This residence is open to the public, offering
banqueting facilities and guest accommodation.
The re-styling was completed in the spring of 2004
in keeping with its original agricultural concern.
The villa is one of the few noble residences to
be still inhabited by the same family who commissioned
its construction over three hundred and fifty years
ago (The Earls of Lovaria).
The accommodation side of the business is
further linked with the other activities of the
Lovaria Family in the sector of vine growing,
including the production, sampling and direct
sales of quality wines and public catering, which
together complete the services offered to the
guests.
The Villa is situated just a few metres from
the main square of Pavia di Udine. It is a short
distance from Udine (9 km), the motorway exit
of Udine Sud (8 km) and the international airport
of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in the province
of Gorizia (35 km). This choice position makes
it easily accessible to everyone both from Italy
and abroad.
The central position of the Villa makes it an
ideal starting point from which to visit the whole
region, especially Friuli and makes it possible
to combine a historical artistic and wine-gastronomical
itinerary with cultural events and possible work
commitments, in a border area which is a meeting
point for and an interesting combination of the
traditional Latin, Germanic and Slavic cultures.
Immersed in the peaceful Friuli countryside,
the entire residential complex, surrounded by
an enormous park with age-old trees and enriched
by greenhouses, is subject to law (n. 1089),
that came into effect 1st June, 1939 under the
direction of the Ministry of Culture and Environment
which placed restrictions to safeguard the historical
and artistic interests of the area.
