Lovely country house with garden, in castle not far from Venice and beach

This fantastic ancient stone building was an ancient rice mill and is situated in the heart of the castle complex and is surrounded by lovely gardens and streams.

In the period April - October It it rented as a self catering accommodation for maximum 8 people (4 double rooms), for a minimum of 4 days.
From October to April it is closed as the heating costs are too high

Well educated and clean dogs are welcome

The 4 rooms are situated on the first floor.
Each room has a different color and are beautifully equipped with hand-painted furniture, wooden beams and floors, curtains, carpets, air conditioning and private bathroom with sink with green glass surface, WC and whirl bathtub with shower enclosure.
On the groundfloor there are a nice entrance, an equipped kitchen and a very big dining / sitting room, where there are still the ancient stones used for peeling the rice.
The mill has access to the castle's lovely garden and it is possibile to organise a BBQ and breakfasts outside, where there is outdoor furniture.

One of the best experiences of my life
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.

Perfect setting for exploring the wine country!
The rice mill house was perfect for our group of three couples. Everyone had their own bed and bath plus a huge living room and adquate kitchen for breakfast. The outdoor space in the garden was particulary nice.

Perfect Authentic Italy Get Away
Wonderful, unique (in the best way) stay. The Rice Mill exceeded our expectations. It was clean, cool, and larger than expected. We expected it to be a bit hot, but between the air conditioner and stone building, it was cool on the hottest day of the summer. Gabriella speaks perfect English, and was a wonderful, communicating host. The place is situated close to many great spots, including a train ride to Venice or Triest. Highly recommend!

A Gorgeous,Tranquil Retreat, Full of History and Character
Ten of our family and friends spent a week at Castello Strassoldo, which is a gorgeous property that Gabriella has lovingly restored and maintained. We rented both the Rice Mill and Casa la Vicinia. All of our guests loved their rooms - which were beautifully decorated and featured well-appointed private bathrooms. Because of a recent local zoning change, one of the bedrooms in Casa la Vicinia was unable to be used, so Gabriella kindly offered the Tower Room in the castle. Our two friends who shared that space were blown away by its beauty. It also had a sitting room and a huge walk-in shower. They truly raved about it! Our friend who stayed in Casa La Vicinia was impressed with her lodging, and wished she could stay the entire week. We cooked and spent most of our group time at dinner in the Rice Mill, which was a wonderful space to spread out and enjoy our time together. The outdoor patio also was lovely, and overlooked gorgeous grounds and a pond. There were birds, butterflies and flowers everywhere! One of the last nights of our stay was our wedding anniversary. Gabriella offered to cater our celebration, and she and Nidia spent two days preparing our wonderful meal. She offered the use of the castle main room and patio, which she decorated with fresh-cuts flowers and candles. It was gorgeous! The food was delicious, and Tomasz made lovely prosecco cocktails. Gabriella typically does not cater events, so this was a very generous gesture - especially because she had hurt her back earlier that week and was in considerable pain. Grazie, Gabriella! Nidia was wonderful, and our main contact at the Rice Mill. She is a warm, caring and helpful person. She helped make our stay memorable - especially because she bonded so closely with my mother-in-law, who grew up in Trieste and was returning to this region for the first time in more than 50 years. Castello Strassoldo is a very special place, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to other travelers. You will experience a true piece of Italy, with genuine, warm, hospitality.

Truly special and spectacular!
We spent 5 glorious days at La Pileria in Strassoldo and can't speak highly enough about the whole experience. Having left there a week ago, we haven't stopped talking about it. The grounds of the Castello are breathtaking, the bedrooms and living space at La Pileria were spacious, comfortable and beautifully appointed, the coffee and breakfasts that were served every morning were delicious, and most of all our wonderful hosts, Gabriella and the lovely Needia were so warm and welcoming. My parents (both in their 70's and seasoned travelers) commented that Strassoldo is one of the most incredible places they have ever been - a truly once in a lifetime experience - though we very much hope to return one day to share with other friends and family. Thank you to Gabriella for making such a wonderful and unique property available and thank you to Needia for taking such good care of us during our stay.

A home away from home!
Our stay at the Rice Mill more than exceeded our expectations. The Castile de Strassoldo was a beautiful place. The gardens were spectacular. We are very thankful to Nedea who greeted us and baked us a delicious loaf of bread in the morning (not to mention teaching our daughter how to make it). We had a very relaxing time while at the Castle. There was so much to explore in the area (wineries, beaches, ruins, etc). We loved visiting the local supermarket each morning. We hope to return some day. Thank you to Gabrielle for sharing her home with us!

Verliebt in Strassoldo
Unser diesjähriger Urlaub mit Freunden (7 Personen) stand unter einem besonders guten Stern. Mühle und Park haben unsere Erwartungen bei weitem übertroffen. Ein zauberhafter Ort mit ganz besonderem Flair. Auch die kulinarischen Restaurant-Tipps unserer „Empfangsdame“ und ihr selbst gebackenes Begrüßungsbrot waren überaus überzeugend. Herzlichen Dank für die wundervollen Tage, die wir in Strassoldo verbringen durften!

Tolle Unterkunft
Beschreibung auf Fewo trifft voll zu. Das wunderbare Haus liegt in ruhiger Lage. Insbesondere der großartige Schlosspark machte den Aufenthalt auch an heißen Tage sehr erträglich. Vom Trubel an der Küste ist nicht zu spüren. Aber wer will kann in 30 Minuten in Grado oder in 40 Minuten in Triest sein. Die Schlossherrin ist gern bereit etwas über die Geschichte von Strassoldo zu erzählen - wenn man möchte.

una vacanza indimenticabile
è veramente indimenticabile il nostro soggiorno a Strassoldo al punto che non vediamo l'ora di tornarci.Siamo un gruppo di 5 amici che ha occupato tutta la struttura per otto giorni.Oltre all'ampiezza degli ambienti,la cura dei dettagli,la ricchezza di accessori e complementi,siamo stati colpiti dalla serenità del posto e dall'atmosfera che regna nel borgo.La vicinanza di trattorie tipiche raggiungibili anche in bicicletta è impagabile.Le gite quotidiane,da Spilimbergo a Grado,da Udine a Muggia riempiono le giornate di esperienze storiche,artistiche,paesaggistiche e gastronomiche.Veramente una bella esperienza da ripetere!
