Stella's little apartment is the perfect bolt-hole for staying in Bergamo Alta. It's just steps from all the main sights and restaurants yet in a very quiet street. It's very stylishly furnished and spotlessly clean.
Communications with Stella were very good both before and during my week's stay. Oliviero met me on arrival and Stella kindly organised a taxi to take me to the station on my departure.
Bergamo Alta is one of the loveliest places I've been to in Italy and the lower part is very interesting and charming with an outstanding art museum. Both parts are easily accessed either on foot or by the funicular.
I would happily recommend Bergamo and Stella's apartment there to anyone wanting a peaceful but interesting break.
