All'Antica Scuderia Del Castello Villa Maiano

Review by hotel critic

A Tranquil Retreat in FriuliI recently spent four peaceful nights at APT Villa in Friuli, a region renowned for its rich history and delectable cuisine. As a wildlife conservationist and safari guide from Kenya, I often seek serene escapes, and this location fulfilled that need. From the moment I arrived, the attentive hostess made me feel at home, recommending hidden gems in the area and even securing a good reservation for my first dinner. My spacious room, equipped with air conditioning and blackout shades, ensured restful nights akin to a child’s slumber. The leisure facilities added to my rejuvenation. I enjoyed soothing foot massages by the seasonal outdoor pool, followed by relaxing on the sun loungers with a view of the surrounding mountains. The garden area provided a perfect backdrop for a serene barbecue evening, facilitating a connection with nature. With many local restaurants and attractions accessible within a short drive, a car is essential for exploration. I discovered authentic Italian flavors away from the bustling crowds. APT Villa is an ideal choice for those looking to unwind and discover Friuli's charm—an experience worthy of returning to each year.
