You don't need to be a monk or a nun to appreciate St. James Monastery. Visit for a glimpse into some religious cultures and traditions.

St. James Monastery is the perfect place kick off your day in Pontida. This residence for monks is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow some time for other attractions like Parco Faunistico Le Cornelle, Golf Club Bergamo, and Golf Club Villa Paradiso to really experience what the area has to offer.

17.2/10 Exceptional! (143 reviews)

Great for ski-in-out. Decent size room, robes,etc. Room lacked adequate lighting and had NO mirrors except the dark bathroom. Breakfast was good but items in the buffet were not replenished. The head waiter was too prominent in constantly berating his staff. One night we told there were no tables when obviously there were plenty. Shower had good water pressure and ample room.
