We know Bergamo well as my husband is from the area. This was the first time we stayed in Citta Alta and we loved it. The proximity of bars and restaurants was great. Antonella’s apartment was perfect for our needs. The climb up the stairs to the apartment certainly gave us a work out but was manageable. Antonella kindly reserved a parking space for us which was a god send as otherwise parking would have been an issue. It was well worth the €20 a day. For first time visitors to Italy do expect to be woken by the half hourly church bells. I would definitely recommend Antonella’s apartment.
