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.
