About this property

A spacious historic 3 Bedroom Villa minutes from beach and Duino Castle

This 254 sqm original stone house is completely restored. Being the original house in the village, it has served as the City Hall, Osteria, School, and stables. Today it is a welcome tranquil getaway, with 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, Livingroom, Family room, Library, laundry room, reading nook, and kitchen. For those that have guests, two of the bedrooms and one bath are accessible by stone stairs as an independent area of the house.

2 bedrooms and a bath have their own entrance. Perfect for couples traveling that want privacy yet staying within the same home.

A large front yard, fig trees, olive trees, and lower garden area provide an enjoyable outdoor space with views of the sea.
This house is a perfect fit for those looking to immerse themselves in a local Italian community, with walking access to a 4 star restaurant, local Osmisa’s open during certain times of the year, and nearby areas like Trieste, and hours away from the Alps for skiing. You’ll being living in a home, not a house or apartment.

LOCATION: this unique village is situated just 25 minutes from the city of Trieste, right on the border with Slovenia (20 minutes with the car) and with the Croazia. The city of Lubiana (very beautiful, international, vivacious, fascinating) can be visited or to choose the famous Croatian coast for its clear and crystalline sea, the islands of Cherso and Vigil, the cities of Parenzo sea and Rovigno. A few hours from the Austrian border and city of Salzburg, or head to the Alps and ski town of San Canidido.

Lovely

We stayed two weeks in a beautiful and historic house in Slivia . We were welcomed by the owners wife and daughter. They were very friendly and helpful. The house is equipped with tasteful furniture, everything one needs and the refrigerator was full with a variety of drinks. There even was a selection of food. With the house comes a nice secluded garden where it is good to rest after a busy day. And when the temperature gets too hot, the airco inside will cool you down. The small village of Slivia has beautiful surroundings. There are several trails to walk with fantastic views over the countryside and the blue Adriatic. Its 5 minutes to the beach in Sistiana, or a 45 minutes’ walk if you do not want to cruise around for a parking spot. A tip: buy the FVG-card at the tourist office in Sistiana. We took the seven-day version. You can visit several museums and other attractions all over Friuli (Trieste, Udine, Gorizia and many more places). For six Euros more you can travel for free on the local busses. During our stay the owners kept in contact, so as to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you Larry and Silvia.

Ein kleines Paradies, mit Blick zum Meer. Beim Hinterausgang fällt man quasi in eine großartige Osteria. Wander- und Spazierwege sind vom Haus aus möglich, nicht weit entfernt ist eine bezaubernde Osmiza. Nach Triest, Miramare, Duino, Görz, usw. ist es ein Katzensprung.

Résidence très cosy où on se sent chez soi

Nous étions 5 et cette villa spacieuse a ravi tous les vacanciers par ses vastes espaces intérieurs et extérieurs rénovés avec goût ; sa situation géographique permet de visiter Venise mais aussi d'aller jusqu'en Croatie, et nous avons également apprécié le calme de la localité qui se prêtait au repos. L'accueil particulière chaleureux nous a mis immédiatement à l'aise et nous y serions rester avec plaisir si les vacances n'arrivaient pas à leur terme. Un grand merci à tous pour votre gentillesse et la qualité du lieu.

Schönes, geräumiges, altes Haus mit viel Platz für die ganze Familie. Unbedingte Empfehlung!

Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig in einem kleinen Dorf, man ist aber schnell am Meer oder in Triest oder in Duino. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und mit schönen alten Möbeln ausgestattet. Wir haben uns viel in der großen Wohnküche aufgehalten, da dort auch ein feiner Pellets-Ofen steht. Es gibt ausreichend Geschirr und auch die wichtigsten Dinge zum Kochen wurden uns zur Verfügung gestellt. Wir haben 5 Tage über den Jahreswechsel im Haus verbracht. Die Nächte sind zu dieser Zeit sehr kalt, aber die kuscheligen Decken und eine durchlaufende Heizung haben uns in unseren Betten warm gehalten. Die freundlichen Schwiegereltern von Larry wohnen in der Nähe und haben uns willkommen geheißen. Sie waren auch immer ansprechbar und sofort da, als wir einmal mit der Heizung Probleme hatten. Wir haben uns im Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Es muss im Sommer wunderbar sein, wenn man auch den großzügigen, gepflegten Garten nutzen und einfach die Türen offen lassen kann. Vielen Dank nochmals an die freundlichen Gastgeber und wir kommen gerne wieder.

Lovely beautiful homy house with garden

We loved our stay in this beautiful homy house, historical yet carefully renovated. Situated in a idyllic village near the spectacular coast between Duino and Trieste. We enjoyed the secluded garden. You must have a car. Owner Larry is a perfect host, friendly, easy and fast to get answers and supoort if needed.

About the host

Hosted by Larry Kading

Host profile image
We have always searched for the perfect home in Italy in a region we dearly love. It took 7 years to find this place, and find it is a place the family can enjoy and experience a home life away from the busy city life in California. As travelers, we also know that experiencing local life outside of the Hotel experience is a key part to understanding the place you are visiting, so it's our opportunity to share the experience with others that are looking for a few days of 'living like the locals'.

Why they chose this property

Nestled in the small village of Slivia, the location provides central access to beaches, nightlife, and the bustling city of Trieste. From here it's easy to get to Slovenia, Croatia as well as north to the Alps and Austria. For those looking for day trips, Venice is 90 minutes by train with fast trains to Milan and other northern cities.

What makes this property unique

Unlike a newer house, this Villa is over 200 years old but fully restored for comfort, while keeping the original charm. For those wishing to emerse themselves in Italian living, and relax at night with a glass of wine, or local grappa while enjoying the friendly nature of this village of 130 people. Just 20 meters behind the house in the village is a 4 star local restaurant, with Osmisa's being open during certain periods of the year.
