Villa Albori

Villa Albori offers a nice and comfortable accommodation just outside of Trieste. The city center can easily be reached by bus or the historic tram (which is already one of the touristic highlights). Opicina is a village with sufficient options for food (excellent pizzerias) and supplies. The hosts Fulvia and Franco (and Sergio) are welcoming friendly people who helped whenever we had a question. The room was spacious enough for two and the bathroom was in good working order and clean. The breakfast was served as buffet (mostly) and offered a large choice of food, sweet (croissant, jam, cake,...) as well as salty (bread, cheese, salami or ham). Coffee and water for tea were available from a machine, and juices and cold water were readily available, too. Free parking was possible just outside of Villa Albori or in the garden for a fee. We had the car outside and it worked well for us. For the exploration of Trieste and surroundings we used the buses (or tram). A nice walking tour leads to the church/temple at Monte Grisa and further on to the castle Miramare (but you should like hiking if you want to try it). Payment was in cash only but that caused no problem for us.

This is a perfect place for those who want a homely feel when visiting Villa Albori. In a perfect location if you want to get away from the city. The breakfast is fantastic and homemade. Also a very good price for what you get. I will come again when I come back to Trieste.

The hostess was very gracious, the best in communications and helping us. We had many challenges trying to get to Trieste but she guided us with very useful information. The place is historic, clean & very comfortable. The breakfast was plentiful and many items are homemade. The location was not in town center but it not expensive by taxi from the train station. I highly recommend.

We loved our stay in this beautiful and cozy place. The breakfast was great, featuring fresh and hand-baked items that were truly yummy. The pool was fantastic, with very nice water, and it was surrounded by a beautiful garden with plenty of good shadow places. \n\nWe were able to take buses to Trieste and the Grotta Gigante. The bus system is perfect. They have air conditioning, arrive on time at short intervals, and operate late into the night. \n\nWe are looking forward to coming back in the spring.

Quite like images suggested. Cozy and relaxing, nice hosts. Easily accessible from the center of Trieste, with one bus even till midnight. Very good food and service in the cafe vis-a-vis, nice green lanes off the road. Traffic seems loud at times, but maybe that's personal sensitivity. We had a great time.

We had a delightful stay in this ancient villa restored with great taste, run by truly charming owners.

A wonderful, traditional accommodation that allows for good recovery after intense city explorations in the slightly cooler karst area above Trieste - easily reachable by bus and tram and run by extremely attentive hosts!

The accommodation is simply fabulous. The operators are very, very friendly and helpful and always have the well-being of their guests in mind. We felt very welcome from the beginning. Villa Albori is a beautiful house, also furnished in the style of a villa with pool and garden. The location with a bus stop right at the accommodation is great. By bus you can quickly get anywhere: to the city, to the shopping center, to the sea or to surrounding places (Muggia, Barcola). Ferry trips from Trieste to Muggia or to Castello Miramare are also recommended. The tickets are affordable and you can leave your car parked. The breakfast is fabulous with homemade cakes and jams. Also the breakfast room is furnished with attention to detail. As well as our spacious, air-conditioned room with modern bathroom. We really liked it there and would have liked to stay longer. Fulvia and Franco as well as Sergio and his wife are really great hosts, who run their B&B with a lot of passion.

Beautiful room, excellent breakfast, Villa Albori very elegant, very nice family! What more could you want!

Friendly and attentive hosts to the needs of the guests. Very clean and beautiful structure in the hills, but with the center of Trieste easily reachable by the legendary tram. Possibility of relaxation in the garden with the pool. We will return.

Everything is great. The hosts are very kind and the room is large and quiet.

In this delightful period villa, excellently restored and maintained, we were warmly welcomed by the owners Fulvia and Franco who made us feel at home. Breakfast was abundant and varied with quality products served in elegant and unexpected plates and cups. The location is very pleasant and well served for the city center with buses and trams from 1902 back in service. We also had a wonderful dinner in the company of our hosts who, besides being excellent hosts, are truly friendly. If we return to Trieste, we will definitely stay at Villa Albori.

Spacious, welcoming, and clean room, equipped with every comfort, inside an ancient 19th-century villa, perfectly maintained and cared for in every detail. The owner Fulvia and her family are welcoming and helpful people. The breakfast is good and always fresh. The internal parking is useful, which we recommend using given the limited availability of external parking.

Everything was perfect from the first moment with a very kind and family-like welcome. The breakfast was abundant with homemade jams and pastries. Thank you Fulvia and Franco for being such special hosts.

The historical Villa Albori is managed excellently by Mrs. Fulvia and her husband. They are very helpful and welcoming, ready to satisfy every guest's request. I highly recommend it.

Excellent homemade pastries for breakfast by Mr. Franco, husband of the kind host Fulvia. Relax in the garden and pool available. We had a good time, recommended.

Wonderful stay at this property, with a warm welcome from Fulvia - we loved it - everything was perfect.

Exceptional. Highly recommended.

Perfect.

I stumbled upon Villa Albori by chance, and it was a beautiful discovery. The owners are welcoming, kind, and helpful, you really feel at home. Mrs. Fulvia is always attentive to ensure that everything goes well, she gave me valuable advice and suggestions on things to do and see in the surroundings. The house is a historical residence, a "maison de charme", formerly the villa of the late 19th-century Habsburg bourgeoisie, now completely renovated and very well furnished, with taste and attention to detail. The room was perfect, in my case with direct access to the garden, as well as - as usual - from inside the house. Breakfast is truly rich and abundant, and homemade delicacies are not lacking (sweet and savory cakes, jams). The place is peaceful, you can relax in the beautiful garden surrounding the villa, and there is also a swimming pool, a really nice added value to rejuvenate after a day of walks and excursions. The house is located in the center of Opicina, a village in Trieste, away from the chaos of the city center, but very well-served (restaurants, shops). And the center of Trieste can be reached in a few minutes by bus. It is evident how much the owners care and strive for the well-being of their guests, and the result is undeniable. In short, it is absolutely recommendable, and worth returning to.

I discovered Villa Albori by pure chance and I must say it was a stroke of luck! This beautiful Habsburg villa from the 1800s was restored a few years ago by Mr. Franco and Mrs. Fulvia, who live there and manage it with care and love. The classic style of the room furnishings takes us straight back in time, but the real strength is everything around it: a large garden with lots of greenery where you can have breakfast, take a walk, or read a book, a well-equipped pool with a solarium, well-designed spaces to be enjoyed privately or shared with other guests. And then there are them, Franco and Fulvia, who truly treat you as welcome guests from the very first moment. The breakfast, in addition to the usual products you can find at a breakfast, also includes fresh delights placed warm on our table by the lady (crispy bread, tart, croissant, a savory strudel!). The kindness of the family, always present and never invasive, was greatly appreciated by me and my partner. We stayed only two nights and we really relaxed a lot, to the point that for an afternoon we preferred not to go out to visit Trieste and enjoy the tranquility by the pool at Villa Albori. There isn't much in the surroundings, it's a small hillside village-quarter near Trieste, but the city is easily reachable both by car (8 minutes) and by public transport (there is a bus stop right next to the villa, with parking spaces for cars). Too bad we couldn't take a ride on the historic Opicina tram, which has its terminus in front of the villa: during our stay, the service was suspended. But on this, Mr. Franco and Mrs. Fulvia couldn't do anything about it! :D For everything else, they were perfect. Definitely worth a return visit, highly recommended.

We stayed at Villa Albori for 4 nights. The villa's location is excellent, short distances on foot or by bike in the Carso, the bus stop to Trieste in front of the house, overall a quiet location, nice bars and restaurants in town. But all this is accompanied by the charming and friendly welcome of Fulvia, Franco, Martina and Cristina. Patiently and courteously, they will provide you with information on any questions you may have as a guest in the area. They can read every desire from your eyes. A highlight is the breakfast with ham, sausage, homemade jams, muesli, juices. The crowning glory are Cristina's cakes, the 'house pastry chef'. We felt like part of a big family, so we hope to be our guests at Villa Albori soon.

I had a great time. Excellent location to visit Trieste and its surroundings.

We had a great time. I recommend it to anyone who would like to go to Villa Albori.

Very pleasant stay; very kind owners; beautiful structure. To redo very willingly.

Wonderful place, excellent facility and staff availability.

For us excellent. Thank you for everything.

As far as we are concerned, everything is ok. We have already been guests and we feel good.

We stayed over the past weekend. Very cozy B&B in Villa Albori, a historic villa, tidy, clean, comfortable rooms and a beautiful garden. The owner, Mrs. Fulvia, very kind, also provided us with very useful information to visit Trieste and surroundings. Recommended. P.S. The only downside was that we stayed too little.

Very welcoming, clean and comfortable structure. It is located in a very good position, in a quiet and cool area in summer.\n\nVery kind and helpful owners.

An exceptional B&B! Great location, comfortable rooms, and extremely kind staff ready to provide valuable information about the places to visit.
