Palazzo Haggi — Apt. 5 · 97 sqm · floor 2 · San Vito, Trieste

On the second floor of number 2 Via Benedetto Marcello, apartment 5 is the gateway to Palazzo Haggi: 97 square meters (gross floor area), two bathrooms, and the most accessible price in the entire development. An efficient, light-filled two-bedroom apartment, designed for those seeking a residence in the heart of San Vito without superfluous representational space. The entrance hall distributes the rooms in an orderly fashion: the living area with kitchenette and guest bathroom, the spacious master bedroom, the single bedroom, and a second full bathroom with shower. There are no private outdoor spaces, and it is precisely this choice—every square meter lived-in, nothing wasted—that makes it the most rational layout in the building.

Palazzo Haggi is a building with a distinct history. It was commissioned by the Armenian merchant Haggi Giorgio Aydinian and designed by Ruggero Berlam, one of the architects who gave Trieste some of its most recognizable buildings. The neo-medieval façades—projecting string courses, columns, capitals—are protected by the Soprintendenza (Heritage Authority) and have been restored to their original colors. The project is a complete renovation with seismic upgrading and energy refurbishment; the historic stone entrance hall and staircase have been restored. It is a five-minute walk from Piazza Cavana and seven minutes from Piazza Unità d'Italia.

The specifications match the address. High-efficiency inverter air-to-water heat pump system paired with a condensing boiler for domestic hot water, underfloor heating and split-unit cooling, rooftop photovoltaic system. Hydraulic elevator. Pre-finished Parador Oak Bardolino Natural oak parquet laid in a herringbone pattern, bathrooms in Tibur Cerdomus 60x120 porcelain stoneware, SDR Terra Quadra sanitary ware, Treemme fixtures, Garofoli Mirabilia interior doors, double-glazed wooden exterior windows (white interior, walnut exterior), and reinforced security entrance door.

The sale is subject to VAT (4% for primary residence, 10% for second home) in addition to the price, and a renovation tax deduction is available pursuant to Art. 16-bis of the TUIR (Italian Consolidated Income Tax Act) up to €48,000 in ten installments. The compact layout and location also make it attractive as an investment—touristic or short-term rentals with a 10% flat-rate tax (cedolare secca)—a sector in which TriesteVillas has managed premium rentals in Trieste since 2013.
