Sitting on the coast in the heart of the Gulf of Trieste is Portopiccolo Sistiana, a one-of-a-kind village in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeast Italy. More than a seaside resort, this unique jewel is ideal for year-round living, rich in history, culture, and nature, and car-free.
Elegant and tranquil, Portopiccolo is an environmentally conscious residential community that elevates slow seaside living to new heights.
The community features penthouses and apartments boasting modern, sustainable architecture, cutting-edge interiors, and private outdoor spaces, epitomizing tailored seaside living.

Unique Corner of the Upper Adriatic
Portopiccolo is a cutting-edge, eco-forward development, constructed using sustainable materials from the former Sistiana quarry. There’s a strong commitment to environmental requalification throughout, and a firm eye was kept on innovation and respecting the planet when designing the village.


In line with that, the residences don’t use gas and have A/A+ energy classifications, with zero carbon dioxide emissions thanks to renewable sources and a marine geothermal system. At the same time, they offer maximum comfort.
Wander around Portopiccolo, and you’ll spot a 5-star hotel, a world-class spa, an art gallery displaying Italian and international contemporary pieces, and an array of boutiques and ateliers.
Part of the development, Purobeach is an exclusive beach club that combines high-end gastronomy, delicious cocktails, and the best beach experiences.
The Marina of Portopiccolo welcomes yachts and sailing boats, offering 121 berths equipped with cutting-edge facilities and comprehensive services, including an expert team, excellent Wi-Fi coverage, and 24-hour video surveillance.
In terms of food, there’s Trattoria Pizzeria L’Oro di Napoli, fine-dining Ocyan, Purobeach, and Origine, a gourmet market and deli. For drinks, check out Azur Lounge Bar, Sangre de Uva, and Kong.

Residences for Sale: The Pearls of Portopiccolo
Portpopiccolo apartments are located in two areas of the development: Case nel Borgo and Case Terrazza. Each area has distinctive characteristics but is united by its eco credentials and refined style.
Case nel Borgo apartments overlook the village’s characterful alleys and have historic Venetian-inspired architecture. They’re available as studios, multi-room, and duplexes. Case Terrazza units are a more contemporary choice, boasting an elevated (and quieter) cliffside position.


The Portopiccolo Penthouses offer a new dimension of luxury with its expansive spaces, breathtaking views of the Gulf of Trieste, and the alluring customizable concept. Buyers have three penthouse options to choose from: Mistral, Libeccio, and Scirocco residences can be further tailored for a new owner.


All penthouses feature sea-facing terraces and outstanding amenities, including movie theaters, private spas, pools, and rooftop gardens. Every layout can be changed and personalized for the owner.


Whichever a buyer opt for, it’s elegant and light all the way, ensuring maximum functionality and comfort. High-quality materials and finishes add a luxurious feel.

Enchanting Coastal Location
Portopiccolo boasts a dreamy position by the sea, just 20 minutes from Trieste and close to the Croatian and Slovenian coasts. The unique place offers “the charm of an Italian village combined perfectly with a fully-equipped modern resort with an abundance of interesting activities.”


The exclusive community benefits from a minimalist spa overlooking the water that offers innovative techniques and a vast selection of treatments and wellness programs. Choose from indoor and outdoor pools, and be sure to check out the salt cave and the hot and cold rooms.


There’s a 121-berth marina with state-of-the-art equipment and a yacht club for lovers of sailing and the sea. That’s not all: “Purobeach” is an upscale spot with loungers and pools.
