Quiet and relaxing private location. Everything is at hand, a separate private beach with sunbeds and service. There is a good bistro and an excellent restaurant by the sea and swimming pools. I greet Florian... At the Tivoli Hotel, we were attended to by a very friendly concierge, Pietro, to whom I thank and greet...

At breakfast, some of the waiters were a bit "off" and we didn't get a cocktail in the Longue bar. But that's nothing important...

Beautifully decorated Wonderful service from staff

The beach beds were awful - we spent over £2k for 2 nights in 2 rooms …this included 2 evening meals and drinks ….surely for that amount of money we could have been given a pool bed!!!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The location is outstanding - conveniently situated near key attractions, making exploration effortless. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring every aspect of our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their warm hospitality truly enhanced the overall experience. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, reflecting a high standard of cleanliness and care. The hotel’s atmosphere was both inviting and aesthetically pleasing, creating a relaxing environment that felt like a home away from home.

The dining experience left room for improvement. While the food quality was commendable, the variety was limited, and the menu became repetitive over the course of my stay. Additionally, there were instances where coffee orders were forgotten, and I noticed that some waitstaff had issues with personal hygiene, which detracted from the overall dining experience. On a personal note, I found certain dishes, like the salmon tartare, not to my taste, though this is subjective.

When was the last time you came across a maître d'hôtel who sees his job as an art form of creating memorable moments? Fabrizio deserves a PhD in hospitality, as does the rest of the team. Catarina is a receptionist who doubles as a well-versed local guide and a professional from head to toe. She remained tolerant and kind even when a demanding guest vexed her over the phone. How wonderful it is to be a guest in a hotel where you are not just a number but a cherished guest for whom each staff member goes the extra mile. The extraordinary experience continued at breakfast The new management, Minor Hotels, understands the essence of hospitality. Their involvement is a guarantee of quality. Their portfolio comprises over 550 hotels spread around the globe. Are you familiar with names such as Anantara, Avani or NH Hotels? Finally, we must compare the former Hotel Falisia with the new Hotel Tivoli. A breath of fresh air and a new hospitable approach have helped the hotel evolve. The architecture is ageing elegantly, acquiring a refined patina. Not least, the diversified offerings give the hotel substance. The question remains: which is better - the former Hotel Falisia or the new Hotel Tivoli? Although we prefer to avoid answering such questions, the numbers speak for themselves. Hotel Tivoli is captivating and designed for those who want premium quality. In this light, Tivoli Portopiccolo Resort is eyeing other flagship incentive hotels that dot the Adriatic and aiming to claim the top spot.

Access from the road could be better labelled. That means you may end up at the wrong entrance. Apart from this, the hotel seems flawless.

Staff, breakfast and a hotel itself

We had reservation for room with balcony/terrace, but we get a room only with windows without balcony

It was such a lovely place and the staff was very friendly.

It was very difficult to find. I was traveling by car.

We were warmly greeted on arrival. We arrived at 12.30pm and our room was not ready. So, the receptionist kindly said we can use one of the spa rooms to get changed and suggested we go over to the beach club. The beach club is a great addition, although we did have to pay more to get access to the pool. We received a text when the room was ready and it was beautiful, on the front of the marina and very well decorated. The bathroom was lovely. The only issue was that the shower door didn't allow for a towel to be placed down whilst opening into the main bathroom area. We didn't realize breakfast was only served until 10.30am, so despite us arriving around that time the receptionist kindly let us in regardless. He was very helpful when we asked to call for a taxi, however we were surprised and had no idea that a hotel would have trouble getting a taxi into the main city of Trieste! Fortunately some other guests were very kind to let us ride with them - all arranged by the receptionist. Fantastic service and made the overall panic over missing our cruise disappear!

Despite asking the receptionist whom suggested different lunch places to eat in Portopiccolo, they were all closed when we went to them. He was not aware that they would be closed. A shame as during the day you'd think they would be open for guests! There was a huge thunderstorm during the day when we were at the Purobeach club. There was not enough space for everyone to go underneath the main area, so we were all getting soaked! It would be good if the canopy area could be extended.

Modern spacey well presented in great location

Food let it down a little but otherwise very good

Apart from the fact that the spa was not working, which is why we booked this hotel, everything else was very good. The rooms are beautiful, the breakfast is good, the staff is very friendly, especially Miro, who helped us with our luggage and explained everything about the destination.

Spa wasn’t working and most restaurants and stores are closed so you have a feeling that you are in goost town. If they wish to be 5* destinations this location needs more developement. Only Hotel and nice staff are not enough. One more issue is the fact that hotel don’t have private beach and pool and if you are hotel guest you need to pay extra entry on beach club.

This is a relatively new property, a lovely setting next to the marina, very well thought out, beautiful rooms, nice attention to detail, spacious rooms, lovely bed linen and super comfortable beds. I wish we had more time to enjoy the wellness facilities but it was a fleeting visit. Room service dinner was very nice.

Nothing. I’d like to visit again but have more time to enjoy it more. A little tricky to find, maybe use what 3 words to help drivers get precisely to the car park.
