Treat yourself to a nature-filled vacation in a location that has shaped the history of Barzio. The Garden Bar Gelateria in Barzio is a historic venue that earned a special place in the heart of Valsassina and its visitors. Situated in the town center, this bar and gelateria became a landmark over the years, offering a warm atmosphere and a selection of high-quality artisanal gelato. Its story is deeply connected to Barzio, a renowned holiday destination celebrated for its proximity to the mountains and its charm that has long drawn tourists and artists.
During the golden era of Italian music, the Garden Bar Gelateria had the privilege of hosting famous figures such as Adriano Celentano and Mina, two icons who defined an entire epoch.

Their presence turned the venue into a symbol of the Italian "dolce vita," further attracting tourists and lovers of good company.
