Location & what to see

The hotel occupies a unique position next to the Fortress of Castelmonte, the Marian sanctuary that overlooks the hills a few kilometers from Cividale del Friuli. The hamlet of Castelmonte, perched on a hill close to the border with Slovenia, retains a rural and devotional character, with vineyards and woods surrounding the historic building and its surroundings.

The nearest railway station is Cividale del Friuli, about 7 km away, while Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari Airport is 29 km away. Udine city center can be reached by car in about forty minutes, while Palmanova Outlet Village is about 39 km away and Fiere Gorizia 35 km away. For those arriving from Slovenia, the border at Salcano is about 38 km away. In the immediate surroundings there are several restaurants and cafés, including the AS Casa del Pellegrino restaurant just 40 meters away and Delizie e Curiosità di Tocco Bruna 100 meters away.

Guests can enjoy hiking and cycling along the trails of the Natisone Valleys, with views extending to the Julian Alps on clear days. In summer it is possible to visit Parco della Lesa, an adventure park about 5 km away, while the sanctuary and fortress, a pilgrimage destination since the Middle Ages, can be visited year-round. Couples particularly appreciate the tranquility of the area, while history enthusiasts can venture as far as Villa Rubini or the historic sites along the Slovenian border, in an area that is still off the beaten tourist path but rich in authentic scenery.
