I've never had such an amazing Airbnb experience in my life, and I am not just saying that! First off, I've never found such a stylish, modern and clean house anywhere in the world on Airbnb. I still can't believe how lucky I was to find this place!.
But more importantly Alessandra, Marcel, Gaia, and Maite are all kind and generous people--a beautiful family that made my trip extra special. I feel privileged to know them and will always choose to stay here when I visit Bergamo. Photos can hardly capture the beauty of the space let alone the hospitality this family offers so naturally!
Now for those guests wanting more details about the space, here you go:
To start. you enter through a beautiful antique entrance door, which then opens up to a second, modern door with a state of the art Austrian electronic locking system. This not only made me feel safe, but it also gave me ideas for my own home!
You then enter the house and climb a beautiful staircase (with motion detector led lights that turn on as soon as you approach them.) Your room will be on the first floor at the end of a hallway you share with Alessandra and Marcel's daughters, two sweet teenage girls finishing high school and with their ambitious eyes set on top tier universities in Europe.
Passing their rooms, you finally reach the end of the hall and open up the door to your room. You find a spacious, clean and comfortable space you instantly fall in love with. The bed is a kingsize, I believe, and extremely comfortable. I must stress this point because I'm obsessed with proper beds and here you will find you want to take home with you. The bedding and linen were sparkling clean and in a very welcoming fresh white color.
Now to add the cherry on top, your own personal bathroom in the room is absolutely perfect. It is designed ergonomically with a modern style that is very functional. To top it off it has a bathtub which I enjoyed on multiple occasions with bath salts which were provided on the house (shower gel, shampoo, and hand soap were also provided!!!!) I have never been so comfortable in an Airbnb bathroom, and frankly, not even in my own! It was such a plus to have a private bathroom. It allowed me to relax undisturbed after the long days spent walking around the beautiful Citta Alta of Bergamo.
Now, to move one, let me try to give you a taste of the second floor. If you want to go into the common area, you go up another flight of elegant stairs and enter a sublime, open kitchen, dining and living space, which is perfectly designed to maximize functionality with sociability. Architectural Digest could even publish an article on space. My words can't do justice to the beauty of the second floor. There is even a third floor, where Alessandra and Marcel sleep, which I am sure is equally beautiful, but of course, like all the family's rooms, I naturally didn't enter. But one can only imagine that if the rest of the house is so nice, the third floor must be equally as nice.
All in all, this home is breathtaking. And even though it is so pristine, it also has a warm environment and makes you feel right at home.
Literally, do not hesitate a moment to book your stay. I just hope you do not reserve a stay while I plan another visit to Bergamo ;)
Oh, they also have a dog, Kiki, who is adorable. I love dogs and spent hours just cuddling and playing with this pup. Even if you are not a dog lover, I'd be surprised to hear you do not love Kiki.
Enjoy your stay!
