Agriturismo Cjasal Fornasate In Povoletto

Two weeks where we particularly appreciated the kindness of Luca and Paul and their availability. Paul's excellent meals and his joy in sharing them.

I can only thank Luca and Paul for their hospitality, friendliness and humanity. A special experience, made up of cheerful evenings spent in company in a truly beautiful and welcoming structure. It was like being at home. Thanks to them our holiday in Friuli, a fantastic region, was even more exciting.

Tranquil Perfection! We just had a wonderful five days staying at the beautiful La Faula, I don’t normally write reviews but it was such a fantastic experience staying on Luca and Paul’s farm I thought I’d share our experience! A beautiful location away from the hustle and bustle of city life and big tourism. This place is a haven - recently changing to taking guests over 16 year old only means you’re guaranteed the best experience, tranquility and nature. We had great home cooked three course evening meals made often with local produce including their own eggs from some very happy chickens wandering about. Delightful breakfasts were simply prepared and most meals were served outside where you can socialise with other guests or not, whatever you wish! The outside space is charming but this is still definitely a working farm and not just for show. Vineyard are tended and the crop certainly produces fantastically tasty red and white wines that we enjoyed with our evening meal - well ok a few glasses were drunk under the lush vine canopy in the afternoons too! Luca’s blooms and gardens are delightful and reminiscent of an Italian renaissance painting with a pair of white peacocks wandering about. Our room was clean, uncomplicated and comfortable, just what we needed for our stay. We fell in love with Paul and Luca’s four VERY friendly dogs who entertained us almost as well as Paul’s stories and anecdotes did, we swam in the immaculate clean pool and all in all thoroughly unwound from our busy city lives. Tranquil Perfection. We did on one of the days drive early in the morning for an hour and a half to Venice and used the pre booked parking in the Autoremissa city car park. It was such an easy way of spending the day in beautiful Venice, getting there super early, beating the crowds and being able to walk easily from the car park but still knowing we were using an approved route. Local villages to the farm are wonderful and scenic and we also like the markets in Udine on Saturdays- a great recommendation from Paul! There’s so much to do locally and our stay at La Faula was amazing we’ll definitely be returning, hopefully very soon!
