Nestled in the charming setting of Val Colvera, Poffabro is listed in the Club of the 30 most beautiful villages in Italy, for its enchanting, simple and austere architectural elements. The stone houses, clustered together, form a delightful village where it is nice to get lost in its narrow streets, walking under the arches and end up in one of the several internal courtyards. On Christmas time, Poffabro offers a nice walk through small nativity scenes set up in alleys, courtyards and niches.

Andreis and Erto - Vajont

These are a marvellous example of the fascinating nature, culture and landscape of Valcellina.

Villa Manin di Passariano (Codroipo)

The ancient town destroyed by the 1976 earthquake, has been rebuilt exactly as it was in medieval times when it was at the height of its splendour, thanks to the persistence and hard work of the Friuli people. Declared a national monument, it is one of the finest examples of artistic renovation.

Sauris

In Sauris, a marvellous village of German origin, you stay in mountain-style houses in stone and wood. Here you will have to give in to the temptation of its exquisite prosciutto crudo.

These hams are ideally served with the beers brewed in the Sauris di Sopra beer factory.
