About Valli del Natisone
This is not one town but four narrow valleys, each with its own stream: the Natisone, Alberone, Cosizza and Erbezzo. They run up to the Slovenian border on the southern flank of the Julian Prealps, linking Cividale with the Isonzo valley. A few dozen very small villages of stone houses sit along them, some with 15th-century churches, and Slovene language and culture have survived here. The homes are spread across the villages rather than gathered in one place. Expect gorges, waterfalls and caves. Monte Matajur, at 1,641 metres, is the symbol of the area.
Is Valli del Natisone right for you?
- Best for
- Walkers and food lovers after a quiet border-country base
- Not for you if
- You want a pool or the sea close by, since pools are rare among these homes and the valleys lie in the Prealps.
