Our base in Precenicco
About Precenicco
Precenicco is situated in the pretty Friuli region. It’s ideal if you want to experience a less ‘frantic’ Italian adventure. The quaint old fishing town of Grado is 6 cruising hours away, the ancient Roman ruins of Aquileia just 5hrs and the popular beach resorts that run parallel with the canal are just 3hrs out. It is possible to cruise all the way to Venice and back in a week if you would like to explore both the Friuli and Venice region.
From Precenicco it is:
- 14.5hrs (2 locks, 3 lifting bridges) to our base in Casale
