Opera Soleil by Ospitalier offers a homely, characterfuly designed space for up to 6 guests, steps from Timișoara's Opera House. The apartment features 2 bedrooms with king-size beds and a convertible sofa in the living room.
A quick note: The sofa bed comes prepared with linens for groups of 5+. If you're staying with 4 or fewer guests but need the sofa bed set up, please let us know in advance, a small fee applies for the extra bedding, but we're happy to accommodate!
Layout & Flow
Upon entry, you'll find the kitchen to one side, with the living and dining areas opening ahead. A hallway connects both bedrooms and the bathroom, keeping each space comfortable and private for all guests.
Bedrooms
The Soleil Bedroom is a warm, airy retreat dressed in sandy neutrals, boho tufted cushions, and a handmade macramé wall piece. The bed is a queen (160×200cm), dressed in quality cotton linens with ample dresser storage.
The Navy Bedroom makes a bolder impression: a grand king bed (180×200cm), navy coverlet, velvet cushions, a pair of vibrant deer paintings, and botanical print curtains. It has its own private west-facing balcony, a quiet green perch with climbing plants, ideal for an evening wind-down. The larger bed makes this the natural choice for couples who want a little extra space.
Both bedrooms have quality cotton bed linens and ample wardrobe or dresser storage.
Kitchen & Dining
The fully equipped kitchen features a stove, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, Nespresso machine, toaster, and electric kettle, all set along a sleek black marble-effect countertop. Complimentary coffee and tea are stocked in the open shelving above.
You'll find all the cookware, utensils, cutlery, and glassware you need. Dishwasher capsules are in the drawer under the sink.
The dining table in the living room is extendable and seats between 4 and 6: plenty of room for the whole group to eat together.
Bathroom
The bathroom features a walk-in shower enclosure and an instant water heater. Fresh towels (one bath towel and one hand towel per guest) are provided, along with a hairdryer. Complimentary toiletries including body soap and shower gel are available.
Living Room & Balcony
The living room centers on a generous grey corner sofa that converts into a bed (140x200cm), paired with a sculptural organic coffee table and TV. Mustard yellow curtains frame the window and lead directly out to the apartment's main balcony.
The east-facing balcony is the standout feature: a rooftop-level terrace with a wooden table, chairs, parasol, and sun lounger, looking directly onto the ornate spires of the Timișoara Orthodox Cathedral. It's where you'll want to be for morning coffee and sunrise - and it's hard to leave.
The entire home is available for guests, except a dresser in the kitchen (mostly supplies) that is marked as private.
Access to the apartment is done via stairs or Elevator.
I usually message you after the booking, the day prior to the arrival and on the arrival day to confirm the apartment is ready, but I'm available at any time. I answer most questions in a matter of minutes and can give you local recommendations or tips to get around.
Located on Piatra Craiului street, parallel with the main city square - Victory Square (Piata Operei).
Staying in Timisoara's city center offers an incredible experience. Just steps away, you'll find the Metropolitan Orthodox Cathedral and The Opera, while a short stroll leads you to the picturesque Bega river. Don't miss the opportunity to explore during the golden hour—it's truly breathtaking.
The area boasts a plethora of dining options and cozy cafes, as well as two recently opened cinemas, Timiș, Studio and Victoria. Additionally, there are a couple of museums, three theaters, and an abundance of activities to enjoy.
Convenience is key with two 24/7 mini markets nearby and a Mega Image just a couple of streets away. The closest supermarket, Lidl, is only a 15-minute walk.
For added convenience, you'll find maps and flyers in the apartment highlighting tourist-friendly restaurants and cultural activities.
Timisoara's city center is accessible by nearly any mode of transportation (including boats). Almost all public transit routes pass through the center, either near the Orthodox Cathedral or Piata Libertatii. There are two taxi stations nearby - Modex and Piata 700. Additionally, bike and scooter rentals are available in the city center if you prefer not to use cars.
In the apartment, you'll find a map of the center as well as maps for public transit.
I do recommend you to try a vaporetto trip down the Bega river, the nearest station is next to the Cathedral.
To ensure everyone enjoys their stay:
- Smoking is not permitted inside. You may use the balconies.
- No parties
- Please keep noise levels low after 10pm: the building is home to long-term residents who appreciate peaceful evenings.
