Hotel Riviera & Maximilian's

The hotel locates at a really nice place, and is very close to the guest house of ICTP. It has perfect surroundings with great sight of the sea. The service is great too, both at the front desk and in the cafeteria.

When you are looking for the best hotel for couples in Trieste you found it. Beautiful scenery, sounds of the Sea and beach as a part of the hotel. What else ? Beautifull terrase with magnificient view and top Staff of the hotel is the right choice for you. Parking is for free and you could come also with electric car 😎

Since reviews seemed to be mixed was not sure what to expect but was delightfully surprised by how nice the hotel was. It was pleasant to be out of the hustle bustle of Trieste but easy enough to drive there. Getting to Miramar Castle on foot was a little complicated but doable. We thought the breakfasts were quite good, did not try the dinners. I recommend a room with a balcony- so lovely to look out over the water and have a place to sit outside in peace. There is a bar on the patio and gardens going down the hill slope but we really did not frequent any of that. I would highly recommend this place!

We were on a road trip through large parts of Italy. Nice convertible, top food and beautiful country as always. But it was 38° outside and we needed tow days at the beach. Coming down from Venice we are looking for a cool place around Trieste with guaranteed top sea access. We did not mind paying (July, no advance booking) for quality and after some search, we booked two nights in a suite at the hotel. Look at the rates, but what did it was the direct lift to the sea from the cliff top, Sorrento style. God, do I regret the money and those two days ! First disappointment were the rooms. I cannot call it a suite: just two adjacent narrow rooms, one with sea view but not comfortable with two sofas and a small desk, the bedroom being on the rear, no view. And a small bathroom straight form the seventies including a small shower with light aluminium doors. No bathtub. Well, after all there is the beach. We arrived late afternoon hot and exhausted, got some plastic cards from reception to get loungers and towels. Took the lift and the doors opened to a paying public beach, a bar with awfully bad and loud live music. No towels, the reception was closed (17:30). Went back up (small and slow lift, lots of people form the public beach), requested towels from reception. Went back down and tried to enjoy sunset while the band was playing and the manager started to close loungers and making us feel we had overextended our stay. I could go on and on. I won't. We ate out as we did not want to take any more risks. All in all worth about a tenth of the price we paid.

Absolutely fantastic Beautiful hotel. Fantastic levels of service. Free upgrade. Room was spacious comfortable and a wonderful view. Crazy lift down to the sea and private deck. Superb food.
