Palazzo Lantieri

Top choice in Friuli Venezia Giulia

LoginSave

This palazzo-stay offers light, spacious rooms in the main house or self-catering apartments in former farm buildings, all overlooking a glorious Persian-styled garden. Goethe, Kant and Empress Maria Theresa were repeat guests back in the day. Antiques fill both public and private spaces, but the charming Lantieri family are far from stuck in the past.

Their contemporary art commissions mean there's a Michelangelo Pistoletto on the ceiling and a Jannis Kounellis in the attic. Non-guests can arrange guided tours.
