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.

The hotel is amazing! I would have given 5 stars but we had no transportation to the train and we had to beg someone to take us. Diego the chef was amazing! There also were no pools which was why we picked this hotel. The site should indicate they under construction.
