In the heart of December, amidst warm lights and festive scents: an inspiring itinerary to visit the Montichiari Christmas Village and unwind at OneMhotel.
Friday: Arrival in San Paolo and Timeless Relaxation
Your weekend begins in total tranquility. Reaching OneMhotel in San Paolo, in the hamlet of Scarpizzolo, is quick and easy thanks to convenient road links between Brescia and Cremona. Upon arrival, you can leave your car in the complimentary parking lot right in front of the property and check in at any hour, thanks to our 24-hour reception desk ready to welcome you with a warm smile.
Our rooms, featuring spacious layouts and soothing light tones, are designed to offer you a restorative sleep far from the bustle. If you wish to begin the evening with a special treat, you can request a bottle of Franciacorta in your room. For dinner, our staff will gladly recommend a spot in the area or a traditional Bassa Bresciana trattoria where you can savor comforting winter dishes like casoncelli or a rich stracotto.
Saturday: Immersed in the Magic of the Montichiari Christmas Village
After a hearty buffet breakfast to recharge your energy — also available in bed for those who prefer a slow morning — it is time to set off. A scenic 30-minute drive eastward brings you to Montichiari, where the renowned Christmas Village comes alive at the exhibition center in December.
This event transforms the exhibition halls into an enchanting wonderland, featuring curated artisan stalls, original gift ideas, sparkling ornaments, and seasonal gastronomic delicacies. Strolling among the illuminated wooden chalets, listening to festive tunes, and tasting traditional treats is a delightful experience for both families and couples seeking a magical holiday mood. As exact dates, opening hours, and admission details may vary, we always recommend checking the updated information on the event's official channels before heading out.
In the late afternoon, take a leisurely stroll through the historic center of Montichiari to admire the Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta and the striking silhouette of Castello Bonoris, before returning to San Paolo for a peaceful evening.
Consiglio pratico. Helpful tip: December fairs and festive events can be very popular. Check the schedule in advance on the official Montichiari exhibition website and book your room early to secure the best rate.
Sunday: Winter Charm at Castello di Padernello and Beyond
Sunday morning in the Bassa has an intimate, tranquil charm. After a reviving coffee and a selection of fresh items from our breakfast, we suggest dedicating a few hours to discovering the surrounding area. Just a 10-minute drive from OneMhotel lies the village of Padernello, home to a magnificent 15th-century castle surrounded by a water-filled moat.
The soft December mists lifting under the winter sun give this fortress and the living bridge by Giuliano Mauri a timeless aura. Before traveling back home, enjoy a walk through the village's restored rural courtyards and savor Sunday lunch at a traditional spot nearby.
