The street to arrive to the villa (and the parking is very narrow. Pay attention! I decided to park in the surroundings where you can find many other possibilities for free.

The villa is a very nice place and the room has all you need.

The narrow drive up the hill to the property!

There is a pool in the garden and our room had a good sitting out area. The property is some way from the city centre but there is a bus service. We did not take the breakfast option.

Paying for the coffee capsules (never had to pay before in Italy). We also had some ventilation issues during the night (27 degrees - too hot for a Swede), but since the staff leave the building in the evenings we never got around to sort it out. Instead we just switched off the electricity from the fuse board at the entrance of the room.

Beauuutiful villa, great service and a pretty garden. Loved the room, the pool, the quiet location. Free parking, easy to walk into town (20 minutes). Used the wellness area which filled the purpose :)

As many have noted, you need to be a confident driver to access the property as the road is very narrow and cobblestoned, and I don't recommend that big SUVs try--I would park in the University area above the property and just walk in a bit. They did a great job marking the roads to get there though.

We loved the size of our little apartment/studio, and wished we could have enjoyed the balcony access (sadly it rained the entire time there). It was large, well-appointed, and everything in the kitchen was stainless steel and in great condition. The staff, from booking to departure, were all wonderful. We enjoyed the wellness area too, though it wasn't cheap (80 euro for 2 hours). The sauna and steam rooms were great, but the jacuzzi pool was a bit cool for our taste. We also loved the private parking and secure gate access, and that the property was outside the main city--it was very quiet. Also, the a/c worked great, and we appreciated them being pet-friendly. We didn't try the pool, but it looked very clean and inviting. The walk wasn't hard back from Trieste, so if you are fit, don't worry--it was beautiful and fun.

The approach road was very narrow but this is Italy so just breathe in!

An elegant period villa in a tranquil garden with swimming pool. The staff were lovely too.

The breakfast isn't buffet-style, but considering the setting, it's understandable. At 15 euros per person, it might seem a bit pricey, especially if there's no room for indulging, but perhaps the experience and ambiance make up for it.

The main advantage of the villa is that it has its own parking which is a rarity in Trieste. But be prepared to drive on a very steep and narrow street to arrive at the villa. The villa is situated in a tranquil area, surrounded by lush gardens and trees, making it a peaceful retreat.

The bathrooms could be updated. But was still very functional & spotlessly clean.

We loved Villa Bottacin because it was a little haven away from the city, but very easy to get from there to all main attractions using public transport. The pool was open during our stay May 9-12, so it was lovely to have a swim & relax in garden after a day sightseeing. While the road up is very narrow & steep with cobblestones it is still accessible for most people.

It’s a beautiful location, but the drive up the hill is steep and narrow - so make sure you’re aware of that if you’re coming by car.

The hotel, as well as the city of Trieste are just enchanting. Beatrice at reception gave us an umbrella and the best restaurant recommendations (try Eataly)! The gentleman who cooked breakfast was cheerful and made us the best scrambled eggs and coffee. Parking free on the premises is a big plus.

breakfast was OK, but for 15e per person, I expected much more also, we had only 2 coffee caplsules in the room and we stayed for 2 nights

location is good it is a bit far from the city center , like 30min walking but we used a bus nO 9 , you can get to the city by bus in like 10min which was great

The interiors were plain and without any coherence with the beauty of the building. Modern, clean, comfortable but absent of the presence of the history of the place.

Beautiful property with a unique history and architecture

Yes the road to the property is narrow and steep. BUT… we have a large SUV and were able to drive up.

Location - walking distance to downtown Trieste and Old Town Facilities- large studio with kitchenette and private bathroom Staff-very pleasant and helpful staff who speaks English Access-the property (including parking) is gated and surrounded by a high wall. The gate can only be opened from the inside so it is very safe. As far as finding the property we had no problem: we used WAZE which led us right to the gate and in addition the Villa provided detailed instructions and a map. Parking-free and onsite, something very rare in Trieste We never tried the breakfast so can’t comment on that The description states a minimum of three nights stay. I asked if they would accept a two night reservation and they agreed so it is worth to ask.

Hotel in the very beautiful villa in the botanic garden. Closer to university then to city center. But city center can be easily reached by public transport.

The signs are too small. They could provide better directions upfront. Pictures don't portray how "tight" the location is, especially if you have a car.

Getting to and not the property is a little difficult due to the narrow driveway. Hard to find even on google.

Quiet location. Property is beautiful. Front desk is helpful and accommodating. Plenty of on site parking. Rooms are nice but latte tight.

Felt it was overpriced for time of the year...end of season...pool closed. We had been renting apartments past 5 weeks in Croatia and Slovenia.....paid less many times for newer places in great locations (even Dubrovnik).

Gorgeous property.....superior suite was very spacious and came with an oversized balcony. Walking distance to a mall, centre of town, the Port and restaurants was OK if you are inclined to walk. If you're not, this property might be bit out of the way.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is excellent. Location is up on a hill, in a silent and green area. It is close to the city center, you can walk down to the Harbour on the very charming V.le Venti Settembre (a street full of restaurants gelaterias and cinemas) in 20 minutes - although last part back to the Villa is quite steep so it is hard when you already tired.. :) Also there are two buses stopping nearby any you can use #6 straight to Miramare Castello

Internet was very slow. I was hoping to use it to FaceTime but it was too slow. So instead I had to use up a significant amount of data on my carrier. But there is 5g in the area.

Newly updated or new. Very nice, and gated.
