Location
The house is in quiet countryside just 30 minutes from the Italian coast on the Gulf of Trieste. For visitors who want to escape into unspoiled nature, there are well-marked trails through pristine forests in the Riserva Naturale del Monte Lanaro (32 minutes) which is on the Italian side of the border.

The multi-cultural port city of Trieste, is only 30 minutes away and well worth a day trip. The city’s main market in Riva Ottaviano Augusto is open from Tuesday to Saturday and is the best place to pick up the freshest local fruit and vegetables. Nearby visitors will find some beautiful beaches, including Canovella degli Zoppoli (32 minutes) and close by Le Ginestre beach (33 minutes)
Away from the coast, the area is famous for its rock formations, caves and subterranean rivers. Skocjan Caves (35 minutes) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a spectacular series of caves, stalagmites and stalactites. Wine has been produced in the region for thousands of years, so a trip to one of the nearby vineyards is a must. The Fedora Natural Wine Estate (13 minutes) is over 100 years old. They will arrange a wine tasting for you, but you need to book in advance.
