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.

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,004 reviews)

Beautiful hotel with an excellent staff. Getting still water was an issue. The pool area didnt have enough chairs. The scrambled eggs for breakfast was like "egg soup" not cooked enough. Location was a distance from any relevant sites. 20 euro taxi ride.
