Relais Picaron is a 3-star hotel located on a hill just outside San Daniele del Friuli, the town famous for its San Daniele Prosciutto, about 20 km from Udine.
The building has historical roots, having once been a hunting lodge linked to the Patriarchate of Aquileia, and today it retains this authentic character within a large green estate. The property houses a brasserie with quick service open even to non-guests, a conference centre for up to 100 people and two tennis courts, making it suitable for both business travellers and tourists seeking tranquillity.
The 35 rooms, decorated in Austrian style by local craftsmen, offer a warm and intimate atmosphere, with private bathroom, air conditioning and flat-screen TV; several look out onto the garden or the surrounding mountains. Free parking, complimentary WiFi and an Italian buffet breakfast complete an offer designed for those seeking a break in Friuli away from city bustle, with views over the countryside and San Daniele during the summer months.
Relais Picaron offers four room types, all air-conditioned and equipped with private bathroom, flat-screen TV and minibar, designed to suit different needs, from solo stays to families with children. Sizes range from 11 sqm for the Single Room to 20 sqm for the Triple Room, while bed choices range from double configurations to solutions with separate single beds, useful for those travelling in groups or with friends.
Many accommodations offer views of the garden or the mountains of Friuli, others look directly out over San Daniele, while the Triple Room in some cases has a private terrace. The furnishings, curated by local craftsmen in Austrian style, give the rooms a warm and homely feel, with parquet floors, wardrobe and heating included in every unit.
Overlooking the garden and the mountains of Friuli, the Double Room offers a flexible configuration: a large double bed or two single beds, to choose when booking. It is air-conditioned and equipped with satellite TV and minibar, with Austrian-style furnishings that echo the rural character of the estate.
At 20 sqm, it is the largest of the rooms at Relais Picaron, designed for small groups or families thanks to the combination of a double bed and a single bed. Some units feature a private terrace, a detail that sets it apart from the other room types, along with satellite TV and minibar.

Relais Picaron is located on a hill just outside San Daniele del Friuli, on a green estate that once housed a hunting lodge of the Patriarchate of Aquileia. The area retains a rural character, amid vineyards and historic prosciutto houses, and offers from the hotel’s patio a view that takes in the village and the surrounding Friulian countryside, particularly appreciated during the summer months.
The centre of San Daniele, with its characteristic prosciutto shops, is just a few minutes’ walk away: the Flame’n Co. restaurant is just 30 metres from the property, while Prosciutteria al Vecjo Batiram is about 900 metres away and Prosciutterie is 550 metres away. Villa Serravallo Park, ideal for a walk amid greenery, is about 1.1 km away, while the Rio dell’Acqua Caduta stream can be reached in about 4.7 km.

San Daniele is the ideal destination for those wanting to discover the gastronomic culture of San Daniele PDO Prosciutto, visiting the historic prosciutto houses in the town centre or taking part in guided tastings. During the warmer months, the surrounding hills can be explored by bike or on foot, among vineyards and farmhouses, while in winter the area is well suited for trips to the Carnic Prealps, not far from the centre. The proximity to Udine, just 20 km away, also makes it possible to combine a holiday in Friuli with cultural visits to the city, among historic squares and museums.
