Il Giardino Segreto is an inn set in greenery in Fogliano Redipúglia, in the province of Gorizia, designed for those seeking a peaceful stay in the inland areas of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The property features a garden, an outdoor pool and a panoramic terrace, spaces that become the heart of guests’ outdoor life. On the ground floor there is also a restaurant and a bar, open to both guests and outside visitors.
The rooms, all with air conditioning and private bathroom, offer views of the pool and access to a shared terrace; for those travelling in a group or with family, a suite with two separate bedrooms is also available, designed for more flexible living arrangements between adults and children.
The location is convenient for getting around the Isonzo Karst area: the centre of Fogliano Redipúglia with its restaurants is a few steps away, Sagrado railway station is about 700 metres away, and Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari airport can be reached in a few minutes by car. Duino Castle and the main attractions of the Trieste coast are easily reachable in a day trip.
Il Giardino Segreto offers three types of accommodation designed for different needs, from couples to small groups. The two double rooms, both 25 m² and equipped with air conditioning, private bathroom and flat-screen TV, open onto a terrace with pool views: one offers two single beds that can be placed side by side, the other a large double bed, offering flexibility in guest arrangements.
For those travelling in larger groups, the Suite with 2 Bedrooms is available, a more elaborate accommodation combining two separate bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with a French double bed, for a maximum of three guests overall, with a shared bathroom between the two rooms.
With two single beds that can be placed side by side, this 25 m² room is the most flexible choice for friends or colleagues sharing the same space without necessarily sleeping together. It has air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower, and opens onto a terrace with views of the property’s pool.
Designed for couples, this 25 m² room is furnished with a single large double bed and looks directly onto the property’s pool. The private bathroom with shower and flat-screen TV complete a more intimate solution compared to the room with single beds.
The only accommodation in the property designed for larger groups or families, with two separate bedrooms that can host up to three people in total. One room has a large double bed, the other a French double bed, with a bathroom shared between the two rooms.
Il Giardino Segreto offers guests an outdoor pool surrounded by a garden, ideal for relaxing during the hottest hours of the day in a rural and quiet setting. The shared terrace overlooks the property’s green area and is the favourite meeting point for time outdoors, before or after the day.
All rooms are air-conditioned and non-smoking, ensuring a comfortable environment in every season of the year. The internal bar serves drinks throughout the day, while the inn’s dining service is designed for those who prefer not to go out for main meals during their stay, remaining within the property’s green setting.
Il Giardino Segreto is located in Fogliano Redipúglia, a town in the Isonzo Karst known above all for the Redipuglia War Memorial, one of the most imposing memorials of the First World War in Italy, which holds the remains of over one hundred thousand soldiers. The inn occupies a residential and quiet position, between countryside and vineyards, just a few steps from the town centre, where there are some typical restaurants such as Pizzeria alla Madonnina and Rosi, both about 150 metres away, and Trattoria Ok, slightly further at 300 metres. The area still retains a rural atmosphere today, far from the region’s busier tourist routes.
For those travelling without a car, Sagrado railway station is about 700 metres from the property, while Redipuglia station is 1.4 km away; both connect the area with Gorizia and Trieste in just a few minutes by train. Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari airport can be reached in a few minutes by car, an advantage for those arriving for the day from outside the region or needing to catch an early morning flight. The centre of Trieste, with Piazza Unità d’Italia and the historic port, is about 39 km away, while the Palmanova Outlet Village shopping centre is closer, at 22 km.
The area is well suited to those who want to combine history and nature: in addition to the Redipuglia War Memorial, nearby you’ll find the Tomb of Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia, 1.7 km away, and Parco Ungaretti, 1.3 km away, both linked to the memory of the Great War on the Karst. In summer, the property’s pool remains a good reference point for those who don’t want to travel too far during the hottest hours, while on cooler days it’s worth reaching Duino Castle, about 14 km away, for a walk along the famous Rilke Trail, overlooking the Adriatic coast.
