Scene
Family-run inn with a classic Viennese style and a romantic atmosphere
The Pension Aviano is a family-run property that opened in 1987 and features homey interiors done in classic Viennese style. Narrow hallways sport floral printed carpets, while the lobby is not much more than a small wooden front desk, brochures, and a computer available for guest use. The only other public space is the library, which has a small balcony. However, the space could use a refresh. The owners try to maintain the upkeep here and there, such as partly painting during the winter of 2015, but some of the areas feel a bit tired, and some guests might find the classic decor old-fashioned. Overall, this small property attracts couples on vacation who are drawn by its intimate service and central location.
