We didn’t think much about this gateway to Switzerland town, but found a lovely surprise. Also was the train ride from Milan as it hugged the breathtaking coast of Lake Como. Traveling by train is always a joyous surprise.
Tirano is a town and comune in Valtellina, located in the province of Sondrio, Lombardy. It has 9,053 inhabitants and is adjacent to the Italy–Switzerland border. The river Adda flows through the town.
We arrived at the Terra Boutique Hotel weary and very hungry. No food on the trains 😢
We were greeted by the front desk with a welcome and upgrade to the suite at the top of the hotel.
They also have a partnership with the corner restaurant so we booked an outside table for 6:30. They also gave us a discount for dinner. BONUS!!!
Dinner was extraordinary
Our tummy are full and the lower temps & breeze were a welcomed surprise
We took a walk through town and there was music and local artisans selling their goods, a car show and two ladies dancing in the streets for any wee one ready to shake their groove thing. They were adorable. I always respect that parents don’t like people taking photos of their children. So sorry, because the faces were precious and the moves unique.
Always been a car fan…
Then we walked to the Basilica Madonna Di Tirano at the edge of town.
Tomorrow we’re off to the Alps, the town of St Moritz, then Chur on the Bernina Express
Ciao to bella Italy. The memories will live in our hearts & souls forever. See you again in September
