B&B Duino Stella Maris is a family-run property located in Duino, in Friuli Venezia Giulia, about 600 metres from the Prince’s Beach and a few hundred metres from the famous castle overlooking the village.
The property offers a small number of air-conditioned rooms, each with a private bathroom, shower, courtesy set and hairdryer, designed both for couples and for those looking for a more intimate solution. The common areas include a terrace where guests can relax outdoors and free WiFi available throughout the property.

The location allows guests to reach Duino Castle on foot and, within a few minutes’ drive, Trieste, Sistiana and the coastal inlets of the area, making the B&B a practical base for exploring the stretch of coast between the capital of Friuli Venezia Giulia and the Slovenian border.
B&B Duino Stella Maris offers two room types designed for different needs: a larger solution for two people and a more compact single room, both equipped with a private bathroom, air conditioning and soundproofed windows to ensure a good night’s rest despite the proximity to the road. The parquet floors and wooden furniture, including spacious wardrobes, give the rooms a simple and well-kept character, consistent with the property’s family-run style.
The Deluxe Double Room, at 19 square metres, stands out for its view and wrought-iron bed, offering more space for those travelling as a couple. The Single Room with Private Bathroom, more compact at 10 square metres, is designed for solo travellers who still want all the essential comforts, including a private bathroom with shower and the complimentary toiletries common to all the property’s rooms.

B&B Duino Stella Maris is located in the heart of Duino, a small coastal village in Friuli Venezia Giulia best known for the castle overlooking the promontory on the Adriatic. The area retains a quiet character, with low houses, neighbourhood shops and a slow pace that contrasts with the liveliness of the larger nearby seaside resorts, while still being just a few steps from the sea.
The Prince’s Beach can be reached in about 600 metres, while Duino Castle, with the famous White Lady, is just over 400 metres away on foot. Miramare Castle, one of the symbols of the area, is about 11 km away, and Trieste with its Central Station is about 21 km away, also well connected by car along the coast road. Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari Airport is about 17 km away, useful for those arriving by plane, while Sistiana-Visogliano railway station is just 3 km away.
Those staying in Duino can spend summer days at the beaches of Sistiana and Portopiccolo, reachable in a few minutes by car, or walk along the famous Rilke Path overlooking the cliffs of the Gulf of Trieste. Nature lovers can head to Trieste Adventure Park, less than 3 km away, while in any season it is worth visiting the castle gardens and the panoramic routes connecting Duino to the Trieste Karst, a land of wines and traditional trattorias.
