About this property

Lovely stone home with garden, in a castle near beach and 1 hour from Venice - 3

Casa La Vicinia is situated in one of the oldest private castles of northern Italy. The owners have lovingly restored three beautiful stone homes supplying them with all comforts.

It has its own private garden, closed with a fence in order to guarantee the privacy of the guests, who also have access to the gardens of the castle.

On the ground floor there is a dining/living area with a bed-sofa, armchair, several chairs, carpet, desk, small tables, cupboard, sat-tv, wooden table and chairs, drawer.
There is also a fully equipped kitchen.
From the dining/living area you have access on a lovely arched portico and on the garden for al fresco resting and eating. There are a wooden table and chairs, a round table with chairs, a BBQ and deckchairs.

On the first floor there are:
-a vast open space area with double bed and a
-a large double room.
Both open space area and double room have a cupboard, drawer, bedside tables, chairs, desk, mirror, carpet and each have their own bathroom with shower, sink, bidet and wc

All efforts have been made to offer a wonderful stay.

The castle complex is formed by the main building, surrounded by a series of beautiful stone buildings once used as guards’ houses, administrative and judicial centre, stables, artisan workshop, granaries, archives, rice mill and tower.

On one side the main building is connected by an arch to the church of St. Nikolaus, formerly castle’s chapel which was donated to the village (catholic masses on Sundays) and on the other side there is the ancient tower.

The setting is really beautiful and the whole is surrounded by lovely gardens, crossed by spring-water streams and rivers.

Strassoldo is a precious gem of a lovely and still unknown region which is not overrun by tourists. In fact, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, has many important historical sites, a lovely nature with many different wonderful landscapes ranging from high mountains, through rolling hills and green plains to rock or sand beaches.

The castle is situated in a very central position from where it is easy to reach all these attractions.
Only to mention a few, #Venice is reachable in 1 hour's drive, the ancient Roman colony of Aquileia (the second biggest colony of Rome) in 10 minutes, the golden beach of Grado in 20 minutes, the beautiful town of Udine in 30 minutes, the marvellous Adriatic Gulf with the town/port of Trieste in 38 minutes, Slovenia in 35 minutes and Austria in 60 minutes.

The guests can relax, make very nice walks in the Friulan countryside, go biking through cute little rural villages, go swimming in the nearby Adriatic Sea and make nice day excursions to many interesting regional sites and towns.

The region also offers the possibility to taste excellent Friulan wines and food.

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!

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

Castello di Strassoldo Urlaub in Italien
Ein liebevolles Landhaus hat uns erwartet. Der engl. Garten - Park ist herrlich. -Ein Rifugium--Die Hausherrin und das gesamte Personal, waren aufmerksam undlLiebevoll. Das Appartement ist mit Liebe eingerichtet und mit allem was benötigt wird. Unter dem Vordach des "Vincinia" kann man ganzjährig sitzen und den Urlaub geniessen. In der Nähe gibt es Tavernen und beste Fisch und Fleisch Gastronomie. Der Schlossgarten lädt zum Wandeln ein und es ist ein tierfreundliches Haus. Wir kommen wieder!!! Arriverderci...

Perfekter, romantische Erholung im Schloss
Wir verbrachten eine Woche in dieser wunderschönen Ferienwohnung. Sie bietet alles, was man zu einem perfekten Uralub braucht: sehr gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, blitzsauber, gemütliches Wphnzimmer und sehr ruhige, schöne Schlafzimmer, beide mit sehr gut ausgestatteten Badezimmern. Die Ferienwohnung liegt eingebettet in einem Schlßareal, direkt neben einer kleinen Kirche. Vom Wohnzimmer aus hat man den Blick und Zugang auf eine große Terrasse und den parkartigen Schlossgarten. Einkaufen kann man in einem kleinen Supermarkt, der nach einem kurzen Spaziergang durch das Schlossgelände erreicht wird. Schöne Küstenorte sind ganz in der Nähe, Triest und Venedig nicht weit. Strassoldo ist der perfekte Ort um Entspannung und die Besichtigung schöner interessanter Plätze miteinander zu verbinden. Die Gastgeberin ist ausgesprochen freundlich und der Aufenthalt insgesamt nur erfreulich und bleibt in bester Erinnerung. Vielen Dank, wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

About the host

Hosted by Gabriella W. di Strassoldo

Host profile image
Gabriella Williams di Strassoldo is the current owner of the castle of Strassoldo di Sopra.
Her mother inherited her family's estate in awful conditions in the Sixties. The place belongs the counts of Strassoldo since it was built more than a thousand years ago. Like her mother, Lella felt obliged to look after the complex and helped her mother as much as possible since she was very Young, so the two of them alone dedicated their life to the maintenance and restoration of the castle.
The lack of money and aid forced them to face many difficulties, but year after year there were improvals and the complex has now acquired its ancient beauty.
The complex is formed by a central building and a series of houses once used for administrative and rural purposes, the whole is surrounded by centuries old gardens washed by spring water courses. Many parts of the complex were complete total ruins up to 20 years ago.
Gabriella grew up in Britain, Germany, Austria and Italy and speaks fluent English, French, German and Italian. She, therefore, brought her experience and different mentality to Friuli-Venezia Giulia, implementing many touristic activities that involved also other castles of the Region.
She organised many fund raising activities (exhibitions, visits, weddings, workshops, presentations, etc.) with the aim to carry out the heavy restoration works.
After renovating many parts of the main building of the castle and its garden, she brought back the Archives, which had been sold by her grandfather, in 2001, and immediately started restoring its ground floor and garden. In 2009 the the rice mill, which had partially collpased was also restored and turned into bed and breakfast, with four double rooms, which are open from mid April to mid November.
In 2012 the guards' houses and the Vicinia, which had collapsed, were restored and turned into holiday homes. There are now three lovely self catering and independent Holiday homes, each with its own garden.
