An old, late-eighteenth century manor house in Variano, in the heart of the Friulian plain, has been turned into a guesthouse for your out-of-town stays, where tales and atmospheres of bygone days are cleverly mixed with the comforts and our amenities.
What an internet search can never reveal is the discreet charm of the places in this region. It is the rediscovery of a slow tourism, on a human scale, that enables you to appreciate the authenticity of an area and its community. It is the silence interrupted only by the symphony of the mountain streams in the enchanting Val D’Arzino, a destination for e-bikes, astrotrekking and canyoning, and an alternative to the celebrated beaches of Lignano and Grado. It is an exciting journey along the routes of the Great War, from Ragogna to Pinzano, among pre-war fortifications, emplacements and relics from the Battle of the Tagliamento. It is the majestic peace of the Stella river nature reserve, where amongst the reed beds you can admire mute swans, purple herons and the western marsh harrier. It is also festive toasting with the region´s wines in the many frasche and osmize scattered here and there; it is sampling a slice of the inimitable San Daniele cured ham; it is the festive music of a village festival, where you can sample frico and frittolin.
Our territory is this and much more.
Come and explore it with us.
Elegant, comfortable rooms enriched with refined details. The service provided by Massimiliano and Nadia is truly outstanding. The breakfast is stunning, just as shown in the photos. What can we say — everything was perfect. Many thanks to the hosts for their kindness and warm hospitality. Highly recommended!
Nadia and Massimiliano, mother and son, open the doors of their late 18th-century manor house to their guests. The rooms have been beautifully renovated and furnished with materials and pieces of the highest quality. They are wonderful hosts — kind, attentive, and always available — and they convey their love for what they do through the care and dedication they devote to every detail. The same attention is reserved for their guests, who are served excellent breakfasts on fine linen tablecloths.
I stayed at this property for five days, and it proved to be comfortable in every respect. The setting is tastefully curated down to the smallest detail, and the owners are welcoming hosts, always attentive and available. The breakfast fully lives up to the high standards of the rest of the experience. Congratulations!
