Trilocale

Trilocale is a term used in Italian real estate to describe a dwelling composed of three rooms used as living spaces. In standard usage, these three rooms are typically a soggiorno (living room) and two camere (bedrooms). The cucina (kitchen) and the bagno (bathroom) are not counted among the three rooms, though they are present as separate rooms. Some listings specify whether the kitchen is abitabile (a separate, usable kitchen) or cucina a vista/open kitchen.

The typical arrangement of a trilocale can vary, but it often features a central living room with two bedrooms and a separate or connected kitchen, possibly with a corridor or small entryway. This layout is common in urban apartments and is considered suitable for small families or shared occupancy. The overall size usually ranges from about 60 to 90 square meters, though there are smaller or larger variations.

In real estate catalogs and classifieds, trilocale is contrasted with bilocale (two rooms: one living room and one bedroom) and quadrilocale (four rooms: living room plus three bedrooms). The exact counting of rooms can vary by region, so some listings specify the number of living spaces (soggiorno) and bedrooms (camere) and note whether the kitchen is separate or integrated.
