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.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be close to Palmanova Outlet Village. The holiday home includes amenities such as a kitchen and 2 bathrooms.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and 2 bathrooms
  • 7 minutes by car from Palmanova Outlet Village and 9 minutes from Piazza Grande
3-House with fenced garden in a castle near the sea and 1 hour from Venice offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

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!

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.

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.

A Gorgeous,Tranquil Retreat, Full of History and Character
Castello Strassoldo is a true gem! We rented the Rice Mill and Casa la Vicinia for 10 members of our family and friends to stay for a week. It was a special week because we were bringing my mother-in-law back to Trieste for the first time since she left when she was 17 years old - which was more than 50 years ago. Our vacation week also included our wedding anniversary. The entire property is just gorgeous. It is beautifully maintained, and the grounds are full of flowers, ponds and birds. All of our bedrooms were beautifully appointed, spacious, and very comfortable. Everyone in our group raved about their rooms! The Rice Mill's living room and kitchen were lovely as well, and gave us ample room to cook, make cocktails, and share big dinners and lots of conversation. Because of some changes to people's schedules, we had only one guest use Casa la Vicinia for one night, but she loved it and it was gorgeous inside. When the other room in the casa wasn't able to be used as a bedroom due to changes in the local housing codes, Gabriella generously offered the castle tower room, which also had a beautiful sitting room and an enormous bathroom with walk-in shower. Our two guests who stayed there loved it! Gabriella and her staff were thoughtful, generous, attentive and truly lovely. Nidia was our main contact, and she was exceptionally kind and helpful throughout our entire week. Gabriella and Nidia generously offered to cook and present our anniversary dinner party, which took them two days to prepare. It was held in the castle, and it looked so beautiful! The food was delicious, and Tomasz prepared the best cocktails. It was a very special evening and we were very grateful for their thoughtful attention to all the details - down to the beautiful fresh cut flowers from the garden. All of this was even more remarkable given the fact that Gabriella had thrown her back out that week and was in a lot of pain. She did everything possible to make our stay unique and memorable. I cannot thank Gabriella, Nidia, and Tomasz enough for their hospitality and their generosity. Grazie! Nicole

Verified traveller

We simply call the place The Castle! It was everything we hoped for and more!
Strassoldo was our jumping off point for trips to Maniago, Triesta and Venezia. Gabrielle and Nidia have worked very hard for many years to turn this place into a N. Italy paradise. Easy to reach Cervignano to catch the train. Great to come back to in the evenings. Comfortable and very clean. A walk back in time. Several small restaurants within a few minute walk. And, a very convenient small supermarket with everything you could want to take back to the castle to cook an evening meal. We shared our time there with close friends for week and really didn’t want to leave. Highly recommended, especially to get away from a 24/7 life style. We’ll be back. Grazie! Grazie! PS...Thanks for the wonderful breads!

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.

Perfect!!! Charming, beautifully restored.
We stayed at La Vicinia for 6 nights in late September. The place was charming and in a lovely ancient village with beautiful castle grounds to enjoy. We did day trips to Verona, Padua, Gorizia, and explored the Amarone, Collio, and area wine regions, and we ventured into Slovenia and Croatia to taste their wines too. The home has 2 beautiful bedrooms and 2 modern bathrooms, and a well equipped kitchen which we used every evening. The outdoor sitting area was our favorite place to eat and drink and visit with our hosts. We would recommend this property to anyone visiting the Veneto-Friuli region! Gratzi!

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!
