Hotels & Accommodation near Collio Livon Winery

Staying at Casa Ponca exceeded our expectations. Nestled in the oldest neighborhood of Cormons, our home for two months was very comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. Two important elements for us - beds and shower, were very nice.Luisella, our host, was so helpful. She responded to any inquiries we had about our place, suggested places to eat, day trips to take, and things to see and do. A vehicle is necessary. We chose the location carefully giving us the opportunity to explore a part of Italy rarely visited by tourists. And yet if we wanted to venture out, we were only an hour or two away from the Carnic Alps, Julian Alps, the Dolomites, or south to the Adriatic. Slovenia was four miles away; Croatia 2.5 hours away; Austria the same. Closer in, we took in the Roman ruins at Aquileia, a city day in Trieste, two nights in Venice. If we felt like staying closer at home, we enjoyed just hanging in the yard, or out visiting Cividale, Gorizia, and downtown Cormons. The broader area is covered in vineyards or beautiful deciduous forests. History buffs will love visiting WWI sites.Cormons and the surrounding communities have plenty of nice restaurants. It was fun to experience local cuisine that is quite different from the traditional Italian foods we come to expect. The wine in the area is exceptional!!!We were sad to leave Casa Ponca. Thank you, Luisella for teaching us the true meaning of “Dolce Far Niente,” the sweetness of doing nothing.
