We planned an overnight stay at Angela’s house in Bergamo more by chance after booking a flight arriving into Bergamo Airport. We originally planned to head straight to Milan but decided to look into a night in Bergamo en-route.

What a great decision this turned out to be! We had a fantastic 24 hour stay! Upper Bergamo is an Historic town set on the hill and the architecture and setting is breathtaking. At times it looks almost unreal! There are many shops, cafes and boutiques set within the small historic streets all maintained in their original splendor. Very beautiful.

Angela was very helpful with details on how to travel to the house and she met us for check-in on arrival. The house is very central and close to all Bergamo has to offer. It’s great. Check-in was very easy and Angela explained the house and the details. She also provided a really useful map and details of things to do and see during our stay. She also very kindly made a restaurant reservation earlier that week so we could have dinner on the evening.

The house is beautiful. You enter through an historic courtyard and immediately you feel part of the experience of Bergamo. Its great. Inside the house has been lovingly renovated to combine the modern facilities with traditional feeling. The original stone, wooden beams are all in place making this house very unique. It’s fantastic.

Outside there is a terrace from the living area plus a lovely courtyard garden below catching the afternoon sun.

The bathrooms are new with lovely towels and the bedrooms very spacious and comfortable. There is heating control for the rooms and the house is extremely peaceful.

We had a fantastic stay. Only wish we could stay for longer! Highly recommended for the friendly welcome, beautiful house and amazing location!
