A Historic Haven: Casa Artuico
Casa Artuico was one of the castle's former guardhouses.
It offers an immersive experience in a setting of extraordinary historical and natural beauty. Nestled within the Strassoldo di Sopra castle complex, which is next door to its twin, the Strassoldo di Sotto castle. Together, these castles form the heart of the enchanting small village of Strassoldo, proudly recognized among Italy's most beautiful villages.
Rich History & Atmosphere
These walls have witnessed centuries of north-eastern Italy's most significant historical events. During the Austrian period, the castle was a favoured retreat for aristocrats seeking the region's pleasant climate and proximity to the Adriatic Sea.
