B&B Chiara is a bed and breakfast located in the Piazzo district of Biella, in Piedmont, just a short walk from the city’s medieval historic centre and the Biella Piazzo railway station.
The property offers accommodations equipped with free WiFi, a seating area and a flat-screen TV, designed for both business travellers and those choosing Biella as a base to explore the surrounding hills. Some rooms have a balcony or patio with views of the mountains and the inner courtyard, a detail that makes the stay particularly pleasant on summer evenings. Guests also have access to a shared sun terrace, ideal for relaxing after a day of sightseeing.
The location in the heart of the Piazzo puts historic churches, traditional trattorias and cafés within easy reach, while the Oropa Sanctuary and Turin Airport can be reached by car in a reasonable amount of time. The free parking, although on the street, and the informal welcome make B&B Chiara a practical choice for those looking for a simple, well-connected stay in the Biella area.
The rooms at B&B Chiara are divided into two types, both 25 square metres and designed to accommodate up to two people, with the option of adding a bed for a child in one of the two solutions. In both cases, the furnishings include combinable single beds, a flat-screen TV and a living area that makes the spaces versatile even for multi-day stays.
The main difference concerns the bathroom: one room has a private bathroom and a desk, designed for those who want more privacy and a useful space for working, while the other room type shares a bathroom with other guests but offers a balcony, patio and mountain view in return, ideal for those who prefer scenic views over the absolute privacy of an en-suite bathroom. Both rooms overlook the property’s inner courtyard.

B&B Chiara stands in the Piazzo, the historic and highest district of Biella, a medieval-layout village made up of cobbled alleys, ancient buildings and small shops, clearly distinct from the modern city that stretches out below. Around the property are concentrated some of the city’s most significant religious landmarks, starting with the Church of San Giacomo, just 50 metres away, followed by the Church of San Sebastiano at 350 metres and the Cathedral of Santo Stefano at about 650 metres.
Those arriving by train will find Biella Piazzo station about 200 metres away, while Biella Piano station is just over 350 metres away: a convenient connection for those travelling without a car. By car, Turin Airport is about 49 km away, Milan Malpensa Airport is 52 km away and Aosta Airport is 55 km away, distances that make Biella reachable from several directions for those coming from outside the region. Within a few hundred metres are also historic trattorias such as Trattoria alla Cisterna and inns such as San Giacomo, as well as bars and cafés in the centre.
For those wishing to venture further from the centre, the Oropa Sanctuary, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is about 8 km away and is a destination for pilgrimages and walks all year round, with the possibility of excursions to Monte Mucrone in summer. The Brich di Zumaglia and Mont Prevè Nature Reserve, about 5 km away, offers trails through woods and meadows suited to half-day walks, while the centre of Biella with its textile museums and shops can be reached on foot in just a few minutes from the Piazzo.
