Villa Gruber
La casa del sole
"The house, which enchanted me when I was little, was soon dubbed the House of the Sun, and hundreds of people would photograph it in the summer."
The House of the Sun, named so thanks to the work of Carlo Sbisà, a ceramic bas-relief positioned on the façade depicting the colorful course of the hours of the day, was built in the early 1900s and renovated in the 1950s by the Gruber Benco family, intellectuals and writers from Trieste. They imparted their great artistic and cultural charm to the property, still perceptible today.
Villa Gruber, nestled in an extensive garden of about 1200 square meters, continues to enchant today, preserving its unique aura beyond time. With an elegant view of the Gulf, it maintains its secluded position in the characteristic harbor of Duino.
Currently both a reception facility and a private residence, it can be envisioned as a small charming hotel or as a stately home. Developed over three floors, totaling approximately 470 square meters, it has the ideal characteristics for a versatile use, both for tourism and residential purposes. The property consists of 8 elegant rooms with private bathrooms, sea-view terraces, two spacious living areas, and an independent apartment of about 120 square meters. In addition to the extensive tree-lined park surrounding the property, there is also a large private parking area with a capacity for approximately 10 cars.
A unique opportunity for those who appreciate buildings with singular charm.
