Unique and relaxing stay
We had a lovely stay at this unique character-filled small hotel. The hosts Andrea and his son were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great value and included local yoghurts, breads, pastries and delicious local meat and cheese. We also really enjoyed evening sundowners on the little terrace upstairs.

This is a very unique property: A 700-year old building surrounded by amazing views of Torino. The breakfast was the best I’ve had anywhere. Fresh fruit, croissants, homemade pastries, juices, local ham and cheese, yogurt, cappuccino. The owner was so nice and went out of his way to make us feel welcome.

A real find.
We stayed here one night only and that was because we headed up a day early to do the Bernina Express. What a brilliant choice to do that as the hotel is just so beautifully stunning. The staff were just wonderful and very very helpful. We couldn’t have picked better. Have to say Tirano is a beautiful town, often overlooked because of it’s illustrious neighbours like Lake Como and St Moritz
Andrea is the perfect host. We will go back

Absolutely loved this place. The staff who showed us around was so kind and warm that it made us feel right at home. It was an easy walk from the train station and not far from good dining. Very nice place.
