Be sure to visit the wonderful region of Friuli Venezia Giulia on your next Italian vacation; it has a glorious coastline facing the Adriatic Sea. It borders Austria to the North, Slovenia to the East and the Italian region of Veneto on the west.

It sits almost in the centre of Europe and has always been an important trade route between central and Eastern Europe. There are four provinces in Friuli Venezia Giulia in Italy; Trieste, Gorizia, Pordenone and Udine.

Why not choose from a wide variety of gorgeous holiday villas in Friuli Venezia Giulia to base your stay at!

It is quite a mountainous region that grows hillier towards the coastline. This contributes to the two defined climates that Friuli Venezia Giulia experiences throughout the year; in the lower rolling hills and coastline, the weather is mild and warm. In the mountains, the air is colder as it is forced upwards when it comes face to face with the regions tall peaks. This creates lots of clouds that eventually lead to rainfall in the area surrounding the mountainous area.

In the very north of Italy, bordering Austria and Switzerland is the scenic region of Trentino Alto Adige. It is home to the Dolomites, a scenic mountain range that has been awarded the UNESCO World Heritage Site status.

Trentino Alto Adige has only two provinces; Trento (Trentino) and Bolzano (South Tyrol). Tourists have a wealth of stunning villa rentals in Trentino Alto Adige to choose from where they can enjoy a peaceful and enjoyable stay.
