Just perfect!
The apartment is very well located in Bergamo, a five-minute walk from the upper town and about a 15-minute walk from the station. There are a couple of great small cafés 30 seconds away and a couple of minutes in the other direction brings you to the Accademia Carrara, a fantastic art gallery. Eliana was a great contact and provided all the necessary info to find the key and then find the apartment within the palazzo before arrival. The apartment itself is generously large, clean, fresh and a delight to stay in. I hope to be visiting Bergamo again and I will definitely be staying here if I can!

A beautifully renovated and updated apartment in a renaissance palazzo. A short walk from the bus stop from the airport and the funicular to the Citta Alta. Comfortable and well equipped. Because the road is narrow with high buildings either side any passing traffic sounds noisy but the windows shut out most of the noise. We had excellent communication from Eliana

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Bergamo for two nights. The location was excellent, right in the center of Bergamo. The interior was cozy and nicely decorated, making us feel at home. The communication with the host was fantastic, and we received all the necessary tips and advice. The self-check-in process was very simple, which relieved any stress about arriving late (we had a late flight). Overall, it was a great experience and we highly recommend it!

Pleasant Stay in Bergamo
The apartment was very comfortable & has everything you need. It is a short walk to the funicular and there are places at the end of the street for coffee & spritzes. Eliana was extremely welcoming & even collected us from the station. It was a great base for our stay in Bergamo.

Wonderful stay in Bergamo
We had such a lovely stay in this apartment. We stayed for 4 nights, which was perfect to explore the city and regions around. When we arrived, Eliana was there to welcome us and we checked in easily. Her and her sister gave us great recommendations of things to do and where to eat. When we were looking for scooters to rent, Eliana called the rental place for us (we don't speak Italian) which was great service. She was extremely helpful to us and so sweet. The apartment had everything we needed and was very comfortable and clean. It is well located between the Cita Alta and cita Bassa, which means that the street can get a bit loud so if you are a light sleeper, close the windows or maybe bring ear plugs. We would recommend this apartment and Eliana in a heartbeat to anyone going to Bergamo.

Great location and beautiful apartment
Location is excellent with easy access to Cita Alta and commercial centre of Bergamo. The apartment has been beautifully restored and Simona was very helpful with check in and a late check out. The road is quite noisy but not a problem if you close the window. Would definitely book again when back in Bergamo.

This is a very comfortable efficient apartment with plenty of room, light, and fresh air. Eliana is a friendly and helpful host. Please note that a person needs to be in good physical condition to handle the mountainous terrain above and below the apartment. It is also on the third floor. Not a problem if you're strong.

A Must Stay for 1 or a Couple
Location was convenient to local transportation, local stores, and located just outside of the old city. Neighborhood was clean, safe and quaint. Apartment was very clean and well appointed with all the amenities one would need.; lots of historical charm. Eliana and her sister Simona were very accommodating and always accessible. Process to reserve and pay was very simple. Looking forward to staying at this property during my next trip to Bergamo.

Very enjoyable 5 day stay
We have just returned from a 5 day Easter stay in this lovely apartment. Spotlessly clean, everything is as described. Fantastic shower! Sound proof windows and heavy wooden shutters cut out all street noise so sleeping was never an issue. Very well located. Eliana and Simone even provided everything we needed for breakfast and snacks...including bread,milk, butter, jam, biscuits, etc. Very much appreciated and totally unexpected! We have no hesitation in recommending this apartment.

Bergamo was amazing!
We absolutely loved our stay in Bergamo made all the more amazing through the help and kindness of Eliana. She could not do enough for us, and the local tips on where to eat and drink in the old town were brilliant..... suggest you visit both the trattoria and wine bar as you are in for a real treat! The apartment was beautiful, spotlessly clean and with everything you need. It was about a 20 walk to the old town or 15 to the funicular if you don’t like hills :) Thank you Eliana, we hope to be back to Bergamo again and would not hesitate to stay at your apartment.

Lovely, clean space, with attention to detail in fantastic location.
The apartment is spotless, roomy - perfect for couple. Kitchen has everything you need. All the cooking and breakfast basics are provided...so no need to shop for tea or coffee on first day. Location is fantastic, between the old citta alta and modern town. All the rooms are facing a little cobble street so car sounds can be a bit loader on cobble stones. (The windows are double glazed). It's very comfortable, very well prepared accommodation. It is obvious there is a lot of love and care here. Very frequent bus service nearby (100 metres) that zips you around towns (upper and lower). Get a multi-day ticket. No car needed unless you are travelling outside of town. Great local bars in tiny plaza nearby (50 metres) for coffee, drinks, snack.

Great apartment in excellent location. Owner is an amazing and delightful lady, highly
Having stayed in numerous holiday apartments over the last 26+ years I would rate the owner in the top 3 for her attention to detail and total desire to make your stay memorable for all the right reasons. Met us at the appointed time and location with a smile and genuine desire to assist. Showed us around the apartment which was as per the pictures. She provided breakfast for the duration of our stay. Eliana spent time with us outlining what was in the immediate area by way of cafes, bars and restaurants. She even organized parking (paid) for us. Rang us later to see if she could assist us and to ensure we were settled in comfortably. The area the apartment is in is very safe and we had no issue going out after 9pm for meals. Eliana suggested that we might enjoy a visit to the old Bergamo township. This visit was the highlight of our stay. The old township is a very comfortable an picturesque walk of some 20 minutes. Really is a beautiful place with the streets lined with medieval buildings. You could and should spend half a day wandering around the street of the old town. Within five minutes walk from the apartment there are half a dozen cafes,bars and restaurants and a small store where the lovely lady sells all the basic necessities. It would be a mistake not to take the chance of staying in this apartment. Highly recommend.

Clean, comfy apartment in great old Bergamo location
My wife and I stayed here for the last two nights of our Italy honeymoon. Eliana is a fantastic host and took great care of us. She met us outside the apartment, took us up to it and gave us a great detailed walk through. The apartment is nicely redone and comfy and is in an amazing old building situated in an old part of Bergamo. The location itself is fantastic for walking to the upper Bergamo section on the hill. Great food nearby. We really loved our stay here and highly recommend for a stay in Bergamo. We would love to make it back there. Thanks Eliana!!

Très bel appartement situé entre la ville haute et la ville basse, tout près d'arrêts de bus si besoin. Le seul petit bémol pour nous,c'est le bruit des voitures qui passent dans la rue mais il faut dire que nous n'y sommes pas habitués dans nos demeures respectives.

Romantic and super comfortable!
The place is lovely, super clean, very well furnished. Even better than in pictures! You have plenty of space both in the living/kitchen room and in the bedroom. Also the bathroom was wonderful, and the shower is huge! So comfortable! Eliana was a perfect host, she was able to answer any question and totally helpful during our stay! The building and the street are very quiet and charming. Easy parking, plenty of nice coffee bar and restaurants near the house! I would definitely recommend this place!
