“The restaurant had the best prosciutto I’ve ever had, bonus that it was homemade! Very friendly staff and lovely rooms. The San Martin tourist center is right across the street which was convenient for e-bike rental to nearby vineyards.”

We take great joy in welcoming guests to our homestead and ensuring they have a memorable experience. Located between the hills and the Friuli plain, our property offers stunning views and a refreshing breeze that makes it the perfect place to relax.
