Home Dren is a holiday home in Prepotto, on the Trieste Karst, about 6 km from Miramare Castle and just over an hour’s walk from the sea. The property occupies an independent building surrounded by greenery and offers three types of accommodation, all air-conditioned and with private entrance, designed for both large families and small groups.
Each unit has its own kitchen complete with hob, refrigerator, dishwasher and coffee machine, plus a private bathroom with toiletries and hairdryer. There is also a dining or living area with flat-screen TV, while several rooms overlook the garden or enjoy glimpses of the sea, with balconies and terraces furnished for outdoor dinners thanks to the shared barbecue.
The garden and common room offer shared relaxation spaces, while free private on-site parking makes arriving by car easy. The location between the Karst and the coast makes it easy to reach both the trails and osmize of the area and Trieste, making Home Dren a practical base for those wanting to discover this corner of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Home Dren offers three types of holiday home, designed to accommodate everyone from couples to large groups in independent, fully air-conditioned spaces. All units share a similar layout: a well-equipped kitchen of their own with hob, refrigerator and dishwasher, a private bathroom with toiletries, a dining or living area with flat-screen TV, and an independent entrance that ensures guest privacy.
What sets the three options apart is mainly the size and layout of the spaces: the largest Holiday Home, at 115 sqm, has four bedrooms with sea view and balcony, suitable for groups of up to nine, while the two 2-Bedroom House variants, of 55 and 60 sqm respectively, offer more compact solutions with a terrace or easier access, ideal for families or small groups looking for a smaller but equally comfortable stay.
The largest unit in the property, with 115 sqm spread over four bedrooms and as many private bathrooms: the ideal choice for large groups or extended families. It features a balcony and sea view, as well as a garden view, with terrace and barbecue for outdoor meals. A full kitchen with dishwasher, air conditioning and flat-screen TV complete a home designed for extended stays for up to nine people.
More compact than the Holiday Home, this 55 sqm unit is arranged over two bedrooms with as many bathrooms, one of which has a walk-in shower, and is also accessible to wheelchair users. The view opens onto the garden rather than the sea, and the kitchen is nevertheless complete with dishwasher and microwave. A practical option for families or small groups looking for functional spaces.
Slightly larger than its 55 sqm twin, this 60 sqm unit accommodates up to five people and stands out for its terrace with sea view, a strong point compared to the other types. The sofa bed in one of the two bedrooms allows for a third occupant, while the kitchen also features a microwave alongside the standard appliances. A barbecue and coffee machine complete the amenities.
Home Dren provides guests with a garden with picnic area, outdoor dining area and barbecue, ideal for outdoor meals during the warmer months. Each accommodation is independent, with a private entrance and the possibility of private check-in and check-out, and is equipped with air conditioning and heating for comfort in every season.
The kitchens are equipped with hob, refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine and electric kettle, while the private bathrooms offer a bath or shower, bidet and complimentary toiletries. There is also an in-room safe and free WiFi throughout the property.
For entertainment there are flat-screen TVs with satellite and cable channels. The property is entirely non-smoking and suitable for family rooms, with free private parking available directly on site for those arriving by car.
Home Dren is located in Prepotto, a small hamlet on the Trieste Karst overlooking the gulf, in a rural setting characterised by osmize, dry stone walls and vineyards sloping down towards the coast. The holiday home occupies an independent building with garden, in a quiet area yet just minutes from the main local restaurants, including Lupinc about 100 metres away and Suban at 450 metres, both landmarks for Karst cuisine.
Aurisina-Nabrežina railway station is about 1.1 km away, useful for those who want to get around without a car, while Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari Airport is about 17 km away. The centre of Trieste, with Piazza Unità d’Italia and Saint Giusto Castle, can be reached in about 20 minutes by car, roughly 13-14 km, while Miramare Castle is closer, just 6 km along the coast. The beaches of the Sistiana and Duino coastline, such as Spiaggia dei Filtri about 3 km away, are easily accessible by car.
In summer the area is perfect for days combining the sea and trekking on the Karst, with scenic trails overlooking the Gulf of Trieste and the surrounding Karst villages; Trieste Adventure Park, about 4.9 km away, is an option for families with children. In the cooler months, on the other hand, discovering the osmize, local wine cellars and historic sites such as Duino Castle, about 7 km away, or the Austro-Hungarian remains scattered across the plateau, offers a more authentic and less touristy experience of this stretch of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
