Description

The very recently opened B&B “Il Melograno” is located in a warm and welcoming home built in 30’s and completely renovated by preserving distinctive architectural characteristics of that period. The three cozy rooms: "Don’t forget me", "Tulip", and "Lavender", are furnished with care and simplicity. The rooms are new, clean, comfortable, and well equipped with all the modern amenities in order to provide a pleasant and unforgettable stay. The B&B is located close to the central area of Trieste and served frequently by public transportation (busses), which allow easy and rapid transit toward other interesting places of the city. Starting by the heart of the city itself, the wonderful Piazza Unita’ d’Italia with the XIX-century City Hall palace and many others. The city square (Piazza Unita’ d’Italia) is opened directly to the sea exposing a magnificent view rarely found elsewhere. There you can find many popular and elegant cafés, among which the most famous is “Il Caffe’ degli Specchi”.

What guests say

Guests consistently praise the high level of cleanliness, attention to detail, and comfort of the rooms. Fabio, the host, is repeatedly described as friendly, helpful, and always ready to offer valuable advice about places to visit and eat in Trieste. The generous and quality breakfast is another highlight. While the B&B is not located right in the city center, it is well-connected by public transport and walkable (about 15-20 minutes to the center). Excellent value for money and a welcoming atmosphere make it suitable for both short and longer stays in Trieste.

Fabio is such a kind and friendly host. He did everything to make us feel comfortable in his property. Breakfast is a typical Italian one, and Fabio was flexible in providing it at any time we wanted. Although we stayed only two nights and were out most of the time, we had the chance to have small, pleasant conversations with Fabio during breakfasts. The property is located not far from the main bus and train stations and is easily accessible by public transport, about 15-20 minutes by several direct buses. The rooms and the shared areas of the apartment are nicely decorated and very clean. Highly recommended place to stay when exploring wonderful Trieste.

The B&B Melograno was perfect for us. We slept very well, the room was quiet and the beds were very comfortable. We especially liked Fabio's hospitality, a person who obviously cares for his business and values dialogue with guests. Fabio recommended various places to eat and points of interest to visit. Based on his advice, we ate very well and created an itinerary to discover all the most beautiful places in the city, all on foot.

Fabio was a great host! We felt really comfortable! Good breakfast! Even our room was tidied up. We didn't expect that :-) Lots of information about Trieste and the surrounding area. Upon departure he called us a taxi and informed the taxi driver about our destination! If you're looking for a cozy small private accommodation, you're in good hands with Fabio.

I spent two pleasant nights at the b&b of Mr. Fabio, who is an exceptional, caring, and welcoming person. I had to leave earlier and he did not charge me for the last night. The room and the bathroom I shared with another guest were super clean. The breakfast was varied. The bus is very close and connected to the station. I will always refer to him for my future stays in Trieste. Thank you.

Fabio is a fantastic host, very professional, open for exchanges, and happy to provide you with the best advice on food/visits, etc. We found the apartment was clean and calm. Not very close to the city center by walk (20min) but well served by nearby buses (several lines). The only thing we didn't like was the rain during our stay! Thank you Fabio.

B&B extremely well-kept both in furnishings and cleanliness.

For a short vacation with two friends, we chose the Melograno B&B as our accommodation to visit the city of Trieste and some nearby locations: Muggia, Grado, Miramare, Duino, Aquileia. The Melograno is a bit far from the center but well served by public transport, however, with Fabio's tips, we managed to reach and visit almost all the planned destinations.

A truly delightful place, set in the context of an ancient building not too far from the center of the nightlife. Carefully and tastefully arranged by Fabio (the manager), a delightful, helpful, polite, kind, and prepared person. Ready to advise you on everything and everywhere. Spotless... the room is practically rearranged daily with a change of bath linens. Rich and varied breakfast. We stayed for 3 nights and had a great time (family: father, mother, daughter). I highly recommend it, you won't regret it, quite the opposite.

We stayed for 3 nights at B&B Il Melograno and we had a great time. We had the room Forget-me-not, which is beautiful and spacious as in the pictures. The property is in a residential area about 15/20 minutes walk from the center but there are some public transport stops nearby. There is no private parking but you can park on the street or in the surrounding streets, for free. Maximum cleanliness, order, and attention to detail in every area of the B&B. Varied and abundant breakfast. Mr. Fabio, the owner, has always been very kind and available to provide us with all the information on things to see in Trieste and on excellent places to eat, and also left us a nice gift on our departure, as a memento of our stay. We absolutely recommend Il Melograno for your holiday in Trieste!

Everything is extremely clean and fragrant. The manager, Mr. Fabio, is a very kind person, personally taking care of every aspect with taste. He provided us with all the necessary information to explore the city, and also directed us to a very nice trattoria for dinner. Breakfast with lots of choices. The property is in a slightly peripheral area, but the city center is easily reachable on foot in 20 minutes. We absolutely recommend Il Melograno.

Fabio, the manager, is very friendly and explains well how to move around the city. He gives excellent advice on places to eat fish, meat, ice cream, or local specialties. The house is very clean and tastefully decorated. The room is very nice and spacious. The only small inconvenience is that the bathroom is not in the room. The property is 2 kilometers from the center of Trieste, in a peripheral area where we had difficulty parking (as in the rest of the city). Nevertheless, we highly recommend it, well done Fabio!
