Sometimes you pick an Airbnb that simply supports your trip and adventures, and very rarely you find one that actually IMPROVES it! You simply must stay with Laura and Paulo. Wonderful people who have put together a wonderful place for you to explore the Bergamo region. They deserve every nice thing these reviews have stated.
I was going to rent in Bergamo in order to see the Lago di Garda, but when I saw the reviews of this place I decided to take a chance. Honestly, it was like staying with friends who happen to have a beautiful apartment for guests in their home.
Laura allowed us to come over early with our bags so that we could explore the area and not fear them being stolen after checking out of our Milan accommodations. The apartment at Casa di Giorgio is exactly as pictured, very hospitable and comfortable and the views are GORGEOUS!
Paulo made time each morning to help us know more about the area and made restaurant suggestions, and then made us reservations just like a great concierge. They offered us coffee and eggs and meats and cheeses and fresh breads in the morning. Wine and beer are available all day (for a very reasonable cost!). I didn't try the gym but it's very clean!!
Laura was willing to communicate with me easily and frequently on WhatsApp, which really really helps you feel comfortable. They are both very friendly and talkative and also respectful of your privacy. Many reviewers said they shared a meal with these hosts, and that is my only regret that we did not (we were out and about... perhaps if we had stayed another night).
We are from California so we are used to paying $$$$$ for hotels. This Airbnb seems so affordable... I can't believe what a deal we got. They even sent us away with small gifts! I feel like I got paid to stay there. :)
If you would like to visit the Alpine lakes of Italy, you must make this your home away from home.
