The apartment was easy to get into after hours, and is nicely located in a quiet area of downtown Tirano, right near the Church of St Martin, cafes, and restaurants. The staff (Stefanie) was available for any questions, and was super helpful. Our room was almost a suite: lots of room for our things without crowding the bed. The shower was amazing. Exterior shades kept the room very dark at night. The apartment is only a pleasant 10 minute walk to the train station, where you can catch the Bernina Express. Finally: if you are coming for the Bernina Express, consider staying in Tirano for an extra day or two. It is a lovely town, and the San Martino would be a great home base for your visit.

in the middle of the night we couldn’t figure out how to use the thermostat (not being able to read Italian)

Our bedroom was large, a luxury really in comparison to almost all the other places we had stayed in during our 14 day vacation. The aircon, the extra pillows, firm and comfortable bed, cleanliness, location, excellent cafe just opposite the hotel, were all added bonuses. To top it all off, our hosts were so warm and hospitable. They even waited for us to check in at just past 7pm as our train had arrived late.

San Martino Apartments is about a 15 minute walk from Tirano station – mainly along cobbled streets. Leonardo was friendly and had excellent tourist information available. We really liked staying here - our room made very good use of the space. Our room was spotlessly clean. Room 1 on 1st floor. Some reviewers don’t like that the bathroom has a window on to the staircase, but the glass is so opaque, one cannot make out any details at all in the bathroom (we checked). The WC and Shower are separate to the wash hand basin but this was fine - many hotels we stay in are like this. Very comfortable bed – tea and coffee and kettle in room, with a small fridge. There is a supermarket less than 100m from the apartments. Leonardo recommended Parravicini restaurant and wine bar. The meal was exceptionally delicious. I have a food allergy (not one of the 14 usually listed allergens) and felt very safe eating there as the waitress took care explaining what I could choose from the menu. The next day we went by a local train over the Bernina Pass – when interrailing this is included in your interrail ticket (unlike the express train) and has windows one can open to take good photos!

The property is located right in the centre, it’s super easy to get there from the station on the Bernina Express. The accomodation is lovely and exceeds expectations. The room is so clean and the bedding is fresh. There are lovely touches like good bed linen and expensive free products in the bathroom as well as good free coffee in the room. I came away thinking I’d had a very luxurious experience for a budget price.

I wish I’d stayed longer.

Clean, pleasant, parking close by (free of charge sat eve to mon morn). Clear direction for self check-in.

The heating only works when the key is in the key slot. For us to come back after dinner it took until the early morning to have the room at a pleasant temperature. We were also hoping for a more elaborate breakfast at the coffee shop.

Clean and comfortable and walking distance to main city centre. Walking distance to train station also.

We had a beautiful room but Unfortunately a badly designed bathroom meant you to go around a wall to use the basin after toilet. Shower was in the middle ! Toiletries not replaced after first night. ( this may have been an oversight?) overall would definitely stay again !

Perfectly located in town, quiet, clean and great value for money. We came here off the Bernina Express at 6pm. It only took 5 minutes to walk here and staff gave clear directions as to how to find the suites. Staff were also extremely friendly and welcoming. The suites were spacious, modern and had all the needed amenities. We would absolutely come and stay again.

Very clean and well maintained property. The “suite” is a bit of a misnomer especially for us Asians, it’s really more like a Serviced Apartment setup. There’s a small kitchenette with equipment in the unit itself, hence why I mentioned the misnomer. There was 4 of us - 2 adults and 2 kids aged 11 & 14 so we were comfortably accommodated with 2 full single beds with one Queen bed for the adults. Heating was via a heat-exchange unit (air-con for some of us) which you could manipulate to get to a comfortable temperature inside the room.

Nothing much. Except maybe they could have more hangers or hooks and shelving in the toilet area to allow clothes to hang while we get dressed especially in Winter (warm toilets after a hot shower are best places to get dressed)

Very, very clean and well thought out. Very comfortable. Spotless. It seemed like we were one of the first to use it. The host was very friendly and helpful and gave good recommendations for local dinner, car parking etc.

One or two of the plug sockets didn’t hold a plug too well or we couldn’t fit the plug on to the socket.

Brilliant hotel in beautiful town of Tirano. Very friendly welcome and tour from Leonardo who also recommended a brilliant restaurant nearby. Room was really big, very clean and modern facilities. Great value for money too, wish I had time to stay longer!

Nothing bad!
