On the way to Croatia

The structure, in the first stage of the Cammino Celeste, is convenient as a stopover on the journey to Croatia. At 4 minutes from the Palmanova exit and 50 km from the Italian border it is valid for visiting Friuli in general. You can: - play a piano in your room or sing with Marcello and his guitar. - taste vegetables from the garden and have a kitchenette with stove and barbeque on the veranda - use swimming pool and gym - wash the car with a pressure washer and vacuum - enjoy the Argo dog If you do not like the sounds of nature it is better to choose another place. You will probably have to fall asleep hearing the love song of the frogs that live in the pond specially built for them in a corner of the garden. Marcello will be happy to show you the garden and the vegetable-garden and satisfy your curiosity Guests can access the living room with TV, the kitchen and the veranda connected to the garden. On the veranda there is a gas stove and a barbeque where they can grill the vegetables they have collected. There is also a table to be used, for example, to enjoy pizzas ordered at home with the background of the song of crickets. I decided to take this initiative not so much for the gain as for the pleasure of meeting new people with whom to share my experiences. Argo has the same character: it immediately makes friends with everyone and will be happy to go for a walk with you without a leash in the fields that are around the house The neighborhood is typically composed of small villas with gardens and some also with a vegetable garden. Aiello has become famous as "Il paese delle meridiane" (the village of sundials). There are over a hundred of them. Just do an internet search where they are all represented. Over time a small tourism was born to come and see them. Aiello is served by a bus service that connects it to the main centers like Palmanova (5 min) Aquileia (20) Grado (30) as well as Udine and Gorizia. Trieste is more easily reachableby train in about half an hour from the Cervignano ralway station which is 8 km away Marcello also likes to cook. He could offer you to taste some simple dishes prepared with vegetables from his vegetable garden or some of the wines of which Friuli is rightly proud
