winter "where to ski in Asiago", "ski week Plateau"; in summer "hiking Asiago", "mountain huts Seven Communities", "where to stay in the mountains". We handle SEO and distinct seasonal content, so your property is visible all year, to the right audience at the right time. We also integrate experiences and activities — snowshoeing, hikes, Asiago PDO tastings — that turn a room into a stay to remember.
Selling the experience, not just the room
On the Plateau you don't sell a bed: you sell clean air, silence, nature and flavours. The pastures, the mountain huts, Asiago PDO cheese, the Great War trails, the Plateau's starry sky. A site that tells all this with quality photography and crafted copy, in several languages too, is worth more than any discounted rate: it conveys value, and value justifies the price. For those working with Asiago, the plateau's main town, it's the story of the territory that convinces the guest to choose you.
