I have never left a review for a place that I have stayed. Ever. But our stay at Ostello del Castello in Tirano was so fantastic that a positive review was necessary. The owner, Andrea, ensured our stay was perfect. His family property is a seven centuries old modern renovation. Our room was clean, comfortable and secure. Breakfast was delicious: meat and cheese plates, pasties, yogurt, granola, breads, fruits, coffees and juices. The location is an 8 minute walk from the train station. Plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. This location is perfect as a home base: within an hour you could be at Lake Como or multiple ski areas. You can ride the UNESCO listed Bernina Express to Switzerland right in Tirano. I can't say enough good things about Andrea and Ostello del Castello. Stay here. You won't be disappointed!

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

Andrea was a very attentive host even before we arrived, coordinating our arrival at 23:00 perfectly. The old chalet style property was just beautiful — modern updates have been made but they match the style of the building exactly. We enjoyed having a large private portion of the balcony to ourselves. There were also a number of comfortable outdoor lounging areas including a roof top patio. The breakfast is definitely worth having — great food (and Andrea cheerfully found some gluten-free options for my celiac daughter). So many restaurants to choose from just a short walk away. The wine bar just at the end of the block is definitely worth going to. We know this is our favorite place to stay on this trip, and we stayed at many places. We plan to come back someday to this very welcoming hostel (we had a private room with its own bath, so felt like we were in a hotel, but there were also rooms with bunkbeds and shared bathrooms). Couldn’t recommend the Ostello de Castello and its owner/host more highly!

This review is long overdue. We traveled from America to Italy a few months ago and had planned to take the Bernina Express from Tirano. Our group of 7 was delayed getting to the hostel. Throughout that time, Andrea communicated with me and was very patient. We arrived past 10 pm, but Andrea waited for our group to arrive and was so accommodating. The next morning we had our train at 8am, so he got up early and had transportation waiting to take us all down to the train station so that we did not have to walk in the rain or stress about missing the train. We did not even ask him to do all this, yet he was so kind to make sure we were comfortable even if it was only one night. We were so touched by his kindness and hospitality. Absolutely recommend this hostel. 10/10. We wish Andrea the very best.

I recently spent two nights at Ostello del Castello in Tirano, mainly to catch the Bernina Express, like many other tourists. I made a quick decision and acknowledged that I didn’t plan my stay in Tirano very well.
Nonetheless, it turned out to be a delightful surprise. The place is enchanting, with a fairy-tale atmosphere and meticulous attention to detail. It stirred up feelings of nostalgia and made me reflect on my ancestors who migrated to Brazil a long time ago, as I now had the chance to visit from the opposite direction. I felt like at home!!!

Andrea was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, providing excellent local recommendations that made me wish I had stayed longer. The place was impeccably clean (which I highly value), great breakfast and a very good italian \"cappuccione\", and featured a stunning terrace perfect for stargazing and vie to the mountains around Tirano.
I highly recommend it and look forward to return, perhaps with my family, to discover more of the stunning mountain area and maybe \"parlando Italiano\" a little bit.

Grazie mille Andrea for all your hospitality!

At first it felt like a bit of a walk from the train station but it’s really only about 10 minutes. Of course in the summer heat after a long train ride it feels a bit hotter. From the outside the place doesn’t scream how great it is on the inside. And the views from the terrace above the property are pretty great. The renovations are so well done. Just a great place. Note our room did not have AC and I was worried but it was fine. We all slept great in a 3 bed bunk room in July. . Breakfast was also simple but extremely inexpensive and hit the spot.

Our group of 6 was simply looking for a place to stay the night before our early ride on the Bernina Express but Andrea and this lovely hotel made it a Thursday night to remember. The view from the high patio in the afternoon, the twinkling fairy lights that greeted us when we walked back from a wonderful dinner in town and the outstanding morning breakfast that was made early to accomodate our schedule all contributed to our desire to teturn for a longer stay. The \"family room\" comfortably accomodated us with modern amenities but also with a charm that transported us back in time. I encourage everyone to plan on more than one night in this wonderland.

Had a fantastic stay. We had the welcome you would expect from a small family run hostel, but with the benefits of any small hotel. Four of us, including two adult children in their 20s, shared the quadruple room and had everything we needed. Breakfast was amazing value, with a good range of local products including meats, cheese, breads, cereal, yoghurts, sweet pastries and cakes. Andrea made us feel very welcome and gave us recommendations for where to eat in the evening and where to stop on our train trip back to St Moritz this morning. We came and went by train and the hostel, in the old historic part of the town, was an easy 10 minute walk from the station. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

Hidden gem in Northern Italy - Charming Tirano

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

Great host, great breakfast and nice environment.

First, I want to commend our host, Andrea. He is very friendly, helpful and he showed us the nice restaurants in town which is only a 5-min walk away. When we encountered a personal difficulty outside, we called him and he went out of his way to help us sort things out. Even after we left (we had a 3-night stay there), he texted us and asked how had been our trip so far. We are very grateful for his genuine care and concern.
Second, the breakfast he served was par excellence. It was sumptuous and the coffee was very good. It was great value for money. I was thinking he must be losing money for the 7 Euro per head he charged for the breakfast.
Third, the hotel (more like a B&B) is very cosy and the living room/lobby is very quaint and Italian. I loved it. The bedroom is clean, sizeable and we did not feel cramped in. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. There was constant hot water in the shower. The best part is to view the building from the outside in the night. It is gorgeously beautiful.
I highly recommend this Ostello.
Two minor drawbacks: there was no on site car park but there was a free open carpark 150m away - no issue with security; the wifi in my room was a little weak - I had to get close to the window to ensure good wifi reception.

Recommended overnight stop for Bernina Express

A very warm welcome to this lovely hotel with simple but comfortable rooms in a beautifully converted old building. 15 mins walk from the station for those getting on/off the Bernina Express railway, as we had. Also recommend the Parravicini restaurant at the bottom of the hill.

B&B in Tirano

Andreas has been so helpful and courteous to us. He’s been very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and the structure is so quaint and charming! He does a very nice breakfast assortment in the morning as well. I’d come back in a heartbeat and would recommend it highly.

Fabulous Hotel! Stay Here!!!!!!!

I booked into this hotel for 2 nights as part of a surprise trip for my husband (I booked to take the Bernina Express from Tirano as a day trip) and we were super sad to leave!

We had the warmest of welcomes and were looked after beyond even highest expectations! The hotel is beautiful. The rooms are fantastic; our family room was so well-catered for! They really have thought of everything!! Even down to a stash of toys to occupy the kids - which our 3 year old was excited for! The care and attention to detail is so great, and you receive a really excellently-managed “personalised” experience that’s absolutely not overbearing and intrusive from the hotel’s owners.

The hotel is a couple of minutes walk from the main road in the town and less than 10 minutes walk to the station if guests are doing the Bernina route, like us.

We loved it here and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book again if we are in the region. I’ll be recommending it to everyone! It’s a brilliant place to stay! If you’re going to Tirano - stay here!!!!

Beautifully refurbished former family home

Andre really made us feel welcome. He goes above and beyond with his warm hospitality. He gave us the history of the region and the Ostello, then we sat on the terrace and enjoyed local wine while admiring the amazing views of Tirano and the mountains. It's a lovely hotel in a restored family home. There was obviously a lot of attention to detail in the refurbishment, and this care is also shown in providing amenities for guests.

Absolute perfection!

Ostello del Castello is an absolutely amazing Hotel. It is situated at a high vantage point overlooking the beautiful city of Tirano. The hotel has so much history provided to us by our wonderful hosts Andrea and Alessia, the property has amazing sights to see before you even venture out to explore Tirano. This was our first stop in Italy after taking the Berina Express train down the Alps. I must say we couldn't have been more impressed by the hotel, however it is the warm embrace of the hosts that quickly turned this into one of my favorite places of all time to rest. Thank you so much for the absolutely amazing stay, it will make it hard for other places to even compare. Also trust Andrea on any local food advice he gives as our taste buds were tantilized by his amazing restaurant recommendations!!!

Authentic Italian Experience

Ostello del Castello is an amazing little place just 5 minutes walk to the main piazza. The rooftop terrace offers spectacular views of the area, and the staff is ready to tell you the whole story of the establishment and nearby area, you just have to ask. Also, do not miss the \"aperitivo\" on the terrace with cold cuts, cheeses and local wine. A wonderful experience I would repeat and highly recommend.

Highly Recommended!

Our stay was amazing. I wish we could have stayed longer. Room was large, comfortable and clean. Great view of Tirano from the castle's ruins. Nice breakfast buffet and they serve the best cappuccino ever! I hope to return in the future.
