This event was started in 1991 as a meeting point for guitar collectors, but in a very short time it became a classic appointment not only for the vintage and high-end guitar fans, but also for all those who consider themselves music lovers. Soave 2012 Guitar Festival, the 21st edition of the event, will also be the final one. I say it with pain in my heart, but we all know that it's better to take a decision when you can still manage the events, than to wait until the events decide on your behalf. We will have time to talk about this when we meet in Soave. I'm sure you will agree with me! Anyway, as this will be the last edition, I have tried to make it the best and richest of its history. 2012 is a very important anniversary, as it comes 50 years after The Beatles recorded and entered the British scene with their first single "Love Me Do". "P.S. I Love You" was the "B" side. This event started a revolution which, through the music, changed our way of life. I think that I could find no better subject to close the history of our festival. Therefore the official poster has been created around the "Beatlescaster", a special guitar that, celebrating The Beatles, will also say "Thank You" to all those artists and friends who have been part of its history, including you, who gave us your support. Once again this guitar - a Fender Stratocaster '57 UPGR - has been given us by Patrizia Bauer, owner of Casale Bauer Spa, the official importer of Fender instruments since the early 60s. And once again the author of its decoration is our friend Renzo Pagliani, who made two samples. One of these jewels will be put in our Museum, whilst the second will be drawn free of charge among those people who attend the evening concerts of the festival. This raffle will take place on 30th April, during the last evening concert. Should the winner not be at the venue at the final concert, the guitar will be held at his (her) disposal until 15th May. After that day the guitar will not be assigned. The winning number will be posted on the home-page of the festival's website. Therefore i beg you not to phone or e-mail me to ask me about the the raffle, because I will not be able to give you personal answers.

Booking
After the terrible damages caused by the floods of November 2010 and March 2011, now Soave can count again on its civil structures, including the beautiful Roxy Plaza Hotel, which many of you know very well, especially those who have been as lucky as to have stayed there in the past years. The refurbishing of this prestigeous hotel - the only "four stars" of our area - has been ended in June 2011, very much in advance compared to the previously estimated time. It has has been upgraded in its structure and services, therefore now it can offer more comfort to those of you and our guests who will stay there. This said, following our tradition of guest care, “Soave 2012” will offer our visitors an accurate booking service, giving a large selection of options which include the visit to the guitar exhibition, the concerts, the clinics, hotel accomodation at special fares, and Saturday evening gala dinner with our special guests. We'd like to give you a chance to enjoy an unforgettable weekend.
As usual, we made agreements with the best hotels in the area. These are: "Roxy Plaza" (central Soave, just our of the medieval walls, www.hotelroxyplaza.it), "Cangrande" (1.5 Km. from central Soave, on the SS. 11, toward Verona. www.hotelcangrande.it), "Soave Best Western" (2 Km. from central Soave, on the SS. 11, towards Vicenza. www.bestwestern.it), "Bareta" (on the SS. 11, ca. 6 Km. from central Soave, towards Verona. www.hotelbareta.it), "Relais Villabella", ca. 2 Km. south of Soave, after crossing SS. 11. www.relaisvillabella.it ), "Hotel Brusco" (on the SS. 11, ca. 6.5 Km. from central Soave, towards Verona. www.hotelbrusco.it ), "Agriturismo Montetondo", (1,5 Km. from central Soave, on the road to Monteforte. www.montetondo.it).
We can offer you the same rates for "Cangrande", "Soave Best Western", "Bareta", "Brusco", and "Montetondo", whilst for "Roxy Plaza" and "Relais Villabella" we must charge a little extra fee, as you can see below. All these hotels all are very good and comfortable.
The hotel accomodation includes "room + morning breakfast (buffet)".
