GRAND HOTEL ENTOURAGE PALAZZO STRASSOLDO

Gorizia Tourist AttractionsSituationThe provincial capital of Gorizia lies just on the Slovenian frontier at the west end of the karstic limestone country, where the fertile valley of the Isonzo emerges into the plain of Friuli. Gorizia is the see of an archbishop. The old town lies around the castle on its hill (148m/488ft); the newer districts adjoin the station.EconomyThe fruit trade, as well as some industry (cotton, silk, paper, furniture) and tourism are important features of the economy.HistoryFrom 1500 until 1918 the country of Gorizia belonged to Austria. During the First World War, lying as it did on the important road to Austria, it was almost continuously in the front line and was largely destroyed. In 1947 the eastern suburbs of the town, with the Montesanto station, were transferred to what was then Yugoslavia. On the other side of the frontier the town is known as "Nova Gorica".CathedralAt the foot of the northwest side of the castle hill in Gorizia is the triangular

Palace Strassoldo is a precious gem among the most beautiful buildings in Gorizia, built in 1481 in the peaceful Square Sant'Antonio, below the slopes of the Castle. From 2004, after an accurate and passionate restoration, Palace Strassoldo hosts the Grand Hotel Entourage****, where the unique refinement of the rooms meets the elegant and discreet service of a charming hotel. Thanks to its central location in Friuli Venezia Giulia, the Grand Hotel Entourage is the ideal place to call home when discovering the Region Friuli Venezia Giulia, but also Veneto (Venice is at a distance of just 1 ½ hour by train), and Slovenia. Although nestled in the historical city centre, the Hotel is very quiet thanks to the surrounding park of the Poor Clares, so that Guests may enjoy the birds chirping in the morning and the ravishing choruses of the nuns during their evening mass. Guests have the pleasure of choosing among eight suites and more than thirty rooms. All are air-conditioned and have four-star-comforts: satellite TV, radio, telephone, refrigerator, safe deposit boxes and free wireless internet access. Our many cultural attractions will surprise your Guests: Gorizia with its castle, sweet little streets and many museums (Museum of Palace Coronini-Cronberg, Museum of Palace Attems-Petzenstein, Museum of Fashion, Museum of World War One) is well worth a visit, and nearby your guests will be amazed by the ruins of Aquileia, once "the second Rome", and today the biggest archeological center of Northern Italy. Moreover the langobard city of Cividale, the venetian Udine, the hapsburg Trieste and the starred Palmanova are easily reached by bike as well and offer a variety of architectural treasures hard to find elsewhere.
