Hey from Serena

Member since August 2013 | 27,591 hits

What's the meaning of Birabiro?
In Amharic language Birabiro means butterfly.

Amharic is the national language in Ethiopia, a country close to my heart, because here my son Tesfaye was born.

Why the butterfly?
The butterfly stands for the beginning of new experiences with the awareness that comes from previous steps and with the maturity that is the peak of vitality, of indipendence.

The butterfly, at the end of evolution, can fly and can spread all over the world beauty and delight, by the gaily-coloured wings.

Why Birabiro B&B?
Let's start from the beginning (the egg)..

In 1997 I took the degree in chemical engineering.

For 10 years I have been working as project manager in Italy and in France. In this period I gave myself entirely to my professional growth, keeping feet firmly on the ground (like a caterpillar) …
Then Tesfaye arrived. My priorities changed and I felt the strong wish of transformation..

I withdrew in myself to find a rebirth strategy (the pupa in its cocoon!). I left the job, I attended an interior design course, I gave myself to a new home renovation, I started the project to open a bed and breakfast, an old golden dream… Birabiro B&B…
Now (like a butterfly) I'm almost ready to come out from my shell and begin a new life!
Which are my expectations?
I would like that my guests, during their short stay (as short as butterfly life is), can catch the beauty and the delight of the gaily-coloured wings..

Perfect stay! The room is spacious, bright and newly renovated, with a large and clean bathroom. We really appreciated the independent access: convenient and practical. The owner was very kind, always available and attentive to every need, she really made us feel at home, even though we stayed for just one night. Abundant breakfast with fresh pastries.

Small structure in a quiet area, everything is new both in the room and in the bathroom, common room with the possibility to heat something in the microwave, tea, coffee and infusions, milk, juices available for everyone plus water, cold cuts, cheese and fruit divided per room. Unfortunately, we did not meet Serena but her husband was very kind as well as the parents who, being in the area to buy the new car, then allowed us to park it in their garage. Extremely recommended!

I had a great time for my night here, I was in Brianza for a field internship with my dog and I really relaxed here. Not only is the structure super quiet (and this also depends on the education of the guests present), but the bed was wonderfully soft, the bathroom equipped with every comfort (even hygienic bags that almost no one puts), a giant shower box and the breakfast... mega fantastic! Serena is super helpful and nice, I recommend anyone to come visit her. Aunt Linda.

Although we stayed for only one night, the stay was comfortable. The room is spacious, functional, and perfectly clean, the same goes for the private bathroom. Excellent breakfast (special mention for the fresh ricotta arrived still warm), abundant and varied. The house is located near the main arteries but in a decidedly quiet neighborhood. Lastly, Serena, the homeowner, is a kind, helpful, and attentive person to make her guests feel good. Absolutely recommended!

We stayed 2 nights in this fabulous property on the Birabiro B&B day (2 adults and 2 children 3 and 10 years old). Close to Acquaworld and Monza (Villa Reale and Autodromo). We can absolutely recommend it for the excellent hospitality and availability of Serena, the spacious and spotless rooms, and the varied and abundant breakfast with fresh products every morning (we fondly remember the surprise of the freshly made ricotta... a goodness never tasted before). Truly a top-notch property from every point of view. Thank you so much for making our trip even more enjoyable. A goodbye until the next opportunity.

After visiting the Last Supper in the morning and taking a short walk in downtown Milan, we headed to Carate in the afternoon for a visit. We contacted Serena who welcomed us to her lovely B&B, where as soon as you enter you feel a unique comfort. Thank you Serena for the excellent hospitality, for the great rest and the great breakfast. You will be a valuable reference point for us. Highly recommended.

We stayed last week for five days in this beautiful Birabiro B&B, carefully designed down to the smallest detail. The family rooms are very spacious, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. A lot of care in the preparation of the always excellent and plentiful breakfast. A special thanks to Serena, whose kindness made us feel at home. Overall excellent.

Recommended B&B. The owner is an exceptional host. The room is spacious, furnished in every detail and very clean. Large bathroom equipped with every comfort.

For us, this property deserves top marks! Very kind and impeccable owners in everything. Discreet people but always available to exchange a few words and attentive to the needs of the guests. Neat, very clean apartment, adequate in space, excellently stocked and equipped with a well-curated and original style of furniture: it is immediately noticeable that it is designed to make the guest's stay pleasant, starting from the well-written and clear rules of use. Abundant, varied, and quality breakfast. Honestly, we have no complaints to make. Jordan, the house dog, does his duty as a guard but with a pet and a cuddle you will make friends with him!

Excellent reception and availability of schedule, equally generous sweet and savoury breakfast (croissants, cake, and morning ricotta). Excellent room with air conditioning and large bathroom with all necessary accessories; the common area for preparing hot breakfast is spacious and has a kettle and coffee machine with capsules. The location inside the town is in an anonymous residential area, but acceptable. Usually, outdoor parking can be found on the street.

B&B absolutely recommended. The owners are very kind: Serena is an incredible host. The room is spacious, tastefully decorated and very clean. Large bathroom equipped with every comfort. Nice common area for breakfast, and what a breakfast! Whatever you prefer, sweet or savory, Serena will satisfy you. 24 hours a day you can enjoy fruit juices, tea, and coffee. You really feel pampered. The area is quiet and convenient for exploring the surroundings and visiting Monza. With the car you can move comfortably and it's also easy to find some nearby restaurants. Highly recommended! We will definitely come back!

I think Birabiro B&B is the best place to stay in Carate Brianza, very well-kept and clean. The owner is very kind, caring towards the customers and always available, a woman to marry. The only tiny flaw, at least for the room I took, was the jasmine on the balcony, beautiful to look at and shading, but too fragrant for me.

The owner, Serena, is a very polite and helpful person; she immediately made us feel comfortable, both us and our 3-year-old (usually shy) child.

It is a Birabiro B&B located in a quiet and well-connected location. The structure is truly comfortable, bright, spacious, and finished in every detail with great taste. Serena and Dario are friendly, hospitable, kind, and helpful. The breakfast is superb, always varied and very abundant: homemade cakes and cookies, fragrant croissants, delicious fresh jams, all prepared with care and attention, using natural products. We stayed with two children and we all felt great as at home. In summary, a highly recommended Birabiro B&B!

I stayed a couple of days at the B&B Birabiro. After many years of anonymous and impersonal hotels, a place like this is just what we needed! Serena is the essence of hospitality and availability; the breakfasts are sumptuous, fresh fruit salad and real orange juice, pastries and fresh bread, etc. Impeccable cleanliness. Highly recommended. Massimo.

I stayed ten days in Carate di Brianza on one occasion, unfortunately, not very pleasant, but fortunately, I stayed in this wonderful B&B. It is a really welcoming place, managed by Serena, a very kind lady, always available who, attentive to every detail and always ready to lend a hand, made me feel a bit at home! Beautiful and welcoming the environments, excellent and abundant breakfast, impeccable cleanliness, excellent service! In short, I give a score of 10 and praise!

I stayed at Birabiro B&B for only one night, together with three of my friends. We fell in love with this place, with its colors, its non-anonymous linearity. Serena welcomed us with her vital enthusiasm, making us feel so at home that we went for breakfast in our pajamas. Shall we talk about breakfast? It makes you feel like a queen. It is delicious, refined, and abundant. If you care about yourselves, visit Serena, and afterward, you will care a little more. If we happen to pass through the area again, we will definitely return. Thank you.
