    Alenka was the perfect hostess! Super helpful and even drove us to the local bus station to help orientate us! Location was perfect with good local transport connections to Trieste. We would love to come back again when we have more time!

    Es ist ein kleiner ruhiger Ort. Wer Erholung sucht, Zweisamkeit genießen möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Die Unterkunft ist zwar etwas abgelegen, aber mit dem Bus (Nr.42) in ca. 30 Minuten, mit einem atemberaubendem Blick über das Meer, in der...

Newly renovated, very cool, tastefully furnished traditional Karst house on two floors with wooden balcony in the center of the village of Borgo Grotta Gigante. It has 1 bedroom and additional sofa bed, balcony, living room with TV, private bathroom, kitchenette, balcony. The facility has also been adapted to accommodate small children (crib, safety gate, high chair for meals...). There is also the availability of a bicycle storage room in the immediate vicinity of the facility.
The house is located in the center of Borgo Grotta Gigante, a small, very quiet Karst village located in the municipality of Sgonico, just a few kilometers from Opicina and Prosecco, in the vicinity of the A4 highway (Prosecco/Sgonico exits about 2-3 km away). In the surroundings of the village there are numerous opportunities for trekking and cycling (both road and mountain biking). Also in the vicinity of Prosecco is the Strada Napoleonica, which offers a variety of rock climbing routes with breathtaking views of the sea. About 500m away is the famous Grotta Gigante; the center of Trieste is about 10 km away. The village is served by bus line 42, which goes directly to Trieste and Opicina. Despite the presence of public transportation, it is recommended to reach the facility by your own vehicle. Nearby are the restaurants/pizzerias "Dom Bistro" and "Salvia&Rosmarino" and the wellness center "Avalon." In addition, in the village there is the farmhouse "Šuc", which performs both direct sales service and cold tastings of cold meats, cheeses and wines. Finally, in the neighboring villages, you can always find an open "osmiza" to taste local products.
