Sea-View Villa on the Napoleonica

A single-family villa on the Strada Napoleonica, poised between the Adriatic and the Carso, with central Trieste ten minutes away. Built in 1952, 234 sqm, set in a fenced garden of 2,112 sqm among Karst flora and a small wooded area. It faces south and takes in the full sweep of the gulf, from Istria to Miramare Castle.

The ground floor holds the day rooms: a lounge with fireplace, dining room, eat-in kitchen, pantry, storage room and a windowed bathroom, all opening onto a broad portico usable year-round, where a second fireplace already suggests an outdoor kitchen. A cellar, a store, the boiler room and a canopy complete this level.

Upstairs are five large bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet or wardrobe, a study, two bathrooms and the laundry; every room looks out over the view.

The two floors connect inside but stay potentially independent thanks to a double entrance — room for a large family, for splitting into two units, or for a hospitality project. An electric gate opens onto a generous private parking area with four outdoor spaces, uncommon along the Karst ridge. Fireplace, parquet, wooden shutters, a frescoed sundial on the façade.
