Location & what to see

Locanda al Castello Wellness Resort occupies a former 19th-century monastery on the outskirts of Cividale del Friuli, in a quiet area a short distance from the historic centre and the Natisone river. The property’s furnished terraces open onto a view that takes in the city’s rooftops and the first hills of the Collio, a setting that combines residential calm with proximity to the city centre.

Cividale’s centre, with its medieval alleys, is about 1.5 km away, while the railway station is just over 1 km away. Udine is about a 25-minute drive by car, and for those arriving by plane, Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari airport is 30 km away. Within the immediate surroundings, less than a kilometre away, there are several dining spots such as Ristorante San Marco at 450 metres and Ristorante Giaiotto at 800 metres.
