A beautiful stay for one night en route from the Bernina express. Beautiful family room accomodation, spotlessly clean, with a wonderful friendly and kind host. Easy short walk from the train station with 3 kids plus luggage. Sorry we couldn't stay longer! Ten stars!!

staying only one night but we had a really lovely welcome. a lovely feel to the place, a farmhouse held in the family and converted in 2015 - has been done with lots of care and attention. so it's modern with a great character and charm. We had super breakfast in the morning which was just what we needed before setting off on the Barina railway. Great views from the elevated garden at the rear to the mountains all around.
we were also really delayed in arriving due to train cancellations, a bit of extra stress no one needs, but Andrea was quick to respond to my messages and as helpful as one could be.

We had a wonderful yet short stay before our Bernina Express train journey. Andrea, our host, was very kind and helpful. He shared stories of his family and the area and gave us suggestions for exploring the town. He knew we had to leave early in the morning for the train and had a wonderful and fresh breakfast ready for us. The hostel is very cute and cozy, with thoughtful touches throughout, including color/coordinated towels and cups for the bathroom, and a beautiful outdoor terrace space. A short trail leads up behind the hostel for quiet and beautiful views of the town and surrounding mountains. Stay here and you will not be disappointed!

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!

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.

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

Great stay in a nice town…. Local wine is good too

If I could give them 6 stars I would. Nice 10min walk to town but other good restaurants near by. Great views and should walk outback to the city wall for good city photos! I would also like to thank our host who was very helpful and service was excellent!

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!

We loved our stay. The property had a lovely charm and coziness. Elisa was an amazing host, she helped us with everything from taxi, late night warm milk for the kids. She made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay as good as it could be. On our checkout, she waited in the rain with us to make sure we got the taxi safely and gave us umbrellas. I would definitely recommend this property and be back myself for sure.

Andrea is an amazing host. We really felt like we had been invited into his home. The location is his grandmother's house , 700 years old , that has been renovated beautifully. The view, in the evening especially , from just above the house is incredible. Andrea was so welcoming and helpful. He gave us tips on what to see and where to eat, that we really appreciated. We didn't want to leave. If you are ever in Tirano this is the place to go!

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!

Host was very accommodating. 12 minute walk from train, away from where most hotels are in Tirano. Beautiful property. Local wine maker just a few feet away from property, which makes it even nicer. There is no air conditioning but there were fans in the room. This is a norm in Italy either way. Breakfast was good and at a good price.

A sincere admiration at the gardens and at the person that cares of them. High praises to la mamma. One of the best, if not the best, of this Europe trip.

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.

Wish we had stayed longer!

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

AMAZING! Can’t say enough about this little gem. Arrived late at night, in the rain and being lost and weary, my 23 year old son and I were THRILLED when we met Andrea (who met us outside to ensure we found our way). The inn could not be more charming, modern amenities with old world charm, completely remodeled in 200 year old farm house. Family run. Andrea gave us the BEST advice for our Bernini train adventure to St Moritz. Can’t say enough! We will be back for sure and will recommend this to everyone!

A Wonderful Host and Stay

What a wonderful place. We loved this accommodation and in part wished we had arrived a little earlier and had been able to stay a little longer but we were booked on the early morning Bernina Express.

Andrea the host was attentive and kind and provided fabulous advice on places to dine.

A 10 minute walk from the station in close proximity to the Old Town, supermarkets and restaurants made for a very convenient stay. Would definitely recommend.

Must stay here when in Tirano!

From the moment of check-in, the owner/host greeted us very warmly and helped us with our bags. He went on to give us a lovely tour of his incredible property. It’s a charming renovated Castelló with a great history. It’s perfect for families, as it has terraces, toys, sports equipment and an area to play soccer and basketball. My boys loved it! He also gave us recommendations on where to have dinner and where to site see. (Everything is in walking distance) After a good nights rest, we awoke to a scrumptious breakfast and were assisted with getting to the station (3 minute drive) to catch the Bernina Express! We plan on returning with friends to this wonderful hidden gem in Tirano! If you are passing through.. don’t miss out! Grazie mile to the host!

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.

Fantastic stay in super rustic yet modern old farmhouse. Nothing to fault the hotel or Andrea the owner who could not have been more attentive or helpful. Only downside was the insect / midge bites from our meals sat outside at the local restaurants and that is something that even Andrea couldn't control!
