The Deluxe Double Room with Sea View stands out for its larger size, dining area and lounge area with desk, as well as the view opening onto the sea and the city. The Single Room with Garden View, more compact, is designed for solo travellers and overlooks the interior greenery instead, with parquet flooring completing the space.

The area is well suited to exploring on foot or by bicycle, thanks to the rental service offered directly by the property: within an hour you can reach both the historic centre, with the Arch of Riccardo and the Roman Theatre, and the seafront towards Barcola, a summer destination for swimming and walks. In winter, the city is well suited to visits to museums such as Kleine Berlin, and to the streets of the centre, animated by Trieste’s historic cafés.
