Description
The flat is located on the first floor of a downtown late 19th Century building and it will welcome you in its artistic, yet familiar atmosphere. It is only a few minutes from the Main Railway Station and from the terminal of the historic “Tram de Opicina”; the major points of interests in the city, such as the Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia (the largest sea-front square of Europe), the Sinagogue (one of the main centres of Jewish religion in Europe), thr Serbian-Orthodox Temple of Santissima Trinità e di S. Spiridione, the neo-classical church of S. Antonio Nuovo and neo-gothic Lutheran Evangelic church are also in the neighbourhood.
Furthermore, public transportation is available right around the corner, thus making it quite easy to reach far-off sites of cultural, artistic and historical interest (the Miramare Castle, the University etc), as well as our naturalistic jewels (Val Rosandra, the Carso and Rilke Walk).
For theatre-goers, the B&B is halfway between the Opera House (Teatro G. Verdi) and the Teatro Politeama Rossetti.
We have two rooms: one double room, named after the opera “Carmen*”, and a multiple one, made up of two adjoining rooms, one of which has a king-size bed and is named after the opera “Madama Butterfly*”, and the other is a very spacious three-bed room called “The Barber of Seville*”.
All rooms are equipped with sound-proof windows; they have comfortable beds with double pillows and eider-down quilts, the sheets are embroidered in precious Egyptian combed percale cotton and are permeated in a magical atmosphere, surrounded as they are by Lidia Polla's artwork and theatrical references in the furniture and decoration. We can have as many as seven guests.
All rooms are equipped with air conditioner / dehumidifier with its remote control for personalized adjustment.
All rooms are no-smoking.
There is a large terrace for smoking and non-smoking guests.
In the structure there are no TV sets but there is free Wi-Fi.
Private bathrooms are at guests' disposal, and cleanliness is guaranteed.
All rooms have free wi. fi

Hey from Laura
I am a restaurateur and I have inherited the passion for art from my grandmother, Lidia Polla, to whom I wanted to dedicate the name of the B&B. It is located in what used to be her home/studio, which I have patiently restored with the help of my family and loved ones. The B&B is decorated with her artworks (paintings, sculptures, drawings) and features furniture pieces inspired by the world of Opera, reflected in the choice of names for the rooms and the overall atmosphere. (My mother used to be a singer in the chorus of the G. Verdi Opera House in Trieste and now has a pure passion for flamenco, which also influenced the choice of artworks set in Spain).
I hope that you will feel comfortable during your stay and, with mutual respect for privacy and the willingness to meet your needs, I am confident that you will have an exquisite memory of your time here.
Laura.
