Villa Gallici Deciani is a magnificent 17th century Italian Villa in the region of Friuli, Northern Italy where the Alps kiss the sea. It’s the perfect stage for your special day, little escape or social gathering.
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Villa Gallici Deciani
Located within a beautiful landscape of rolling hills, olive groves, woodlands and spectacular views of the Alps. As you can imagine throughout the past three centuries many events have happened here and around every corner there is another story waiting to be discovered. The Villa and grounds can be seen as a real-life Italian version of Downton Abbey offering guests authentic aspects of the Friuli region and its hospitable people. I’m sure your stay will be filled with memories and local delicacies such as the Villa’s homemade honey!
Villa Gallici Deciani really is the idyllic setting for the most important day of your lives. The local Church is just a 2 minute walk away through the grounds if you’d like a ceremony and reception experience together or we also offer options to tie the knot on the tree-lined hillside or within the gardens. Your day will be filled with love and laughter with your friends and family by your side. Children will have plenty of room to play in the 45 acre grounds and in the evening you can entertain and dance the night away in exclusive comfort.
The Villa offers a range of rooms with different personalities for couples, friends or families to enjoy. A relaxed atmosphere is always found whether you choose to stay in the main Villa, the adjoining guest houses or barchessa. After you’ve settled, you can explore the 45 acre grounds to find the woodlands, river, olive groves, honey bees, bunnies, goats and swimming pool. There is also a lot on offer on the Villa’s doorstep from golf courses, hike routes, bike trails and vineyards – you’ll be spoiled for choice!
Villa Gallici Deciani is perfectly suited to host a range of events. We offer many rooms that hold hundreds of guests as well as outdoor spaces dotted around the 45 acre estate such as the pine tree grove and private swimming pool. Events we have seen in the past range from concerts, family reunions, networking days, business workshops and film shoots. The secluded nature of the Villa’s location coupled with its rustic charm offer any group a memorable occasion.
The Villa is set in a truly enviable location. You can be hiking on the Alps within 20 minutes or swimming in the Adriatic sea within 45 minutes. It has a host of local offerings from golf courses to vineyards and the famous Alpe Adria Cycle Trail where keen cyclists can cycle from Salzburg in Austria all the way to Grado in Italy. You can also experience short day trips to neighboring cities such as Venice, Trieste and Udine or the border area Collio, very famous for wine and typical food of the region. The Villa is only one hour from the skiing resorts of the Italian, Austrian and Slovenian Alps.
