What a beautiful, comfortable place to stay in Citta Alta! The apartment is part of the top/ (third) floor of a gracious palazzo near Mercato del Fieno, a two-minute walk from shops and the walkway around the walls. The bedroom has an incredible view out across the town, as does the roof-top deck (accessible only from this apartment). There is plenty of space, a well-appointed kitchen, and a splendid host, who was friendly and helpful and got us a reservation in one of the only parking garages in Citta Alta -- right around the corner! We'll be back! (one note: there is no elevator. wasn't an issue for us, but might be for others).

Paolo and Alessandra were perfect hosts and always on hand with good advice and information. Their charming apartment is on the top floor of a listed building. There are beautiful views from every window. It is very quiet and has comfortable furnishings and a well equipped kitchen. It was especially useful to get our laundry done. The Citta Alta is an amazing town to discover cathedrals, galleries, museums, shops and great restaurants, not to forget about the bells which add to the Renaissance flavour.

if you're looking for a touch of grandeur that is also very well equipped and nicely furnished and yet within a stone's throw of all Bergamo's principal attractions then this is for you. We loved the place. It was all we could have hoped for, except perhaps the lack of AC as temperatures soared . The large fan did its best. Thanks to Alessandra and Paolo for painstakingly talking us through the handover. They really are the most caring and helpful hosts.

We loved our stay in Bergamo. The apartment was exactly as advertised, very quiet and comfortable and in a great location in Citta Alta. Although we didn't use it, the kitchen was well equipped. Alessandra was a wonderful host, giving us lots of local tips on where to eat and what to see. We would highly recommend this apartment if visiting Bergamo

Great stay at this property - fantastic location in the upper city, with short walk to cafes and restaurants. Despite this, it was very quiet at night. I can’t say enough about Alessandra, our host. She is hugely helpful and is an engaging person. The apartment is spacious for two people with all amenities needed. We will be back!

This three-room flat is everything we needed and more. It is well-equipped and comfortable, there are spectacular views of Citti Alta, and it is just a few steps away from the main street and square. We communicated with our host, Alessandra, multiple times in advance of our stay. She was gracious, helpful and responsive. Thanks so much!

The flat is in a great location in Citta Alta and was very clean. It is located within Citta Alta, so arranging for vehicle parking is helpful. The location is close enough to walk to all of the sights of the upper city, without experiencing any of the noise from the main street. The host was also very responsive and helpful.

Paolo and Allesandra are perfect hosts. Very quick to respond, very helpful and trustworthy. As a guests you feel you are in safe hands from the first point of contact. The apartment is charming and with a superb location in a quiet area of the middle of the old town. We would like to stay there again next time we visit the beautiful city of Bergamo.

The apartment is located within a beautiful old building. The location is perfect: very quiet yet only a few minutes from the hub of the Citta Alta. It’s very comfortable and the kitchen is extremely well-equipped . An excellent self-catering option and the owners are very friendly and helpful. Couldn’t ask for more.

Alessandra is amazing! She's so energetic and wonderfully hospitable! She had great guidance and wonderful suggestions for restaurants!The palace was large and sparkling clean! The views from the windows were fabulous! We enjoyed our evening on the top terrace, which also provided a magnificent view of Citta Alta! Alessandra is an absolutely wonderful person and an exceptional host! If you travel to Bergamo and want a special experience, you need to stay here!

Alessandra and her family were the most wonderful hosts. The apartment was stunning, even more beautiful than the pictures. I can’t even begin to describe how incredible the building was- from the lovely courtyard to the painted ceiling- truly exquisite! We were literally transported to authentic Italy- living in the old city of Bergamo. Alessandra was so kind and helpful and gave us so many great suggestions of places to visit, restaurants to eat etc. We did not want this holiday to end... and we hope to return again one day- Thankyou so much Alessandra and family for such a memorable stay in your stunning apartment!

What a magical place this is, it would be far too easy to rush past this pearl of a place and go directly to Milan. We almost did that and would have missed out on a great weekend experience. Yes we were blessed with fantastic weather but even it had been an overcast weekend the upper town of Bergamo would still shine. Easy of finding the apartment, correspondence, meeting the owner and even the owners son were all excellent, could not have been a better experience. I really do feel that whatever your interest is Citta Alta has it all, from breathtaking buildings (when you step inside some of the churches they really do take your breathe away), locally sourced food and wines served in excellent restaurants to cater for all budgets to unique transport links! It does have it all. We will certainly be back and for a longer stay this time. The apartment has a fantastic location and has everything that you should need. The outside space is a bonus as I guess not many old buildings can offer such, if I was being really picky it was disappointing that you could not see the entire magical views when seated outside. But no real hardship and I can understand due to the physical nature of the building why it is so. This certainly did not impinge on our enjoyment of the apartment nor the town, they were both fantastic, they complimented each other. Although I should not really be telling anyone about this as would rather keep it ourselves!!!!!

First visit for us to Bergamo. Rainy and foggy, but it didn’t matter. This place is amazing. And we would never want to stay anywhere else. Alessandra’s apartment is more than perfect. Beautiful, charming, comfortable and the best location. Fabulous views, spacious, everything you could want. We made one dinner at “home” so we could enjoy the apartment as much as possible. Alessandra and her son Alberto are so gracious, hospitable, and went out of their way to make our all too brief stay perfect. Very nearby restaurants were delicious and delightful. Grazie mille!!!

This was our 3rd time in Bergamo - we love the town, especially citra alta. The highlights of this apartment are the location, views from the rooftop deck, and helpful owner. The apartment itself is simple, but was all that we needed for our 3 nights. Note that the apartment is on the 3rd floor with no lift, and the rooftop deck is up a small, steep flight of stairs. No problem for us, but those with mobility issues may be challenged. Also, the bed is very firm/hard. Not the most comfortable, but ok for a couple nights. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

The apartment is very beautiful. There are a lot of space and a fine roof terrace with a view on Bergamo's many towers. Alessandra was a charming and helpful hostess. We could not expect anything better.

I have stayed in this flat before and chose to return because I loved the house and the town so much the first time. Arriving by the funicular (which is handily close by) feels like entering a different world. The owner is cheerful and helpful, and the flat is within a beautiful grand palazzo and yet has all the comforts of a homely place. It is great to be on the top floor overlooking the town and the hills beyond, and on what feels like a level with all the bells which sound morning and night. Bergamo offers so much, from art and history to beautiful landscape which is easily accessible by foot from town. Cobbled paths go all over the hillside and there is a wonderful outdoor bar on Via Virgilio with views for miles. There are some excellent places to eat - avoiding some of those right in the centre - but best of all we enjoyed eating in the flat which has a memorable little roof terrace. Should you want to, the bus and train services are a useful way to venture further afield though we have always found plenty to do in Bergamo itself and have been loathe to leave it. It is a special place.

Bergamo is a lovely city and there is no better way to experience Citta Alta then staying in once was an 18th century palazzo up a quiet street very near to the funicular that takes you to Citta Bassa. The apartment is on the 2nd floor - no lift - and has a large living room, kitchen with just about anything you need including a washer. The bedroom is large with plenty of closet space & drawers. The bathroom is fine. The owner, Alessandra, is very helpful and lives in the same building. Do note that their is no air conditioning, however, there is a lovely cross breeze from the windows. Also note that Bergamo churches love to ring their bells. And at 10PM every evening the bells ring 100 times - a centuries old tradition. We stayed three nights and decided at the last moment to take the 45 minute bus ride to Lake Iseo and we were glad we did. Don't miss the Accademia Carrara gallery art museum. Note that the taxi from the train station is Euro 10 and if you have luggage you don't want to have to deal with a bus to the funicular then the two block walk up a river rock road! Bergamo is a fabulous city and this property is an excellent choice to feel like a local!

This is my first stay in this apartment, although not my first stay with Alessandra. A special treat in this apt., was the novelty of sitting on the refurbished roof deck with a glass of vino, listening to the church bells and enjoying the views.I enjoy her hospitality and beautiful historic building so much that I return on my frequent trips to Italy. And Citta Alta feels like I am going home, my heart is sad when I depart.

I cannot speak highly enough of this property. The flat is at the top of a beautiful old building, accessed off a quiet cobbled street and a massive gate. From the bedroom window is a view across the old town and the hills and mountains beyond, and there is even a roof terrace. Each morning we were woken by the bells of the town. The flat is minimally and tastefully furnished and has a comfortable, homely feel. There is a powerful shower which sounds like a vespa scooter, and lovely old furniture. The owner Alessandra was really helpful and easy to get hold of but also I liked the fact that she let us be. Bergamo itself is a fascinating place. We stayed for nine nights in December and there was no shortage of things to do, As well as exploring the town we particularly loved the amazing walks out into the hills, all along little roads and endless cobbled paths and steps, with beautiful views across the plain and to the mountains. I had not taken my 'proper' walking boots so these walkways were ideal. We were very sad to leave and would love to go back some time.

our host Alessandra was all you could ask for at this amazing flat. RIght in the heart of Citta Alta the roof deck is spellbinding with 360 degree views of the city. Our host guided us to some amazing Italian food and sights to see. The flat was amazing and has been in her husbands family for 100 years and clean and comfortable as it gets. The location is close to everything Bergamo! Do not pass this up it is something we will cherish forever. Thank You for having us Alessandra we hope to see you again soon. Jamie and Sheila. I tulia nuovi amici!!

The apartment is located just meters from the very center of the historical area of Bergamo, but on a quiet street but with very easy access to restaurants and its pretty commercial streets. It is situated on the top floor of a historical building with a very nice entrance as shown in the various pictures. The apartment is very comfortable, with a fully furnished living room/dining room area, equipped kitchen, bathrooms and master bedroom of good proportions. For those driving, non resident parking is not allowed in the historical center of Bergamo, except for a limited time to load/unload suitcases. However long-term free parking is available some distance away. On a one very positive note, the owners were extremely helpful in getting us settled, and communication with them was nothing short off excellent. I would most certainly recommend this apartment to those that want to stay in the beautiful center of Bergamo's Citta Alta.

Owners showed us around and recommended restaurant - truly fab recommendation and experience. Would stay again.

This apartment is absolutely perfect and fully deserves a five star rating. It is a large and very comfortable apartment with a full kitchen including a washing machine and dishwasher. The view from the bedroom window over the rooftops is mesmerizing. It is a cool, quiet oasis in the middle of town. Bergamo itself is one of the most picturesque towns in Northern Italy with some great restaurants and shops. We spent four days here and were sad to leave. Allesendra is a joy to meet with an infectious laugh and nothing is too much trouble for her guests.

This flat is perfect for visiting Bergamo and the interesting towns nearby. It has everything you need in a very comfortable setting and great location. The view from the upstairs terrace is not to be missed. Best of all, the owner is very friendly, helpful and accommodating.

We had a wonderful time. Excellent location, very quiet but so central and convenient. Alessandra extremely helpful and friendly. Extremely comfortable flat, everything that was needed was provided. Thank you for a wonderful time. Lynn and dave.

Wir mieten häufig Ferienwohnungen, diese bekommt sehr gute Noten: Geräumig, geschmackvoll und praktisch eingerichtet, ruhig gelegen mit schöner Aussicht, aber Läden der Città Alta ganz nahe, ebenso der Funicolare, der die Verbindung macht mit dem Bahnhofbus. Signora Alessandra ist sehr zuvorkommend und nett. Werden diese Wohnung wieder mieten. Spacious, elegant and practical flat with a nice view, situated in a quiet area, but near shops of Città Alta and near Funicolare that connects to bus and railway station. Signora Alessandra is very nice and helpful. Will rent this flat again. Katrin and Edward, Switzerland
