What travelers are saying
- BloodwagsWatford, UK175 contributionsDefinitely worth a visit if travelling through the Dolomites. This was the site of a terrible tragedy in 1963 when a massive landslide from the slopes of Monte Toc in the night displaced millions of litres of water over the dam, drowning 1910 people (Including any children) in the village below. The dam is now disused and the sight of a number of moving monuments and memorials to those who lost their lives.Written February 26, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CalBristolWeston super Mare, UK2,128 contributionsSpilimbergo appears to be a sleepy little town with a castle (converted into apartments), a cathedral (closed) and the Mosaic Scool (fascinating!)
The school (founded in 1922) is a short distance from the town centre and is in an unremarkable buidling; the entrance is around the back from the car park. You are conducted around the school through corridors lined with wonderful mosaics and you can look through doorways to see the students bent over their work, being supervised by their teacher. (You cannot enter these classrooms but you can go round the classrooms not in use and see the unfinished work left by the students.) On the first floor, there is a large room full of examples of the work produced in the school ranging from reproductions of ancient mosaics to completely new contemporary and abstract designs, using just colours.
The school is very quiet, the only sound being the tap tap of the students little hammers breaking the stones into small pieces. It is good to see that the ancient craft of mosaics is still being carried on today and is well worth a visit.Written July 2, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The water is customary turquois color seen in the Dolomites. There are several picnic areas super ideal for a family or couple or even your sad and lonely self to have lunch after hiking around the lake. There is the common "circle the lake" hike that is fine for all ages or number of legs, then there are a few other hikes that head into the hills that are a little more challenging, but not much. The challenging hikes are primarily down stream from the dam with opportunities to overlook the gorge.
As far as I can tell, there is no swimming anywhere in the lake. There is definitely no swimming near the town as there are signs (I'll upload the evidence). There were boats on the water lashed to a small dock, but they were clearly personal vessels and there does not appear to be any rental opportunities for boats or paddle boards etc. Honestly, its a big miss on their part if this is truly the case.Written August 30, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hendrik_NLVlaardingen, The Netherlands7,279 contributionsIndeed, no visit to Spilimbergo is complete without visiting the Duomo, and I mean stepping into the cavernous interior of this 13th Century church and let the calm and silence do their work. Wander around, enjoying the statues and frescos and maybe there is time to wonder at the precious art in the basement. But the most important is the instant separation of the hustle and bustle of 21st Century life by going back eight centuries.Written May 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Culture143930Australia23 contributionsThis is a find. The abbey dates back to the 8th century. The internal walls are adorned with the frescos of Giotto’s students. In the cript are the remains of St Anistasia in a beautiful carved marble casket. In a addition a wooden Pietà dating back (darn cannot rememberthe date). Made as I understand by a German. Artisan.
Tours of the Church are available and conducted by the church curators. The entrance to the Abbey is surrounded by a wall and most. The the bell tower and clock rose above the town and can be seen from a distance. The abbey adjoins the gardens of Burovich which have beautiful roses in bloom in spring and summer. It is a quite space to relax and reflect. It is also the place to park your car.
Once seeing the church one can take a coffee at on or two of the coffee shops of the Abate Armano the hotel in the square or enjoy a lunch or Dinner at Al Grappolo. Good local food made from produce within the region. Remember that each coffee shop and restaurant does have its one day off. I know for Al grappolo it is a Monday.
Then one can venture out to other parts of the area . There is the Mulino and Fontana di Vincaredo. Only a short distance away. It is said that Tiepolo writes his poems at the fountain.
The there are other villages close by like Cordovado which also has some beautiful building , discover Friuli for yourself it is not overrun by touristsWritten October 5, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NikJAscot, UK817 contributionsParked for free by the church and walked the 2km down to the pools... there were less than 10 people there in total.. was overcast so not the best photos... worth walking up the route on the right hand side... nice views.
Worth it, not stunning.. but probably wouldn’t go backWritten July 16, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is a very long and beautiful street in every aspect: historic, clean and tidy as well as the beautiful shops and nice cafes.Written July 25, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- E_is_WanderlustCordenons, Italy12 contributionsAwesome park with nature trails for the little ones and many farm animals. A great way to get the family out for fun and a picnic in the grass. Will definitely go back on a lazy weekend.Written April 15, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HarleyDavidOrlandoLuxembourg City, Luxembourg295 contributionsThis is my first time here and I immediately regret never being here since the entrance.
The place
Is beautiful and well organized the walkways are well protected Except for the caves in the “orrido” which can be slightly slippery because of the water.
To enter the caves 2 and 3 in the orrido an helmet and a torch would be a nice choice to avoid head bumbs and impossibility to explore , especially cave 3 that is completely without light.
It is a pity that they do not have Toilets and real English speaking people but the nature saved them allWritten August 21, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We took our 3 kids (5 and younger) with us and we enjoyed the trip. There is a clear wall with knives and other tools stuck in them (probably 50 or more) and you can grab the handles and feel the differences between the designs. We liked watched the small demonstration box which showed us the machines in action on a small scale. There is a movie in Italian which tells of the museums history and a few other areas which describe the knives machinery.Written January 11, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rebecca BCardiff, UK24 contributionsWe visited Pitars for a tour and wine tasting, and we were thrilled by the experience we had. Our host, Deborah, was extremely well informed, friendly, and her English was perfect. We had the opportunity to taste 8 wines, including 2 special reserve wines, for only €8 per person. The tasting room was beautiful, as was the rest of the venue. We felt no pressure to buy any wine after the tour, however the wine was so excellent, we decided to buy a few cases to be shipped to our home in England. I cannot recommend the experience highly enough, a must visit in the region.Written September 23, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BP_EatLoverBreda, The Netherlands102 contributionsI was quite excited to try this place in Friuli. It is located near a river on a quiet area, but not too far from the village of Claut. The owner is already in the hospitality industry, since he owns also an hotel in Claut (hotel Miramonti). Said that I thought we would not have any problems .... well I was so wrong.
Let's first look at the good aspects. When we arrived we saw a nice area on the right for kids with a lot of things to do, so it is brilliant for young kids. Then we had a nice welcome from a lady a couple of teenagers that introduced us to the facilities. We went to our tree house and from the outside we thought that the houses are quite nice. We enter our house, with some difficulties (they are small) and we try to understand how to settle. Only one person at the same time can move around, but that is fine. What is quite nice is the area that they created along a small stream where you can seat and even an open air shower with nice fresh water. During a sunny day that is quite enjoyable. The camp has no electricity and potable water, but that is fine. They give you head lights so that you can go around at night. A bit more difficult to have a shower with head lights, but doable. The morning that we had to leave it was raining so the breakfast was at the hotel and it was good, nothing exceptional but you have a couple of juices, 2/3 different sweets, speck, cheese and cereals if I am not mistaken.
That is all for the positive aspects I think, now I will tell you a bit more about my personal negative experience. First, the place is not clean ... you could say what do you expect from a tree house which is supposed to be a bit more spartan. Well, the price includes sleeping bags but they are fuilty and smelly. My friend also found some stuff at the end of it which means they never clean them. They also do not provide a clean inner sheet (I always get one when I went to similar places). Luckily I had my own sheet for the sleeping bag. I would have preferred tat they tell you to bring your own stuff in this case.
Unfortunately they also only have one toilet and one shower for everybody which is not enough for all the houses that they have. The worst was the time that we check out, we had some disagreement on something and then we hand up having the owner shouting at us in a very unprofessional way, without giving us the chance to explain.
Mind you that we paid in advance about 57 € per person, which I personally find it really expensive for the area and moreover for the service that you get. I would suggest the owner to look at his competition, there are quite few tree houses lodge that he should visit.
In conclusion nice idea and concept, especially great for kids and group of friends, but one of the worst services ice I had in all my life. Definitely the only time that somebody shouted at me for a small disagreement that could have been solved in a second if he did not insulted us.Written July 4, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
