The Villa

The house follows the plan typical of late eighteenth-century Venetian villas: three floors above ground, a central hall running through the building, tall arched French windows and turned stone balustrades. On the walls and ceilings, original nineteenth-century stucco and frescoes; underfoot, eighteenth-century mosaic floors. The ground floor opens into the Salone Veneziano and the Sala dei Quadri, which can seat up to sixty each. Smaller rooms follow: the Stanza dei Putti holds a table of sixteen (or two of eight), the Stanza della Cantinetta one of four. The Stanza del fogolâr is left free: it can become a playroom for children during events, or a sitting room for adults, a place for quiet.

Standing apart from the Corpo dominicale, the Barchessa is a rural building in exposed stone with the plain lines typical of Friulian farm architecture; it was the granary and the stable of the estate.

Today the ground floor holds two large banqueting halls, seating up to one hundred and fifty people between them, and a professional kitchen. Upstairs are rooms furnished in country-house style, each with a private bathroom.

On the east side of the house stands the traditional Friulian fogolâr, still perfectly built in. The entrance, the irregular walls and the layout itself confirm the reuse of an earlier rural building, a mark of local identity.

The fogolâr predates the eighteenth-century villa by almost a century; it is therefore the oldest trace on the site.

On the ground floor, besides the halls, there are the reception and a bar corner with an espresso machine. A lift serves the upper floors, making the rooms and the halls reachable for guests with limited mobility.

There are two professional kitchens, one in the Corpo dominicale and one in the Barchessa; they allow a full banquet to be served without recourse to outside catering, which makes for easier logistics and menus tailored to you.
