We had a wonderful time at the Pileria in Strassoldo! The house, the garden, the very cosy beds, the tasteful furniture, the sounds of the well and the birds. And of course the very good communication with the most lovely hosts who fulfilled every wish. Thank you very much!

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.

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 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!

Beautiful spot

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.

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 Dream Vacation in Strassoldo - Unforgettable Stay at the Rice Mill

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.

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.

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.
