Felettis is a hidden gem in Friuli Venezia Giulia, nestled in the foothills of the Julian Alps. This tranquil village offers a perfect escape for nature lovers and history buffs alike. Wander through narrow cobblestone streets lined with stone houses adorned with colorful shutters, and discover the ancient Church of San Lorenzo with its frescoes.
