Punto8 is a bed and breakfast in the historic centre of Trieste, 1.3 km from the Castle of San Giusto and just as close to Trieste Centrale railway station. The property is located on Via Paduina, in an urban setting full of bars, restaurants and historic sites within easy walking distance.
The rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, each with a private entrance and private bathroom featuring a shower, courtesy set, hairdryer and bathrobes. A kettle for tea and coffee is also provided, handy for those who want to ease into the day before heading out to explore the city. Breakfast offers continental, Italian and gluten-free options, designed to meet different needs.
The central location makes Punto8 particularly suitable for those visiting Trieste for tourism, appreciating the proximity to Piazza Unità d’Italia, the Port and museums such as Kleine Berlin. Couples in particular rate the property’s location highly, convenient also for those arriving by train or wishing to walk between the city’s main points of interest.
The rooms at Punto8 share an essential and functional layout: air conditioning, soundproofed walls, private entrance and private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, bathrobes and courtesy set. Each unit also has a kettle for tea and coffee, a useful detail for those who prefer to manage their own small breaks during the stay.
The range includes two room types designed for different guest needs: a double room with a large bed measuring 15 sqm, suitable for two people, and a single room of the same size but designed for a single guest. Both offer the same level of privacy and the same bathroom amenities, differing mainly in bed configuration and maximum occupancy, allowing guests to choose based on the number of travellers.
Designed for two people, this 15 sqm room offers a large double bed, private entrance and soundproofed walls for greater relaxation. The private bathroom with shower is fully equipped with a courtesy set and bathrobes, while a kettle for tea and coffee is available in the room.
Unlike the double room, this room is designed for a single guest, while keeping the same 15 sqm size. It features a single bed, private entrance, soundproofed walls and private bathroom with shower, hairdryer and bathrobes, ideal for solo travellers.
Punto8 offers free internet access throughout the property and an environment designed for guest relaxation, with a 24-hour front desk and constant security. The property is entirely non-smoking and has independent entrances, a lift and soundproofed rooms on request.
General services include luggage storage, concierge service, private check-in and check-out, and even a babysitting service on request. Those who love getting around the city can take advantage of organised walking and bicycle tours, as well as evening activities such as pub crawls, film nights and cabaret.
In terms of dining, Punto8 offers a special diet menu on request and the option of having breakfast directly in the room, with a tea and coffee kettle always available. The rooms also feature bathrobes, hairdryers and full courtesy sets, for a practical, worry-free stay.
Punto8 is located on Via Paduina, in the beating heart of Trieste, a stone’s throw from historic bars and traditional restaurants such as El Cassetin and Pizzeria Arlecchino, both less than 50 metres away.

Guests staying here can spend their days exploring the historic centre, among Roman sites such as the Trieste Roman Theatre and the Basilica Forense, both less than 800 metres away, or take a walk to the Basevi Historic Garden.
