Friuli I Italy villas

With such an incredible landscape, Friuli makes a great backdrop for outdoor activities. This really is a paradise for anybody interested in active pursuits like hiking, cycling and golf. The vast and safe ocean is ideal for water sports such as sailing, surfing, swimming and scuba diving. Of course, an active holiday doesn’t have to involve sports – with a number of historic attractions, like fantastic castles, self-catering in Friuli will keep you busy with sightseeing during your stay. Or alternatively, just sit back and soak up the sunshine at your Italian country cottages with hot tubs or swimming pools for ultimate rest and relaxation.

The regional capital is Trieste, which you should not miss during your stay at Italian holiday rentals in Friuli. The region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia formerly belonged to the Austrian Habsburg Empire and the port of Trieste was an important access to the sea for trade and travel. The ambient port with its elegant neoclassical buildings is not the only sight worth seeing in this cultural hotspot. Rent a holiday home near Trieste and see Roman remains of a forum and basilica, the 15th century fortified castello, and the incredibly interesting Museum of History and Art. If Italian history and culture is something of interest on your self-catering holidays, then be sure to visit Trieste in Friuli.

The coast of Friuli-Venezia Giulia region is very exciting and varied a location for villas in Italy. From the sandy beaches between Grado and Lignano it extends over a cliff to small bays to the east towards Trieste and the Slovenian border. Similar to the neighbouring Veneto, there are kilometres of sandy beaches, entertainment and activities widely available right by your villas in Italy. The fine, sandy coastline is family-friendly and well-equipped to ensure a relaxing holiday lettings break for people of every age. Indulge in sunbathing or take a refreshing dip in the clear sea before enjoying a colourful sunset sinking below the waves.

Grado is an excellent location for your next Italian holiday homes. In the town, there is a causeway over a kilometre long which takes you to serene and beautiful lagoon. There is a pleasant old town, and from the centre to the east, a long sandy beach stretches out. The only truly accessible beach area in Grado is the Costa Azzurra, but this can become incredibly crowded in summer. Like the beaches in Lignano, those in Grado are extremely flat and therefore ideal for family holidays. Those wishing to explore Friuli-Venezia Giulia in a more adventurous manner can also rent a costal villa and take a boat trip out on the water.

The biggest beach in the region of Friuli is located in Lignano, where you can spend your self-catering holidays. For those who prefer a little variety with the family holiday you can spend the day at the amusement park Aqua Splash, Luna Park or Gulliverlandia. There is even a delightful zoo there, which makes for unforgettable moments whilst staying at self-catering Italy, especially for children. As one of the main tourist resorts for Italians themselves, you can guarantee that this is trusted by locals. Enjoy a relaxing time at the marina and dock, watching boats pass or relaxing at your apartments in Italy.

Some 20 km inland from Lignano is the small town of Latisana. This is worth a trip during your stay at NOVASOL villas or apartments in Italy. The San Giovanni Battista church there contains a valuable panel painting, whilst the nearby village of Palazzolo is also very attractive. The course of the river is wonderful for walking and cycling holidays, with many old water mills and warehouses to use as landmarks along the way. The highlight has to be Duino Castle, which proudly overlooks the Gulf of Trieste. Find yourself spoiled for choice at your holiday lettings, whether you are seeking an active, cultural or restful holiday.
