Festival dei Motori in Montichiari: Your Autumn Weekend in Brescia

Crisp October air, a passion for two and four wheels, and the rural charm of Bassa Bresciana: the perfect itinerary for an autumn getaway.

Friday Evening: Stress-Free Arrival and a Welcoming Ambiance in San Paolo

The weekend begins in utter tranquility, leaving busy highways and traffic behind. Located in San Paolo, within the tidy, productive setting of the Scarpizzolo area, OneMhotel welcomes you with its bright, streamlined design. Arriving by car, you will immediately find convenient free parking right in front of the building, with no need to worry about tight garages or complex manoeuvres.

Whatever your arrival time, our 24-hour reception ensures a prompt and personalized check-in. To kick off the evening in complete relaxation, you can request a bottle of Franciacorta directly in your room, or stop by our bar to enjoy a selection of warm toasted sandwiches or a light cold menu. If you would prefer to savour seasonal local dishes from Brescia—such as traditional casoncelli pasta with browned butter—our team will happily recommend and reserve a table at a typical spot in the area, just a short drive away.

Saturday: The Thrill of Engines in Montichiari and Scenic Discoveries

The day begins with a varied, vibrant breakfast, served in our dedicated breakfast room or, for those who love a leisurely treat, comfortably in bed. Once refreshed, a smooth 30-minute drive (around 28 km along clear roads) is all it takes to reach the Centro Fiera in Montichiari.

The Festival dei Motori is a true celebration for fans of cars, motorbikes, tuning, classic vehicles, and thrilling outdoor stunt shows. Because schedules, opening times, and ticketing details may change, we always recommend checking the event's official channels beforehand. Dedicate the morning and early afternoon to exploring the exhibition halls and admiring iconic models from both past and present.

Before heading back to the hotel, take time to pause in Montichiari's historic centre for a stroll around the evocative medieval fortress and Castello Bonoris, whose crenellated walls overlook woodlands ablaze with extraordinary October foliage. In the evening, return to San Paolo for a peaceful night far from the bustle of the fairgrounds.

Sunday: History and Timeless Sights in Bassa Bresciana

Sunday morning brings the pleasure of a gentle, quiet wake-up. After breakfast, OneMhotel's central location makes it easy to explore cultural gems across the plain before heading home.

Just a 15-minute drive from the hotel lies Castello di Padernello in Borgo San Giacomo, an authentic 15th-century castle surrounded by a spring-water moat and featuring a working drawbridge. Wandering through this village in October, amid restored farmhouses and poplar groves, offers a truly soothing sense of calm.

Alternatively, roughly 20 minutes away, the town of Verolanuova houses two monumental canvases by Giambattista Tiepolo inside the Basilica di San Lorenzo—genuine artistic masterpieces tucked away in the heart of the Bassa. It is the perfect finale to a weekend balancing excitement and heritage.
