B&B Monte Bo Biella, homemade breakfast and valley views
B&B Monte Bo is a bed and breakfast in Biella, Piedmont, on Strada Monte Bo. It offers quiet rooms, parking on site and a breakfast with homemade produce and a view over the valley. I recommend it to couples, business travellers and anyone who wants calm without leaving the city.

Where B&B Monte Bo is and how to get there
B&B Monte Bo is on Strada Monte Bo, in Biella, Piedmont, in a quiet area with an open view over the valley. One guest writes that the centre is only a few minutes away, while the property's description mentions good links with local transport. To me it is an address for peace and quiet rather than for strolling between the shops.
The easiest way to get there is by car. Guests mention the parking on site, an open space inside the property, and one review also recalls the chance to charge an electric car. A cyclist says they were allowed to leave the bike in a covered room near the yard. If you are travelling by electric car or by bike, it is worth confirming with the owner beforehand, as these are kind arrangements and not guaranteed services.
What the rooms and common areas are like
The rooms at B&B Monte Bo in Biella are modern, bright and quiet, with well-kept furnishings and, according to several guests, spacious. Each has a private bathroom with a bidet and hairdryer, and the description mentions air-conditioned spaces and free wifi.
The highlight is the breakfast room, with a large glass wall opening onto the view of the valley and the city. One review says the house has been renovated from top to bottom and has many unique details, so much that you feel at home. The furnishings are described as harmonious and warm too. Don't expect the anonymity of a chain hotel here, because the place has a distinct personality.
What guests say about B&B Monte Bo
On Google the rating is 4.9 from 21 reviews, and nearly all of them point in the same direction. Here is what comes up most often.
- The breakfast. Several guests call it outstanding, with local cheeses, cakes, biscuits and jams made in the house. A review says the packaged products are organic.
- The welcome. Many praise the owner's kindness and availability, and how attentive she is to guests' needs. Those who came for work also find her very professional.
- Cleanliness and quiet. Very clean, quiet rooms, in a setting that some describe as an oasis of peace. Some guests have come back a second time.
- The view. The view over mountains and countryside comes up in several reviews, from the room and from the breakfast room.
- Dogs. One guest writes that they are welcomed without extra charges.
What to know before booking
None of the reviews I read is negative, so the warnings come from the nature of the place and from what the data does not say. There are 21 reviews, a small sample but a very consistent one.
| What guests like | Worth keeping in mind |
|---|---|
| Private parking on the property | The space is open, not a garage |
| Quiet position with a view | Not in the very centre, so without a car or bike you need a plan |
| Breakfast with homemade produce | I found no times or details on special diets, so ask first |
| Dogs welcomed | Confirm the conditions when you book |

Who I recommend it for
I recommend it mainly to people who want calm, attention to detail and a good breakfast, rather than the services of a large hotel. It works well for a weekend for two or a business trip where you need a good night's sleep.
| Type of traveller | Why it works | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Couples | Quiet, valley view and breakfast | Small property, little data on extra services |
| Business travellers | Quiet rooms, free wifi, parking | Not in the heart of the city |
| Travellers with a dog | Well welcomed according to one guest | Check first before setting off |
| Those without transport | A hotel in the city is the better choice | Getting around would be inconvenient |
What to do in Biella and nearby
From B&B Monte Bo, in Biella, you can combine visits to the town with outings into nature, since the description mentions restaurants, places of interest and nature trails nearby. I don't have data on specific routes and would rather not list them at random. Ask the owner for advice, who according to guests is very helpful.
If the B&B is full or you want a different atmosphere, Piedmont has plenty of alternatives. For a base in the city, look at Hotel Napoleon in Turin. For a countryside stay there is the Il Runch agriturismo in Viù, and for something different the Canonica dei Templari in Piazzano.
Passionate about travel and about the kind of places that turn a getaway into something unforgettable. I love writing about hotels, country houses and charming hideaways, helping every traveller find the perfect place to rest and feel at home.
