Hotel Ai Dogi occupies a privileged position on Piazza Grande, the central square of Palmanova, a fortified star-shaped town built by the Republic of Venice in the 16th century. The Cathedral is just 50 metres away, while the entire historic centre, with its well-preserved fortifications and bastions, can be reached on foot within a few minutes from the property.
Those arriving by car will find the Palmanova motorway exit on the A4 about 3 km away, while Palmanova railway station is about 950 metres away. Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari and Udine airports can be reached in about 20 minutes by car, making the hotel a convenient base for those moving between Friuli and Veneto; Venice Marco Polo Airport is just under 85 km away. Around the square there are several places for meals and breakfast, such as the Al Gambero restaurant and the Caffetteria Torinese, both about 50 metres from the hotel.
Besides visiting the star-shaped fortress, with its three rings of walls and monumental gates, the area offers several green spaces for walks, such as the Gonars Marshes about 7 km away, a nature reserve especially interesting in spring and autumn for birdwatching. In summer the surrounding Friuli countryside is well suited to cycling trips, while in the colder months Palmanova itself, with its historic cafés under the square’s arcades, remains a pleasant stop for those visiting the region.
