A Touch of Splendour

Turkish rugs, accents of velvet, touches of gold, stylish furniture – this apartment is a plush hideaway high above the historical streets of Udine. Chic and comfortable, it's the perfect place to spend a romantic getaway.

We love the characteristic slanted ceilings, adding to this apartment's grand yet homely feel. Despite being a loft apartment, the home is anything but dark. The skylights usher in plenty of natural light, filling the whole home and dancing off the bright golden touches.

Below the apartment lies the charming Udine. Steep foot out of your front door and you'll be right on the beautiful canal pathway. Walk along it for just five minutes and you'll reach the historical Castello di Udine. For those wanting a taste of authentic Italy, away from the tourist crowds, Udine's quiet and sun-soaked streets will be perfect. With friendly locals, gorgeous food, plenty of museums and galleries, and more historical sites that you can count on two hands, you'll fall in love with this city,

After a day of exploring, head up to your terrace for an unforgettable sunset. Sip on a glass of wine as you watch the lowering sun shimmer on the winding canal below. On the other side of the terrace, you have a perfect view of the golden sun dip behind Castle Hill.
