Situated in Muggia, in the popular Mediterranean yacht charter destination – Italy, and just a few hours cruising from Venice to the west and Croatia to the South, the Porto San Rocco is a superyachts’ playground. Close to Trieste, this port plays a host to a world-class Camper & Nicholsons‘ superyacht marina, with a rich maritime history as well as excellent five-star facilities, both on sea and land. What makes Muggia so unique is that it represents the only Istrian corner remaining that honours all manners of Venetian culture, from architecture to cuisine and dialect.
Both on land and sea the traveller’s wish is Porto San Rocco’s command; it has it all. For the active, Porto San Rocco boasts a fitness centre with a fully equipped gym and also a bike hire facility- the best way to explore neighbouring areas. For those wanting to be pampered there is the beauty salon. This salon teases the traveller to spoil themselves with massaging sunbeds and treatments. There is also plenty of opportunity to relax by the port’s magnificent outdoor pool, tantalise taste buds in nearby restaurants and explore the boutique shops.
On Sea:
Designed by celebrated architect Luigi Vetti, this luxury yacht marina, serves as an unrivalled base for those cruising the Adriatic this season. This region is blessed with fantastic conditions and stunning landscapes.
On Land:
Best Coffee: Caffe Tommaseo gives the visitor a taste of Viennese heritage with it being the oldest cafe in Trieste. Vibrant with a totally eclectic mix of people this Italian treasure offers character, eccentricity and culture. Just how Porto San Rocco is rich in history so is Caffe Tommaseo’s coffee in flavour.
Best Lunch: Italian cuisine is renowned for its regional diversity, with influences from bordering countries. This shines through at the 100 year old Buffet da Pepi in Trieste, an authentic restaurant which offers mouth watering platters of meat from the local regions of Friuli Venezia Giulia from Slovenia and Austria. Combine this with the ever present smiles of the waiters and warm atmosphere, and travellers are in culinary heaven.
Best Supper: To capture Porto San Rocco’s natural beauty, guests should visit the hilltop Ristorante Scheriani where local ingredients and meats can be enjoyed and Italian wine sipped, whilst taking in panoramic views over the Slovenia’s coastline.
