About this property

Elegant, confortable flat in historical house, in the heart of Città Alta

In the heart of upper Bergamo and facing one of the nicest architectural monuments in town, S. Francesco cloister, still protected from the noise of the main street. Two minutes away from the funicular and the enchanting Piazza Vecchia, it is in a strategic position to reach the places of historical and architectural interest such as the Teatro Sociale, Piazza Vecchia and the Palazzo della Ragione, and St. Augustin church , to name but a few.
You will be lodged in a mansion house dating back to the XIV and XVI centuries. Walking through a marvellous old original wooden gate, you will gain access to the privacy of an interior courtyard with a portico, a central well, a wrought iron balcony and a blown glass door. The palace has belonged for generations to one family that take pains and devote resources to the upkeep of the building. A marvellous stately stairway of stone and wrought iron, ceiling fresco, period furniture, a beam ceilings and an unparalleled view over S. Vigilio Hill.

outstanding apartment in palazzo very close to Citta Alta centre
Prime location in Citta Alta but completely free of the noise and hustle of the main street. Everything is walkable including the funicolare down into the new town. The apartment is the type of place that you can spend a lot of time in - so comfortable, light and airy.

Great place, great situation, great experience
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.

A superb apartment in a perfection location
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.

Beautiful Bergamo
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!

Perfect weekend break which we wish could have turned into a longer holiday
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!!!!!
