As good as Paolo's and Laura's place already seems at a first glance on the Airbnb, it exceedes expectations when you arrive. There are so many impressions that i better line them up so not to forget something:
- Paolo and Laura are exceptional and born-to-be hosts. If there was a button that you could use once in every 10 places you visit, i would use it for them without hesitation. They make you feel at home from the first second on. You can tell they travelled a lot in their live already, since broad-mindedness makes spending time chatting with them so very special.
- the location is best of the best you can find in area; on one side you are minutes away from Bergamo, airport, stores etc. but at the same time you can chill in private place far away and literally above from anyone; the uniqueness of that combination just blows your mind away.
- when you arrive you are greeted by warmest and most home-feel couple you will ever meet (and i'm not exaggerating even a bit) and by the magical combination of lavender saturated air, bird singing and cricket sounds in the distance.
- rooms and bathroom are clean, well equipped, with delicate personal touches
- there also is a taverna, where Paolo and Laura make sure you start a day with balanced breakfast (which was a surprise for me, i didn't know we would be treated a breakfast too :) ) with home milk. Laura suggested and made pancakes for us,
- arriving in new area you need first-hand local information which Paolo and Laura provided with great enthusiasm + [this one is a gem! ->] they prepared an excellent mini-book of local visiting sites, restaurants, shops, etc. so you can consider ideas for spending time.
To sum up, i admit i am probably one of most picky and hard-to-satisfy people but if i ever revisit Bergamo area, there is just one place where i want to stay. Paolo's and Laura's home.
