Somasassa Holiday Rentals

"We were merely passing thru Tirano on our way to Milano. We wanted a place w/ good reviews that was close to train station. When we got to Tirano, we mapped the hotel. It was raining lightly at the time, & to our dismay, the map showed a 12 min walk that was moderately uphill. We gritted our teeth & began the soggy walk, dragging our suitcases over ancient cobblestones. My wife was a little upset w/herself because our accommodations were much further than she had thought. But…. Once we arrived at this jewel of a hotel, we were blown away by the vision that the owner (Andrea) had for this ancient building. The remodel he did was spectacular. We got a very real sense of the original building, yet it also conveyed a sense of modern comfort. Architectural details were magnificent. His contractors were truly artisans & his choices in style and materials were extremely well thought out & executed. Andrea was extremely helpful with our luggage & had a wonderful sense of humor. We really appreciated hearing about the history of what was his grandmother’s home & his ambitious project to expand & remodel it. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was wonderful & was a great value. Andrea called a cab in the morning to get us to train station. This was extremely quick and convenient. Fare for us was 10€. Well worth it! His recommendation for a cab proved fortuitous. Our train was canceled & driver took us to nearby Sondrio to catch a train that allowed us to make our connection in Milano"

" We enjoyed our one night stay at the Hotel Bernina located just a few steps from the train station in Piazza delld Stazioni and the Bernina Express train station making connections by train in Tirano simple. The restaurant is lovely."

"Our first night in Italy after traveling from Switzerland on the fantastic Bernina Express train. The hotel is tucked into a rustic area within walking distance from the train station, but the cobblestone streets make wheeed luggage a bit challenging. The hotel is in an ancient building that has been modernized and updated, making it decieveingly comfortable with a unique feel of antiquity with all modern amenities. It appears to cater to the cycling set with a dedicated bike room, but that seems to be a bonus overall."
