Incredibly lovely spot in this old complex of a castle. The mill is spacious and cool in the heat- just lovely. Gardens are splendid especially the access across the yard to the river. All bedrooms are huge and between them would swallow up 10 people easily, along with the massive communal area. Each room has enough space to work, if you wished. Plenty of outside seating too. Locally there is an excellent shop, two bars and a wine shop/ wine bar which opens at weekends, and a pizzeria ( fun on a Saturday- try it!). All are one minute walk. Various wineries in walking/ bike distance. Incredibly easy access to sea and mountains. We have been to Venezia and Ljubljana before so skipped these for Trieste on the train but all are easy distance. The train, 10 mins by car, can get you to all of them at low cost and no parking! Host and lovely caretaker lady were absolutely lovely and helpful. I’ve stayed in a lot of Italian properties and this was the most characterful and well placed. May come again. Oh and Udine and Gorizia are beautiful.

The house was truly extraordinary. For a start, the location is exceptional. It's like staying in a piece of history, and actually you do. The stream rushing past the mill, the romantic garden (more like a small park), picturesque streets ...The house itself is decorated with great attention to historical details; the rooms are spacious and tastefully furnished, with good beds and air-conditioned, bathrooms in classic style but with modern technology (whirlpool baths).The welcome was also warm, with freshly baked bread. Always there was a quick and warm response to our questions. Don't hesitate, just book.

We had the most wonderful summer vacation staying at the beautiful old rice mill in Strassoldo Castle. It was our second time there, and it was the perfect setting for our family of six. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.The house itself is beautifully restored and tastefully decorated, with a perfect balance of historic charm and modern comfort. The four bedrooms are incredibly comfortable, each thoughtfully furnished – and the absolute luxury is that every bedroom has its own private bathroom, which made our stay even more relaxing and convenient.The garden was simply breathtaking, a peaceful oasis where we spent many relaxing moments. But what truly made our stay unforgettable were the hosts, Gabriella and Nidia. They are such warm-hearted, kind people who went above and beyond to make our stay as perfect as possible. They took care of all our needs with incredible care and attention, always with a smile and a positive attitude.Gabriella’s genuine passion for making her guests feel at home is remarkable. You can truly feel how much she cares about creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. She makes sure that every guest feels like home.This was, without a doubt, the most exceptional hospitality we have ever experienced, and we are already dreaming of our next stay in this magical place. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly special and memorable vacation.

This property is in a little town in Northern Italy that we chose so we could get to Trieste, Venice, Croatia and Slovenia all is less than one hour driving. The accommodations were so authentic and very well appointed. We loved the small village, the restaurants there as well as the winery. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Italy. We all loved the home and the people that ran it. Such a beautiful and safe environment.
