Where rolling hills meet the Adriatic.

Charming countryside cottages, Rolling vineyards across the Collio vineyards, Miramare Castle on its rocky promontory

Three nights at La Subida surround you with the vine-covered slopes and peaceful woodlands of the Collio. A unique countryside retreat with charming scattered cottages, it offers a relaxed pace to explore the surrounding landscape by bicycle or Vespa, with private driver visits to nearby cellars celebrating Friuli's world-renowned wine traditions. Transitioning from countryside to coast, Trieste reveals its distinctive multicultural soul.
