Serviced Apartments in Grado

Renting a serviced residence or aparthotel in this lovely seaside town, situated on a lagoon island in the Gorizia province of Italy, gives you perfect access to the quaint historic centre of this region as well as the beautiful natural environment. From here you can also explore the neighbouring islands that pepper the waters around Grado.

Take a short stroll from your Grado apartment rental or holiday let into the picturesque historic centre. Follow the maze of lanes, passageways and steep flights of stone steps past delightful fishermen’s cottages, huddled closely together as though trying to keep warm in their old age. Discover the pretty little squares and admire some of the beautiful architecture.

In Campo dei Patriarchi square you will find the cathedral or Basilica di Sant’Eufemia. This 6th century structure was built over the site of an even older religious building and inside you can still see some remnants from the previous building. The floor of the cathedral is covered in a vast and very beautiful mosaic which dates back as far as the cathedral itself but if you look carefully you will find a small glass window in the floor through which you can view a piece of the mosaic flooring from the original church on this site.

In the chapel there are further examples of ancient mosaics and if you go through the building and out into the back courtyard you will see some lovely Roman and early Christian marble sculptures on display.

From your Grado service apartment or holiday letting you can also take a short ferry ride out to the Isola di Barbana where you will see the beautiful white church dedicated to the Madonna. At the beginning of July each year is the Perdon de Barbana, a type of celebration where the townsfolk decorate their fishing boats and make their way out to the island for a mass to commemorate the end of the plague outbreak that struck this region 800 years ago. A truly wonderful sight.
