3-House with fenced garden in a castle near the sea and 1 hour from Venice

CASA LA VICINIA: charming stone house with private garden in a thousand-year-old castle.

Immerse yourself in history in this evocative residence, part of one of Northern Italy's oldest private castles, located in one of Italy's most beautiful villages.
Casa La Vicinia is one of five exclusive charm residences within the castle, where historic allure meets modern comfort.

Spread across two levels, this enchanting house welcomes you on the ground floor with a spacious living room that doubles as a dining room, furnished with elegant period furniture and a comfortable relaxation area. The adjacent kitchen is fully equipped to meet all culinary needs. A characteristic arched portico opens onto your private fenced garden, a peaceful oasis where you can dine outdoors, relax on loungers, or prepare delicious barbecues.

Ascending to the first floor, you'll find an elegant open-space area with a double bed and a spacious double bedroom, both with private bathrooms. The rooms, furnished with care and attention to detail, offer everything needed for a comfortable stay.

The castle itself is an authentic architectural jewel that tells centuries of history. The main building connects through a suggestive arch to the Church of San Nicolò, while on the other side stands the ancient medieval tower. The gardens surrounding the complex are enchanting, crossed by crystalline spring streams that create an almost fairy-tale atmosphere.

The location is truly strategic: in an hour you can reach magical Venice, in just twenty minutes the golden beaches of Grado, and in a few minutes the ancient Roman Aquileia. Udine, Trieste, Slovenia, and Austria are all easily accessible, making this residence the ideal starting point for exploring one of Italy's most fascinating and still authentic regions.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia will amaze you with its treasures: you can taste fine wines in the renowned local wineries, cycle through picturesque rural villages, hike between sea, hills, and mountains, and savour the extraordinary local cuisine in numerous excellent restaurants. Here, each day becomes an opportunity to discover a territory rich in history, culture, and traditions, still preserved from mass tourism.

Your holiday in this historic residence will be an unforgettable experience, where past and present blend harmoniously to gift you moments of authentic relaxation and discovery.

Lovely, wonderful stay

We had an amazing time in Strassoldo. One of our favourite short term stays we have had. The unit was spotelessly clean, and had all the conveniences you could think of. The castle of Strassoldo is very interesting to wander around, and the town is centrally located for many daytrips. We loved it!

The King (and Queen) of the Castle

We had a wonderful week in Strassoldo. The house was extremely comfortable with a small but perfectly serviceable kitchen. The bedrooms were large and bright with very comfortable beds, The outdoor area is beautiful and a wonderful place to wander with a glass of wine in the evening. The are two restaurants and an excellent little grocery store just around the corner. Nidia was charming, sweet and very attentive. Even though she didn't speak a word of English we got along famously.

Lovely Village Stay

Castello Di Strassoldo is a lovely spot, not fancy but comfortable and well equipped, in a unique and special setting. The owner Gabriella and helper Nidia are wonderful and it is clear that you are staying somewhere with tremendous history and charm. The castle complex is fascinating and the morning and hourly bells from the small church remind you regularly that you are in a bit of a fantasy land! There is not much to the town other than a small grocery store, a pharmacy and a post office but that's really all you need! Except, of course, a truly wonderful bar called BarBagianni (you will understand the name when you get there!) that is run by a lovely group of women and seems to be the social center of the town. It is a vibrant place that made our stay perfect.

A beautiful step back in time!!!

Our week in Strassoldo at La Vicinia was perfect! Beautiful gardens, cobblestone walkways, a river complete with water wheel, traditional foods in the quaint village restaurants, church bells, and a roomy two bedroom, two bathroom castle apartment all contributed to our desire to return as soon as possible. Our host, Gabriella, and her dear assistant, Nidia, made us feel like we were visiting family rather than Americans they had never met. The village is located within very close access to beach communities, historical villages with noted early Roman mosaics and ruins, wineries, Venice, the lagoons of the Adriatic, and other areas of interest. Yet, the village and the castle are an oasis of peacefulness and beauty.

Great location - could use more personal attention

We spent a week here, and loved the location and the apartment. There was a lot to see and do in the area, as long as you had a car, and there were restaurants within walking distance of the apartment. The apartment was clean and nicely decorated, with a lovely outdoor sitting area. Our only complaints: - the owner had three very large dogs who roamed freely in close proximity to our outdoor space. We love dogs, but they defecated profusely. The owners cleaned it up every couple of days, but it detracted from our enjoyment of the area. - the person who greeted us on arrival could not speak English at all, so it made it difficult to understand where we were supposed to go, where to park the car, etc. The instructions that were provided to us prior to arrival were difficult to understand. - Gabriella (the owner) said she was looking forward to meeting us, but despite her assurances that she would be there to greet us, we didn't meet her until the day before our departure. By then, it was too late to visit the various sites that she recommended to us.

La Vicinia, Home with Garden in Castle

This property is utterly amazing! If you are looking for a romantic getaway in Northeast part of Italy, you have found your place! The property manager is highly responsive, very friendly, and fluently speaks and understands several different languages...including perfect English. The property itself has recently been completely renovated and both the home and surrounding gardens are immaculately kept. The home and castle environs offer visitors an "old world" feel, but yet with all the modern conveniences including very fast (and reliable!) WiFi, satellite (and local, over-the-air) television...as well as air conditioning (which we didn't need for our stay in early Fall). The home is also located near enough to the Italian Autostrata to be convenient to get to, but yet far enough "off the beaten path" (in a small town) to still afford visitors peace and quiet. The home is within easy walking distance of a well-stocked grocery store and Trattoria (restuarant), and just a few Km's drive from a number of excellent, up-scale restaurants. Larger supermarkets in both Palmanova and Cervignano are also just a short drive away. Roman ruins at Aquileia and beaches at Grado are located a few Km's South while the beautiful Dolomite Alps mountains of Italy (and the Julian Alps of Slovenia) are just a few hours drive to the North and/or East. Trains to and from Venice are easily accessible via the IialiaRail train station close by in Cervignano. All in all, this property affords a great place to relax and unwind, while also offering "old world" charm and a central location for some fantastic Italian sightseeing for those so inclined. We will most certainly be back!

Charmantes Steinhaus

Wir wurden von der liebenswuerdigen Nidia, einer guten Flasche Cabernet und selbstgebackenem Brot in der Casa VICINIA im Borgo Strassoldo nett empfangen. Das Haus ist gross genug fuer 4 Personen und mit einem Mix aus antiken -und Stilmoebeln individuell eingerichtet. Von hier aus lassen sich Städte und Küste schnell erkunden. Da das Haupthaus normal bewohnt wird, ist es leider nur nach Anmeldung ab 20 Personen mit Fuehrung zu sehen; die Gaeste haben jedoch Zutritt zu beiden Gärten.

Gelungener Urlaub

Wir haben in den 10 Tage in "La Vicinia" im Schloß von Strassoldo einen wunderschönen Urlaub verbracht. Die Wohnung ist vorbildlich restauriert, schön eingerichtet und sehr gepflegt. Ein Traum war die Loggia hinter dem Haus zu unserem Garten hin. Hier konnte man ungestört und unabhängig vom Wetter sitzen, sich entspannen und essen. Allerdings sollte in der Küche, bei einer Ferienwohnung dieser Preisklasse, manches erneuert und ergänzt werden; so gab es z.B. nur zwei Weingläser, die durch langen Gebrauch schon trüb und abgeschabt waren - nicht sehr appetitlich. Wissen sollten Gäste, daß die kleine Kirche der Burg, direkt neben der Wohnung, morgens um sieben Uhr Sturm läutet. Vorbereitet sein sollte man auch auf die Unmengen von Mücken und sich ausreichend Mittel mitbringen. Ansonsten sind alle Angaben in der Beschreibung richtig. In Strassoldo selbst findet man alles, was man braucht: einen kleinen Supermarkt, zwei Bars, mehrere Restaurants. Und über das Friaul brauchen wir nicht mehr zu sagen als: die Reise hierher lohnt sich. Es war ein wirklich schöner Urlaub, und die schöne Wohnung hatte daran einen großen Anteil!

Een unieke ervaring. Verblijf in een "borgho" uit de middeleeuwen, maar voorzien van modern comfort

De woning die wij huurden is een authentiek onderdeel van de "borgho", met muren van een halve meter dik, zonder opvallende veranderingen sinds oude tijden. Buitengewoon smaakvol gerestaureerd en aangekleed. Electriciteit, warm water, verwarming, keukeninrichting, internet enzovoort zijn aangelegd volgens de moderne maatstaven maar zonder op te vallen. De prachtige tuin is een juweel en heerlijk om te mogen gebruiken. Een prachtige uitvalsbasis om per auto dit bijzondere stuk Italië te verkennen, maar ook prima om een mooie dag rond het huis door te brengen.
