Lo Studio di Joyce is a bed and breakfast in the heart of Trieste, just 600 metres from the city centre and 450 metres from Trieste Centrale Station, offering independent accommodations with a kitchenette and a terrace overlooking the city’s rooftops.
The property is designed for those seeking the independence of a small apartment without giving up the personal care of a bed and breakfast: each unit has a kitchen with fridge and dishwasher, a private bathroom with shower, air conditioning and a balcony with city view, plus a tea and coffee set and a microwave oven. The three room types vary in size, from the 18 sqm King Room to the 45 sqm Deluxe Triple Room, and all are served by free WiFi.
The location is one of the most appreciated features, with a score of 9.8 given by guests specifically for the location: from here, San Giusto Castle, Arco di Riccardo and Piazza Unità d’Italia can all be reached on foot, while Italian breakfast is served every morning. A practical base for exploring Trieste without needing a car.
The accommodations at Lo Studio di Joyce stand out for their layout similar to small independent apartments, each with its own kitchen, private bathroom with shower and a terrace overlooking the city’s rooftops.

The range includes three types that vary mainly in size and capacity: from the compact 18 sqm King Room, designed for two people, to the larger 45 sqm Deluxe Triple Room, which can accommodate up to three guests thanks to an extra single bed.
