Hotel Maestoso

With a pool, sauna, golf course, tennis courts and fitness centre, the Hotel Maestoso - built in 1971 and renovated in 2003 - is set in the heart of the Lipica stud farm, where you can admire more than 300 lipizzaner horses.

Founded in 1580, this stud farm now provides the ultimate getaway for many people. With such a vast choice of indoor and outdoor activities, there is something to suit everyone and every mood. You can let off some steam in the fitness room or get some fresh air along the many cycle routes.

Our en suite rooms and suites are fully equipped, with some offering balconies with stunning views across the golf course. Our dedicated staff are always there to help you feel at home.

We also have 3 conference halls - ideal for business meetings, seminars and other events which could be combined with the cultural and historical aspects of Lipica.

Lipica is situated 20 minutes from the sea, 15 minutes from Trieste and 30 minutes from Postojna cave, and is an ideal starting point for visiting the Karst, Venice, the Slovenian coast and Ljubljana.

Our hotel was built in the 1970s and was named after one of the 6 original lines of stallions here at the stud farm.

Guests have free access to the swimming pool with its outdoor sun terrace, pool bar and Finnish sauna.

Those looking for even more entertainment should visit the Grand Casino Lipica.

Our restaurant offers many specialities which originate from the Karst and reflect its unique climate. You will be served a variety of delicious dishes made from Karst meats as cold and hot starters or main courses. As a hot starter we will be pleased to serve you pasta with various sauces and tantalizing flavours that are much adored by our Italian guests. We have added a touch of the Karst to our selection of pastas and we highly recommend our mouth-watering tagliatelle with prosciutto and Teran - a ruby-red Karst wine.

You will find a wide choice of main courses, particularly meat dishes including pork medallions on red chicory, veal medallions with prosciutto and beef fillet 'à la Karst'. Enjoy this exquisite cuisine with a glass of premium Karst wine. Our waiters will be pleased to help you make the right choice.

Seafood lovers are also welcome to taste a variety of fish - baked, grilled, scampi à la Buzara and much more. In addition, we also offer a menu of freshly-baked pizzas.

Of course, this gastronomic journey must end with one of our delicious, fresh desserts prepared daily by our pastry chefs.

In the vicinity of the hotel there are also walking and cycling trails. A path passing by the hotel leads to a nearby Karst valley where visitors can enjoy lots of peace and tranquility.
