Escape to Trieste: Seriously, Affittacamere Berzi REALLY Awaits! (My Honest Take)
Okay, folks, let's cut the travel brochure fluff and TALK. You're looking at Trieste, right? Thinking of escaping? Well, LISTEN UP, because Affittacamere Berzi is a name that pops up. And I, having just dragged my weary suitcase – which, let's be honest, probably weighs more than a small child – through the cobblestones of this beautiful city, am here to give you the REAL scoop. This review is gonna get a little… real.
First Impressions (and a bit of a fumble):
Finding Affittacamere Berzi was… an adventure. Trieste streets, bless their charming hearts, are not always the most straightforward to navigate. My navigation app, which I've affectionately nicknamed "She's a Liar," led me on a merry chase. But! That’s part of the charm, right? You stumble, you curse under your breath (in Italian, of course, for maximum effect), and then… BAM! You find the place. And suddenly the initial grumbles vanish.
The Room: My Tiny Sanctuary (and the Coffee That Saved My Sanity):
My room? It wasn't a palatial suite, let's be clear. But it was… comfortable. And after a day of exploring, all I wanted was comfortable. The air conditioning blasted out a welcome hug (essential; you'll get the sweat-beads in Trieste), and the blackout curtains were an absolute godsend for someone like me, who sleeps like a vampire. The wi-fi [free] actually worked perfectly. That's a win right there. There was a coffee/tea maker, which I deployed immediately upon arrival. Complimentary tea? Yes. Coffee/tea in restaurant? Double-yes! They get it. They REALLY get tired travelers.
Accessibility – A Mixed Bag (Let’s Be Honest):
Now, the accessibility is where things got a little… complicated. The elevator was a blessing. Thankfully, I didn't personally need full wheelchair accessibility, but I noticed the entrance wasn't completely flat. They offer facilities for disabled guests, which is a great thing. But definitely call ahead and specifically ask about the exact layout and specific needs. Don't make any assumptions!
Food, Glorious Food (and That Amazing Breakfast):
Okay, I’ma gush a little. The breakfast [buffet] at Affittacamere Berzi was fantastic. We are talking a glorious spread of fresh pastries, cheeses, fruits, and the most delicious coffee I’ve had in ages. They also offered Asian breakfast and Western breakfast. I was too busy shoveling down the Italian goodies to test the Asian options, but the sheer possibility was impressive. Plus, the staff were incredibly attentive to my requests for more coffee. Let's be honest, that's the most important thing! This wasn’t a fancy-pants, pretentious breakfast. It felt real, and it felt… caring.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking (and the Search for Late-Night Grub):
While they have a restaurant (with a bar!), and offered 24-hour room service, they don't have a dedicated late-night dining option. That’s a minor bummer, but it's a trade-off for the central location - you're right in the heart of the city, so it's easy to find something to eat later on. Plus, with a convenience store nearby, you can always stock up on snacks. The bottle of water they provide in the room is a nice touch.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (and the Spa Dreams):
Trieste itself is the attraction, but if you’re looking to chill on-site, the options were limited. There’s no pool with view, no spa, no sauna, etc. But honestly, that's not what you go to Trieste for, is it? This is all about exploring! The terrace is a lovely spot. And hey, if you are lucky you might be able to rent some bicycle parking or use a car park [free of charge] near the hotel.
Cleanliness and Safety (aka Pandemic Panic Mode):
Look, 2024, we’re still doing this COVID dance. But Affittacamere Berzi takes it seriously. I saw hand sanitizer everywhere. They offer professional-grade sanitizing services. They have a safe dining setup. Everyone wore masks, and it felt VERY clean. All good stuff.
Services and Conveniences (and the Importance of a Smiling Concierge):
The Concierge was the real MVP. Every single time. He gave me some recommendations for restaurants, helped me find a pharmacy, and even managed to book a taxi at the last minute during a major festival. Daily housekeeping? Check. Laundry service? Yep. They even offer currency exchange. It's those small things that make your life easier.
Getting Around:
Trieste is a fairly walkable city. But if you're not up for walking, they can arrange an airport transfer and taxi service. And, of course, they have car park [free of charge].
For the Kids (and the Babysitter That Never Came):
They have family/child-friendly options, but I didn't see any kids, so I can't tell you too much about it. They also have babysitting service.
The Verdict: Would I Go Back? Definitely.
Affittacamere Berzi isn’t perfect. It’s not some five-star luxury palace. But it's got heart. It's comfortable. It's clean. The staff are genuinely nice – that's a big deal. And it's perfectly located for exploring Trieste. Plus, that breakfast… I still dream of it.
Here’s My Honest, Human Breakdown:
- Pros: Fantastic location, delicious breakfast, helpful staff, clean, comfortable rooms, free Wi-Fi that actually works.
- Cons: No pool, no spa, may not be perfectly accessible for all, some late-night dining limitations, parking spot hunt.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This ain't your grandma's perfectly-organized travel itinerary. This is… my attempt at experiencing Trieste, Italy, while staying at the Affittacamere Berzi. And trust me, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Day 1: Arrival & Existential Pizza Crisis
Morning (ish): Flight lands in Trieste. Except it almost didn’t. Lost luggage anxiety almost sent me into a full-blown panic attack at the baggage carousel. Eventually, my trusty backpack (which I'd stashed with emergency chocolate and a book about Wittgenstein – don’t judge my coping mechanisms) emerged victorious. Whew. Found the Affittacamere Berzi – a cute little place, all mismatched furniture and a courtyard that whispers, "Stay awhile, darling." The owner, a woman named Signora Bianchi, greeted me with a hug and a pronouncement of "Benvenuta, cara!" which instantly made me feel like I wasn't just a tourist but a… well, someone who might accidentally order the wrong pizza topping.
Afternoon: Settled in. Room's… cozy. Okay, it's small. But hey! The view from the tiny balcony is of a vibrant, slightly crumbling street, full of hanging laundry and gossiping locals, which makes me immediately feel like I'm in a movie (a low-budget, slightly-unhinged movie, but a movie nonetheless). Then, the existential dread kicked in: What if I can't understand the menu? What if they judge my terrible Italian? What if the pizza is… wrong?
Evening: Forced myself out for pizza. Found a place called "Pizzeria del Sole" – looked promising. Stood there, dithering at the counter, attempting to order a pizza. After a series of stammers and bewildered hand gestures, I think I ordered a Margherita. Watched the pizza being made with a mixture of terror and fascination. The moment of truth… it was divine. Crust perfectly crisp, mozzarella melting, basil fragrant. I devoured it. Twice. Then walked back to the Affittacamere Berzi, stomach full of pizza and soul full of… well, less terror.
Day 2: The Coffee Conundrum & A Brush with the Bora
Morning: Coffee. This is Trieste, the land of coffee! I was determined to master the art of ordering the perfect espresso. This, however, was a monumental task. The sheer number of coffee variants! Un caffè (easy). Cappuccino (sort of easy). "Un macchiato?!" (Total panic). Tried ordering a macchiato at a bustling cafe, ended up with something resembling a latte. The barista, bless his heart, just shrugged and said, "Va bene, cara." Okay, fine. Eventually, I managed to find a bar that served good coffee, and I went there every morning
Afternoon: Ventured towards the sea! Trieste is beautiful; the Adriatic glistens, and the buildings are a beautiful mix of old and new. I decided to walk along the waterfront (called the "Rive"). But, the wind picked up. Suddenly, I was fighting to stay upright! The Bora wind, famous in Trieste, a furious force that felt like a physical manifestation of all my anxieties. I loved it, actually! The wind, the waves, the seagulls! The city suddenly seemed wild and alive.
Evening: Tried to find a restaurant. Wandered around the town, getting increasingly hungry and increasingly lost. The streets are a maze! Ended up in a tiny trattoria that looked utterly unremarkable from the outside. The menu? All Italian, of course. The waiter? A gruff but kind man who, despite my terrible Italian, patiently helped me translate. I ate the most amazing seafood pasta of my life. The kind of food that makes you close your eyes and just… sigh. I might've shed a tear. Don't judge me.
Day 3: The Literary Leanings & The Castle's Charm
Morning: Trieste is a city of writers. Joyce, Svevo… I felt obligated to immerse myself in the literary scene. Took a (terrible) walking tour of the city, trying to feel intellectually superior and pretending I knew more than I did. Visited a bookstore, then spent more time staring at the titles than actually reading them. The only good thing was the purchase of a beautiful, slightly oversized copy of "Ulysses" (which is now sitting unread, staring back at me).
Afternoon: Decided to do something less intellectual and more… picturesque. Headed to the Castello di Miramare. The views of the Adriatic from this ridiculously gorgeous castle are mind-blowing. The castle itself is a Disney-esque dream, which made me feel slightly silly; standing there, daydreaming like I was a princess. The gardens were lovely too, filled with flowers and the scent of the sea. Definitely instagrammable… though I only took one picture of the view - and it wasn’t a good one.
Evening: Food time again. I’m starting to recognize the faces at my favorite cafe. This time, I ended up at another trattoria, where I ordered gnocchi. The sauce? Divine. I'm pretty sure I’m gaining weight, but I don't care. Feeling a sense of acceptance of my flaws, my inability to master Italian, and my penchant for eating and being a total awkward tourist.
Day 4: Bora Re-visited & Farewell, Trieste
- Morning: Woke up. The Bora was howling. But this time, I didn’t mind. Walked along the "Rive" again, letting the wind whip through my hair and reminding me I really am alive. Had one last amazing coffee.
- Afternoon: Spent hours looking at the sea, wishing I could stay forever. Packed my belongings (the luggage that had arrived). Signora Bianchi gave me another hug, and told me to come back soon. I actually felt a pang of sadness as I walked away.
- Evening: Departure. At the airport, I reflected on Trieste. It was beautiful, chaotic, and a little bit messy, just like me. I left with a full stomach, a slightly bewildered grasp of Italian, and a newfound appreciation for the power of the Bora wind. I'll be back. Maybe next time, I'll even try to order a caffè corretto… wish me luck.
