About 45 min. walk from the train station, about 1km from the city centre, this property is located in a quiet hilltop neighborhood near San Giacomo church. The location is peaceful but there are a few bars, cafés and restaurants within 200 or 300 metres in case you get thirsty. The staff was helpful in giving us directions and lending us a power adapter. The building is old, early 20th century, but the fixtures and features, including the bathroom, were new. Overall it was very elegant. The breakfast was spectacular, including hot and cold options and Trieste specialties such as custard, strudel, coffee cakes and Vienna sausage in addition to dozens of choices of pastries, meats, eggs, fruit and bread.
