Villa Genziana is a guest house in Ovaro, in the province of Udine, about 3.6 km from Mount Zoncolan and 23 km from the Arta Terme spa. The property stands out for its garden with sun terrace, free private parking and a family atmosphere typical of the Carnic Alps.
The rooms, all with independent entrance and private bathroom with bidet and slippers, offer garden or mountain views and sizes between 16 and 22 m². Some types, such as the Triple Room and the Deluxe Room with an added single bed, are designed to accommodate up to three people, while the Double Room remains the most intimate option for two guests.
Guests can enjoy a continental or Italian breakfast, room service, luggage storage and common spaces such as the picnic area and the tennis court. The area, especially appreciated by couples for its location, is a point of reference for hikers in summer and skiers in winter, thanks to its proximity to the Zoncolan ski facilities.

Villa Genziana is located in the hamlet of Liariis, in the municipality of Ovaro, in the heart of the Carnic Alps of Friuli. The area retains a rural, mountain character, with a quiet setting surrounded by woods and meadows, away from the busiest tourist traffic and close to small local spots such as Al Feralut, about 600 meters away, and Matoga Cafè, just over a kilometer away.
Mount Zoncolan, one of the most famous climbs in Italian cycling and the area’s main ski resort, is just 3.6 km from the property, while the Arta Terme spa can be reached in about 23 km. The Intercommunal Park of the Carnic Hills, a protected natural area, is about 9 km away and is a popular destination for walks and nature watching. For those arriving by car, the Val Degano state road connects Ovaro with Tolmezzo and the rest of Carnia in a short time.
The location works well both in summer and winter: in the warm season, the trails around Zoncolan and the Carnic Hills offer hiking routes of varying difficulty, while in winter the Zoncolan ski facilities attract skiers from across the region. In the shoulder months, the area is also frequented by cyclists tackling the climb made famous by the Giro d’Italia. The proximity to small Carnic villages also makes it possible to discover local gastronomy, among mountain huts and dairy products typical of the Val Degano.
