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.

thks a lot! I hope to host you again! Fulvia

jane

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.

stayed from 08/05/2023 to 08/07/2023

The answer from the host:
Hi Jane, what a nice review! Many many thanks. I hope you are enjoying your cruise. I wait for you again, sooner or later! A warm hug Fulvia

carola

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.

Hi Carola, many many thanks for this super review I'm looking forward to host you again in spring! A warm hug Fulvia

lisa

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.

Grazie mille Serena, le rispondo in italiano perché non conosco il francese e so che è la sua lingua madre. Siete stati ospiti molto piacevoli, cortesi ed educati ed è stato un piacere trascorrrere con voi un po' delle vostre vacanze. Spero di rivedervi presto. Grazie FUlvia.

katharina

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.

marina

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.

The answer from the host:
Grazie di cuore Marina. Siete stati ospiti eccellenti ed anche i vostri cani meritano la lode. Talvolta capita che ceniamo assieme ai nostri ospiti, condividendo davvero la vita familiare, così cerchiamo di interpretare il senso del bed and breakfast, quello vero! Alla prossima!

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.

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.

Carissimo Gianluca, è stato un vero piacere ospitarla. La sua educazione ed il garbo che sempre ha avuto sono doti che ho apprezzato. Grazie di cuore.

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.

Cari ragazzi non ho davvero parole per ringraziarvi di questa magnifica recensione. Sono estremamente felice che siate riusciti a cogliere ed apprezzare il nostro lavoro per far sentire gli ospiti a proprio agio. Quanto da voi scritto mi ripaga degli sforzi quotidiani e da un senso al nostro piacere di ospitare, purtroppo non sempre contraccambiato. Davvero grazie di cuore. Alla prossima.

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.

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.
