Description

Viale Miramare 91, set in the greenery of Barcola — Trieste's seaside quarter. A second-floor apartment in a small block wrapped in a well-kept communal park, with a sea view from the lounge and the loggia, above the roofs of the nautical clubs: in summer in stretches between the plane trees of the avenue, in winter as far as Miramare Castle.

It helps to explain Barcola to anyone new to Trieste: the sea is straight across the road. The rowing and sailing clubs are moments away — this is the home of the Barcolana — the dinghy club a couple of minutes off, along with the moorings for a sailing boat or a dinghy. Tennis courts, the new sports centre (inaugurated on 20 August 2026, where padel courts are also planned), the seafront restaurants and the Pineta pine grove are all walkable. The city centre is roughly ten minutes away; Viale Miramare is well served by buses and sits by the Costiera road towards Sistiana and Portopiccolo, with Miramare Castle close by. A quiet green compound where even children can cycle about freely.

The layout already works and can stay as it is. The living area has a lounge and kitchen, a covered loggia facing the sea and a full bathroom with window; the sleeping area holds three bedrooms, a second full bathroom with window, a storeroom and a walk-in wardrobe. Central heating comes from the building's condensing boiler, installed in 2021, which also heats the domestic water, and is included — with cold and hot water — in the condominium fees; part of the flat has heat-pump air conditioners for heating and cooling. Energy class E, non-renewable global energy performance index 170.08 kWh/m² a year; energy performance certificate valid until 15 October 2036. A parking space in the communal garage comes as an appurtenance (a 1/10 share). Lift in the building.

Some updating is needed, yet the structure is sound and the plan is right: renovate without moving a wall. Cadastral surface 177 m² (173 m² excluding outdoor areas), category A/2. Price €540,000.

From the building out to sea

The sea starts across the road

The drone sets off above the Circolo Marina Mercantile, right in front of the building, and climbs as it moves away: first the tree-lined road, then the shore with its boating clubs, the jetty and the breakwaters, and finally, almost half a kilometre from the house, the Barcola shore between the sea and the hill, with the railway arches halfway up the slope.

How we know

Real drone photos, October 2026: no generative model; light and colour are the only things adjusted, locally, then the photos were resized. The number next to the photos is the height the drone logged at that moment, measured from the take-off point; distances, as the crow flies, come from the shot's position and OpenStreetMap.

The real photo, the names calculated

From the sea, towards the city

Almost half a kilometre offshore, the drone turns towards Trieste: the shore with its clubs, the building behind the roadside trees, the Victory Lighthouse on the hill and, further on, the Cittadella dello Sport. Each name sits where the calculation puts it, starting from the drone position recorded in the photo and from the Region's LiDAR survey. The proof comes on with the switch: the calculated shoreline lies on top of the photographed one.

Real drone photo, October 2026, over the sea about 450 m from the house · only light and colour adjusted, no AI

How we know

The method: the drone's position and height are written in the photo file; direction, tilt and field of view come from comparing the photographed sea and sky with those recalculated on the terrain, that is the FVG Region's surveys (LiDAR 2017 and 2009, 10 m DTM; IODL 2.0), buildings © OpenStreetMap (ODbL) and, for the distant mountains, Terrain Tiles (AWS Open Data). The result is a field of view of 70.6°, less than one degree above the 69.7° stated for the camera. Kilometres are counted from the drone. A name is shown only if the place, seen from the drone, stands out above land, roofs and trees; the 2017 LiDAR was flown in March, with leafless trees, and at the far right the calculated shoreline crosses tree crowns that are thick in October.

Barcola in 3D

The house in its neighbourhood, from the sea to the Karst

Barcola rebuilt in 3D from public data: the Region's 2017 laser survey, the true orthophoto, buildings with their measured heights; the building and the block around it come from drone footage. Around them, the places of Barcola life: the boat clubs across the road, the sailing club that organises the Barcolana, the pine grove and the Topolini to the north, the Victory Lighthouse above, the Cittadella dello Sport towards the Porto Vecchio. You can switch viewpoints, fly over the neighbourhood and move the sun through the day; tap any name to read about the place.

On foot, from the front door

Barcola, flat along the sea

Barcola runs along the sea and is almost entirely flat. The boating clubs are right in front of the house; in three minutes you reach the sailing club that organises the Barcolana and the Circolo Marina Mercantile's tennis courts, in seven the small harbour, in eight the Lungomare Benedetto Croce, the first free stretch of shore, with steps down into the sea, in eleven the fountain in the Pineta. The only climb is up to the Victory Lighthouse: thirteen minutes there, eight back. The minutes come from the actual routes, street by street, and include the climb.

How we know

How they are calculated: OSRM walking routes on OpenStreetMap data (FOSSGIS server), on 26 October 2026, starting from the Viale Miramare pavement in front of the building. Elevations come from the regional LiDAR survey (1 m terrain model, 2009 flight). Walking speed is 4.8 km/h, with an extra minute per 10 metres of ascent, as in Naismith's rule; each time is rounded to the nearest minute and assumes an unhurried pace with no stops. The photo, north up, is the 2017 true orthophoto of the FVG Region, licensed CC BY 4.0: the Cittadella dello Sport and the rebuilt harbour, both finished in 2026, are not in it yet.

Sun and sea from the loggia

The sea above the clubs' roofs, the sun every afternoon

From the loggia, eight metres above the pavement, the sea shows above the roofs of the nautical clubs: in summer in stretches between the plane trees, about 55 degrees, in winter as far as Miramare Castle. The sun arrives after midday and stays all afternoon; on 48 evenings a year it sets into the open sea, at the equinoxes right over Grado.

How we know

In detail. The apartment is on the top floor, set back from the avenue: its floor is about 11 metres above the sea and 8 above the pavement. Across the avenue the roofs of the nautical clubs sit lower; the Saturnia rowing club building does not, and to the south-west it hides the sea. In the 3D-tour photos of 30 June 2026, with the plane trees of the avenue in leaf, from the loggia, the covered terrace on the avenue, the sea line shows in three main stretches, about 55 degrees in all: towards the tip of Istria above the pines, towards Grado above the roof of the Circolo Marina Mercantile and between the crowns of the plane trees towards the mouth of the Isonzo. In winter, with the branches bare, the northern stretch widens as far as Miramare Castle: up to 75 degrees. The loggia faces west: the sun reaches it between midday and 13:15 and stays all afternoon, on 21 June from 13:10 to 20:54, on 21 December from 12:11 to 16:22. From 9 March to 1 April and from 10 September to 3 October it sets into the open sea, 48 evenings a year, at the equinoxes right over Grado. From April to early September it goes down on the sea line towards the mouth of the Isonzo and Monfalcone, except for a few evenings in late April and late August, when the crown of a plane tree is in front; beyond, more than a hundred kilometres away, the Pre-Alps rise just above the line of the water. From October to early March it goes down behind the Saturnia building. From the living room, a few metres further south, the building stands further to the right, and between mid-November and late January the sun sets into the sea, to its left. How it is made. We measured the height: in the 360° photos of the 3D tour the sea line works as a spirit level, and the angle between it and the top edge of the roof of the Circolo Marina Mercantile, whose height comes from the Region's LiDAR survey, gives the height of the camera, 1.4 metres above the floor; the same method, tested on two photos from our drone at a known height, is off by less than 5 centimetres. The floor is 11.05 metres above sea level, within 10 centimetres; the calculation puts the eye at 12.65 metres. The horizon is the real one: the Region's LiDAR survey of March 2017 for buildings and trees, the terrain as far as the Pre-Alps, the curvature of the Earth and refraction. In summer the trees in front of the loggia are those in the 3D-tour photos of 30 June 2026; in winter the plane trees count as bare, as if the branches let everything through: the truth is slightly less. Position of the sun: NOAA algorithm, with refraction; the loggia has sun when the sun is in front of it and the edge of the disc is above the horizon, without counting the eaves that cover it. The dial uses this calculation on the 21st of each month; on other days it shows the sun over a flat horizon.

The sea by the house, measured

The sea in front of the house

To reach the water you only cross Viale Miramare: from the building to the shore it is two minutes. About two hundred metres away is «Excelsior», one of the points where ARPA samples the sea: once a month, April to September, since 2010, and in all these years no sample has gone over the legal limits. For the European Environment Agency the class has been «excellent» every season from 2015 to 2025.

Water quality and sources

Samples and beach temperatures: ARPA FVG, point IT006032006008 «Excelsior» (FVG Region open data, 102 samples 2010-2026; beach temperatures up to 2025).

Sea temperature month by month: NASA JPL MUR SST, daily average 2003-2025 of the sea cell off the house (45.67 N, 13.75 E); days above 20 °C are the average of the years (116-154). The satellite measures the surface offshore, the beach the shoreline: the two are never mixed.

A first estimate, made with the help of AI from official data: it is not a mortgage offer. The amount, rate and terms are decided by the bank after its own assessment.

TAN from the average of fixed-rate (over 10 years) mortgages signed in Italy in September 2026 (provisional): ECB, Bank of Italy data.

The guide: mortgages in Italy for non-residents

Italian banks usually lend non-residents 50-60% of the value: “I live abroad” redoes the maths.

How we do the maths

The rate

It is the average rate of fixed-rate (over 10 years) home loans signed in Italy in the month, collected from banks by the Bank of Italy and published by the ECB about five weeks later (harmonised MIR statistics). The TriesteVillas CRM downloads it every night: when a new month comes out, the figure here updates by itself. Fixed-rate loans use contracts fixed for the same term (up to 5 years, 5 to 10, over 10); variable-rate loans use variable-rate contracts. The published figure is a compound annual rate without fees: for the monthly payment it becomes the nominal rate, TAN = 12 × ((1 + rate)^(1/12) - 1). Latest data: September 2026, provisional.

Over a year this average moved from 3.31% (September 2025) to 3.65% (September 2026).

This month's offers may differ: the best ones are often below the average, with conditions (down payment, energy class, guarantees, insurance). That is why the rate above can be changed.

The payment

French amortisation, with a constant payment: R = C × i / (1 - (1 + i)^(-n)), where C is the capital, i the TAN divided by 12 and n the number of payments.

The APRC (TAEG)

The annual cost of the whole loan, computed with the cash flows of the EU directive: on top of interest, the costs usually paid to the bank and the State. Substitute tax 0.25% (€945), arrangement fee €1,000 (assumption), valuation €350, fire insurance €85 a year, payment collection €3 a month. The notary's fees stay out of the APRC, as the law provides (art. 120-quinquies of the Italian Banking Act): they are included in the cash needed at the deed. For comparison, the average APRC of home loans signed in Italy in September 2026 was 4.05%.

Cash at the deed

The down payment, the purchase taxes estimated for this home under the chosen regime, the agency fee with VAT, the loan costs paid at signing and the notary, for the purchase and for the mortgage. The notary is our estimate, given as a range, not a quote: since 2012 the fee is agreed with the notary, who, having seen the documents, gives a written estimate before being instructed. The bank lends on the value set by its own valuation: if the valuation comes in below the price, the loan goes down, not the price.

The income

The one-third rule comes from the Bank of Italy's consumer guide: a prudence measure for choosing an affordable payment, not the criterion a bank uses to decide. Every bank assesses income, expenses, age and guarantees on its own.

What it is not

It is not a credit offer or advice. TriesteVillas is not a bank, a credit broker or a credit agent, and not a mortgage comparison site. This calculator, built with the help of artificial intelligence, makes a first estimate from official data and the rules written here; the maths runs in the browser and nothing is saved.
