The suspended enchantment between sea and rockIn the heart of the Porticciolo di Duino, where the Karst landscape meets the blue of the Gulf, stands what we like to call the most fascinating villa of the Gulf of Trieste.A residence that is not merely a home, but a true sensory experience: it holds within it its own private sea cave, a natural cavity that opens directly onto the water, embraced by rock and illuminated by shimmering reflections that turn every moment into pure magic.Here, the gentle sound of the water entering the cave blends with silence, creating an atmosphere of absolute relaxation.Completing this unique setting is an elegant Private Sun Terrace, an exclusive solarium overlooking the sea. It offers a direct and privileged connection to the water — an intimate place to unwind and bask in the sun and the breath of the Gulf.Designed by architect Romano Boico, a Triestine master who knew how to merge modernity and landscape in iconic works, this villa is a truly signature home: a timeless retreat, where architecture and nature converse in perfect harmony.The villa in detail:With its approximately 310 sqm, the villa unfolds through bright spaces that constantly dialogue with the sea and the protective Karst rock.Upon entering, one is greeted by a living area with wide windows overlooking the sea and the maritime pines framing the landscape — offering a feeling of complete immersion in nature.From the entrance, on the right, lies the service area, featuring a bedroom, bathroom, and laundry. Next follows the kitchen, directly connected to both the living area and the outdoors — ideal for organizing open-air dinners and gatherings.To the left of the foyer lies the guest sleeping area, consisting of three bedrooms with custom wardrobes and a shared bathroom.Climbing to the first floor, the home reveals its jewel: the master suite, an authentic nest above the sea. Spacious and panoramic, it features a private bathroom and integrated walk-in wardrobe, cleverly using the attic’s space with custom fittings that blend comfort and elegance.Also on the first floor, a cozy landing leads to an attic room, which can be used as a versatile service area (storage, study, or creative space).Outside, the garden becomes the natural extension of the house: a green oasis embraced by rock, ensuring protection and livability throughout the year. From both the garden and living area, one enjoys a privileged view of the sea cave, while a suggestive Karst path winds through the rocks, leading to the stunning Private Sun Terrace on the sea.Within the garden, a barbecue area built entirely of stone acts as a natural continuation of the home. Harmoniously integrated into the rock, this sheltered space allows for outdoor cooking even on cooler days — becoming a true outdoor kitchen in service of the villa.A convivial, charming setting designed for authentic open-air living.
