About Grand Hotel Entourage:
The Strassoldo Family’s sixteenth century palace, one of the most ancient and best known throughout Friuli, rises in present-day Piazza S. Antonio, on the first, southern slopes of the hill of Gorizia castle.
In the autumn of the third decade of the XIX century this Palace and the town of Gorizia, then reputed to be “Austria’s Nice”, witnessed a historical event that was known far and wide throughout Europe: Charles X of Bourbon, king of France, arrived in town, and the French Royal Court settled in Strassoldo Palace.
40 full-option rooms, the restaurant and wine cellar, bring back the glorious past of the Bourbons. Strassoldo Palace is now the seat of the Entourage Grand Hotel, a quality, four star establishment, which has been able to match a remote past with travellers’ current requirements.
The eight suites and most of the rooms display Biedermeier style furnishings. A sophisticated and timeless style, it goes back to the 1815-45 peace period. A few rooms, instead, contain some authentic, ancient pieces of furniture, the result of a patient research and loving restoration work. The rooms’ atmosphere conveys a remote and luminous order, which, at the same time, is comfortable, functional, elegant.
The hotel restaurant has found its perfect setting under the ancient vaults of the ground floor, which date back to 1481.
Here menus heightening the traditional flavours of this land meet with the best labels of the renowned Collio wines, which you can taste in the wine cellar “Vineria”.
