Trekking in Carnia means rediscovering an authentic mountain landscape, far from mass tourism. A dense network of CAI trails crosses nature parks, ancient forests, high pastures and historic sites of the First World War. Whether you want a relaxing walk along the Bût torrent, a loop trek towards Monte Coglians (the highest peak in Friuli Venezia Giulia at 2,780 m) or a hike among the Laghetti di Timau, here you will find your ideal pace.
Turn the effort of the trail into pure well-being:
Wholesome packed lunch / lunch box with local produce for your excursions
Post-trekking wellness circuit: Turkish bath and Finnish sauna
Deep-tissue massage for legs and feet
Quiet rooms with ergonomic beds
Hotel Gardel was a wonderful discovery. From the very start we were welcomed with lovely smiles and great kindness.
The hotel is in a very good location, just a short distance from the thermal baths. Free parking available.
Spacious rooms, a fully renovated and functional bathroom. Spacious breakfast and dining rooms.
Excellent cuisine and a good choice; for children they meet every need with off-menu dishes. We travelled with a 2-year-old who was always welcomed and pampered.
We had a truly wonderful time! We can’t wait to come back.
Excellent hotel and excellent location, but what really makes the difference is the staff! Well done, everyone!
I spent two nights on half board at this hotel. What can I say: perfect in every detail. Starting with the strategic location for many hiking trails and cycle paths, everything very clean and tidy, a rich breakfast that was excellent, just like dinner, very friendly and helpful staff, and a well-kept relaxation area and pool.
I also really enjoyed the two massages given by a very friendly lady who is great at her job. My sincere compliments to the owners and the staff for making me feel at home.
I highly recommend a stay in this very peaceful place, also for its fair value for money.
My wife and I stayed at the hotel for two days and had a wonderful time. All the staff were extremely kind to us, the room was perfect and the restaurant delighted us at dinner. Breakfast was plentiful, with everything you could want. We used the pool and enjoyed an extremely relaxing hydromassage.
An experience I think I’ll repeat very soon.
An oasis of relaxation and excellent food in Carnia! I stayed at this hotel and was really happy. You can truly feel the family management: the staff are super helpful, kind and welcoming.
The cleanliness of the rooms and common areas is impeccable. As for the food: breakfast is good and above all plentiful. We chose to have it packed because our schedule didn’t allow us to have it at the hotel, and they prepared breakfast bags with literally everything: warm croissants, a hard-boiled egg, fruit, bread, chocolate spread, a bottle of water and so on.
Dinner, meanwhile, offers delicious, carefully prepared and wholesome dishes, with a buffet full of tasty things, from fresh and cooked vegetables to lots of delicious fried food. A special mention for the wellness centre, ideal for unwinding with its heated pool, sauna and Turkish bath!
I warmly recommend it!
We stayed for a week with a group; the staff were superb, every one of them, confirming that the people of Friuli are wonderful. Good, if not excellent, rooms; remarkable cuisine, tasty and plentiful, which adapted to all dietary habits.
Accommodation and service of a really high standard. Well done! We’ll be back.
I stayed at this hotel with my wife and daughter on 13, 14 and 15 August. The hotel also has a spa available to guests. I must say we were very happy in every respect. The kindness and helpfulness of the owners, together with that of all the staff, made us feel like family. A superb breakfast and dinners with excellent, always varied dishes never disappointed. The idea of an aperitif with nibbles on the large terrace on the evening of Ferragosto was excellent. Then came a dinner with something for every taste, all expertly cooked. The evening ended outdoors with lots of music and dancing, and we got to know the other guests. I feel I must thank everyone who helped make all of this a success.
It was our first time and we had a really good stay; kindness and courtesy stand out.
Clean rooms with all amenities. A complete and plentiful breakfast.
A good, efficient wellness circuit: true relaxation.
We’ll definitely be back.
This is the second year my son and I have come here.
The food is excellent, the rooms comfortable and equipped with everything you need.
A plentiful breakfast, both sweet and savoury.
Staff always helpful and attentive to every need.
I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights with a holiday group from Piedmont and was very happy: a comfortable room, a hotel in a sunny location with a pool and sauna, and very kind and helpful staff and owners. Breakfast was always very varied, everyone will surely find what they need, and lunches and dinners, always with buffet starters, are no less good – in fact, for me they’re even better. The courses are always very good, but above all this is a hotel that bases its menu on local dishes rather than offering standard dishes as so many do. If you’re in the area, this is a place where you’ll be pampered. Victor and his very young but very skilled, helpful… and above all human staff will amaze you… it’s worth it!
