Fire at Villa Roma
A friend just called me to tell me she heard that Villa Roma burned down. She is not sure if it was the hotel or the Timeshares. Anyone have any news?

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

Frank,
I hope you are enjoying your vacation. I tried to find any updated information for you, but so far, all that I found was this post, from another site. There doesn't seem to be any mention of when they will be re-opened.
This article was in today's recordonline.com:
No keeping them down
Owners of fire-ravaged Villa Roma vow to rebuild - showing their faith in Sullivan County.
When the Villa Roma was ravaged by fire last week, it was easy to believe the worst: The hotel, one of only two of the old-time Borscht Belt resorts still thriving, would be forced to shut its doors forever. After all, much of the main building was destroyed - the lobby, the restaurant, the heart of the Callicoon resort. Who could blame the owners for calling it quits as so many others had, driven to throw in the towel by the dwindling Catskill crowd?
But while the embers still smoldered and hotel workers looked for rooms to house the resort's guests, general manager Paul Carlucci had this to say: We will rebuild. We will be back.
And, I found this article:
Hotel Is Still Open
By Dan Hust
CALLICOON — April 14, 2006 – Yes, according to hotel officials, the Villa Roma Resort remains open, although most activities are planned for the Club or outside.
To check on your event or to make a reservation, call 887-4880.
“Villa Roma wants to thank the responsive men and women of the Sullivan County EMS, fire and police departments for their valiant efforts, and we are thankful that our emergency systems ensured everyone’s safety. We will work diligently to reopen as soon as possible, keeping Villa Roma a popular resort and positive part of the county’s economy,” said management.Angela
