Tivoli Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of Tivoli Portopiccolo Sistiana Wellness Resort & Spa in the Gulf of Trieste in northern Italy, marking the brand's first hotel in the country.
The hotel has also announced two new partnerships: Purobeach Portopiccolo, the beach club that brings the Mediterranean lifestyle to the coast of the North Adriatic, and Terme di Saturnia, a Tuscan wellness brand that will operate the spa.
Set in the Duino Cliffs Nature Reserve, the property is situated in the mixed-use development of Portopiccolo, with its private beach overlooking the ocean alongside neighboring restaurants and bars, shops, and a luxury marina that provides access to ocean adventures.
The resort has 58 guestrooms, including 20 suites, with views of the marina and the sea, in addition to 30 branded apartments. The leisure facilities include six swimming pools, with one just for adults, the Purobeach Portopiccolo area and the green beach, where families can relax on the lawns overlooking both the sea and a pool.
Now open for its first season on the Adriatic Coast, Purobeach Portopiccolo further enhances the leisure and gastronomic offerings of the hotel. Here, guests will find a selection of lounge areas: one by the harbor pool near the restaurant and bar with sunbeds and unique sounds by Puro music DJ sets; two terraces dotted with infinity pools, soft white sunbeds and a chiringuito for snacks and cocktails; a white pebble beach with docks jutting out over the water; and the green beach area that is well-suited for families, with its pool and beachfront loungers.
Food lovers take note: The hotel has an ethnic-inspired menu by 3M (Melbourne, Marrakech and Miami), which pairs Salmon Poke, Nachos and Guacamole, and the Puro Club Sandwich with local Italian specialties like pastas, risotto, fresh fish and seafood. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner.
Located in the main hotel building with a terrace overlooking the marina, Ocyan restaurant offers gourmet Mediterranean cuisine, featuring fresh fish and seasonal local ingredients. Smoked Spaghetti with Clams from the Gulf of Trieste, Cabras Bottarga and Marjoram; Tortelli with Trieste-style Goulash, Montasio Soubise Sauce and Brown Reduction; and Adriatic Red Mullet, Smoked Provola, Escarole and Romesco Sauce are some of the signature dishes of the region. A tasting menu of three, four or five courses and wine pairings is also available.
The Azur Lounge Bar serves snacks and light lunches, such as salads and sandwiches, ceviche, steak tartar, pasta and local fish, while the bar’s terrace is ideal for aperitifs at sunset with panoramic views overlooking the marina and the sea.
Launching later this year, an expansive 38,000-square-foot spa will be operated by Terme di Saturnia. The facilities include eight spacious treatment rooms, including a panoramic couple’s spa suite, a large indoor/outdoor vitality pool with sea views, as well as saunas and steam rooms. Terme di Saturnia utilizes the knowledge and skills it have developed in Maremma Tuscany. Its operations are set within a 297-acre natural environment that features a unique thousand-year-old thermal spring. Inside the main hotel building there is a wellness and fitness center, with a sauna, steam room and a fully equipped gymnasium.
Nearby, guests can explore the city of Trieste and discover attractions, including the Castle of Duino and Miramare Castle. For those looking to discover further abroad, Slovenia and Croatia are easily accessible. The resort is a 20-minute drive to Trieste Airport and just one-hour from the Venice, Treviso and Ljubljana airports.
With a journey that dates back to 1933 in Lisbon, Portugal, Tivoli Hotels & Resorts is now closing a year of celebrations of its 90th anniversary with special guest experiences, like the "Tivoli Timeless Tour" and "The Room 90," available here.
