Al Vecchio Glicine is a bed and breakfast in Gábria, Friuli Venezia Giulia, with air-conditioned rooms featuring a hydromassage tub and a bathtub with jets, 31 km from Miramare Castle.
The property is designed for those seeking a peaceful stay in close contact with nature: it offers a garden, a terrace with a view, free bicycles for exploring the area, and a common lounge with a TV area. The rooms, furnished with essential taste, offer a private kitchen with oven, hob and coffee machine, plus a shared bathroom with toiletries and bidet.
Breakfast, served Italian buffet style, is included in the stay. A barbecue is also available to guests for outdoor grilling. The location, set in the countryside of the Gorizia Collio area, is especially appreciated by couples, who rate it 9.1 for a trip for two. Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari Airport is about 13 km away, while Gorizia and central Trieste can be reached by car in just a few minutes.
Al Vecchio Glicine offers two room types, both designed for couples and with very similar amenities: air conditioning, a private kitchen with hob, oven and refrigerator, TV with satellite channels, and access to a shared bathroom with toiletries. Each room features a hydromassage tub and a bathtub with jets, perfect for a relaxing moment after cycling trips through the surrounding countryside. There is also a terrace with garden views, shared by guests, and access to an outdoor barbecue.
The main difference between the two options concerns the size and bed configuration: the Double Room is the largest and features a large double bed, while the Twin Room, slightly more compact, is ideal for those who prefer two separate beds. Both share the same careful style and attention to detail, in an informal, family-friendly setting.
The Double Room, the larger of the two room types at 16.5 sqm, is furnished with a large double bed and features a private kitchen complete with oven and hob. The bathroom, shared with the other room, has a hydromassage tub and a bathtub with jets for moments of pure relaxation. The terrace overlooking the garden and access to the shared barbecue complete the picture of this option, ideal for a couple.
More compact than the Double Room, this 13.8 sqm option is furnished with two single beds, ideal for two people who prefer to sleep separately. Here too you’ll find a hydromassage tub and a bathtub with jets, as well as a private kitchen with oven and hob. The terrace with garden views and access to the barbecue are shared with the other room type.
Al Vecchio Glicine offers a range of amenities designed for a relaxing stay in close contact with nature.

For those who love getting around, the property provides free bicycles and organizes cycling and walking excursions in the Collio area. Practical services are also available, such as luggage storage, lockers, private check-in and check-out, and daily housekeeping.
Italian buffet breakfast is served with on-site coffee facilities, fresh fruit and options for special diets upon request. Parking is free and available on the street, while WiFi covers the entire property at no additional cost.
Al Vecchio Glicine is located in Gábria, a small rural hamlet in the Gorizia Collio area, set among gentle hills covered in vineyards and woods that characterize this corner of Friuli Venezia Giulia on the border with Slovenia. The area retains an authentic agricultural character, with farmhouses, wineries and trails perfect for walking and cycling, activities for which the property provides free bikes.
For those arriving by car, Gorizia Centrale is the most convenient railway station, about 5 km away, while Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari Airport can be reached in about 9-13 km. Trieste, with Piazza Unità d’Italia and its famous seafront promenade, is about 37 km away, while Miramare Castle is 31 km away. Duino Castle, overlooking the Gulf of Trieste, can also be reached in about twenty minutes by car, roughly 13 km away.
In the immediate surroundings there are several minor historic sites typical of the Collio area, such as Mirenski Grad and the Stražarski Stolp watchtower, both less than 2 km away, ideal for an afternoon walk. For meals, Lokanda Devetak and the restaurant at Rubbia Castle, both about 1.7 km away, offer local cuisine in characteristic settings. In summer the area is great for long bike rides through the Collio vineyards, while in winter, with shorter days, visits to historic villages and local wineries, known for quality wine production, are especially appealing.
Reviews particularly praise the cleanliness (9.9) and staff helpfulness (9.7), followed by highly appreciated comfort. The location is also well received, especially among couples. The value for money remains good, while WiFi receives more modest ratings.
