A great stay

We returned to Bergamo in early December to watch the holiday season arrive in Citta Alta. As this was our fourth stay at 10 via Solata, it was a “coming home” experience. Once again, the Bisetti’s were wonderful hosts, the apartment had improvements, and as always, fresh, clean, comfortable, and welcoming. We appreciate the central location in this old city, being able to walk to several museums, and lots of restaurants, and the funicular to the lower city is very close by. We also appreciate the deep history of this city and the well-preserved building the Bisetti’s call home. Thanks for a wonderful visit and we look forward to returning.

Lovely flat, quiet with great views

Lovely place in old palazzo on quiet street. Very nicely equipped kitchen. Two big beds...one in a bedroom, the other a fold out couch in the living room. Unfortunately we were there during a heat streak...apt on top floor and even with closing shutters etc to sun, it got over 90 F in afternoons into evening, but host supplied additional fan when asked. Unusual heat, but still...

outstanding apartment in palazzo very close to Citta Alta centre

Prime location in Citta Alta but completely free of the noise and hustle of the main street. Everything is walkable including the funicolare down into the new town. The apartment is the type of place that you can spend a lot of time in - so comfortable, light and airy.

Amazing location, well equipped, amazing roof deck

I had a fantastic time staying here! What stood out most is that this has been a guest house for a long time—at least ten years in the guest book—and so it is extremely well equipped, especially in the kitchen. I was solo but a couple or small family would be very comfortable here for an extended stay. The location is unbeatable. Alessandra was very thorough in checking me in, taking a lot of time to give me recommendations about what to see and how to book travel back to Milan. She lives right downstairs and was available on WhatsApp if anything came up. The roof is incredible. The historic palazzo is really cool. A perk for me as an eco-conscious person was that there is compost and recycling so you can travel with minimal waste. I will stay here again when I come back to Bergamo!

Spacious apartment with a beautiful view

What a beautiful, comfortable place to stay in Citta Alta! The apartment is part of the top/ (third) floor of a gracious palazzo near Mercato del Fieno, a two-minute walk from shops and the walkway around the walls. The bedroom has an incredible view out across the town, as does the roof-top deck (accessible only from this apartment). There is plenty of space, a well-appointed kitchen, and a splendid host, who was friendly and helpful and got us a reservation in one of the only parking garages in Citta Alta -- right around the corner! We'll be back! (one note: there is no elevator. wasn't an issue for us, but might be for others).

Palazzo Bisetti is a Perfect VRBO

Paolo and Alessandra were perfect hosts and always on hand with good advice and information. Their charming apartment is on the top floor of a listed building. There are beautiful views from every window. It is very quiet and has comfortable furnishings and a well equipped kitchen. It was especially useful to get our laundry done. The Citta Alta is an amazing town to discover cathedrals, galleries, museums, shops and great restaurants, not to forget about the bells which add to the Renaissance flavour.

Great place, great situation, great experience

if you're looking for a touch of grandeur that is also very well equipped and nicely furnished and yet within a stone's throw of all Bergamo's principal attractions then this is for you. We loved the place. It was all we could have hoped for, except perhaps the lack of AC as temperatures soared . The large fan did its best. Thanks to Alessandra and Paolo for painstakingly talking us through the handover. They really are the most caring and helpful hosts.

Great place with an excellent host

We loved our stay in Bergamo. The apartment was exactly as advertised, very quiet and comfortable and in a great location in Citta Alta. Although we didn't use it, the kitchen was well equipped. Alessandra was a wonderful host, giving us lots of local tips on where to eat and what to see. We would highly recommend this apartment if visiting Bergamo

Wonderful base in Citta Alta of Bergamo

Great stay at this property - fantastic location in the upper city, with short walk to cafes and restaurants. Despite this, it was very quiet at night. I can’t say enough about Alessandra, our host. She is hugely helpful and is an engaging person. The apartment is spacious for two people with all amenities needed. We will be back!

Spectacular Stay!

This three-room flat is everything we needed and more. It is well-equipped and comfortable, there are spectacular views of Citti Alta, and it is just a few steps away from the main street and square. We communicated with our host, Alessandra, multiple times in advance of our stay. She was gracious, helpful and responsive. Thanks so much!

Great Location and Flat

The flat is in a great location in Citta Alta and was very clean. It is located within Citta Alta, so arranging for vehicle parking is helpful. The location is close enough to walk to all of the sights of the upper city, without experiencing any of the noise from the main street. The host was also very responsive and helpful.

The apartment is located within a beautiful old building. The location is perfect: very quiet yet only a few minutes from the hub of the Citta Alta.

Magical Stay in a Palace!

Alessandra is amazing! She's so energetic and wonderfully hospitable! She had great guidance and wonderful suggestions for restaurants! The palace was large and sparkling clean! The views from the windows were fabulous! We enjoyed our evening on the top terrace, which also provided a magnificent view of Citta Alta!

Beautiful Bergamo

Alessandra and her family were the most wonderful hosts. The apartment was stunning, even more beautiful than the pictures. I can’t even begin to describe how incredible the building was- from the lovely courtyard to the painted ceiling- truly exquisite! We were literally transported to authentic Italy- living in the old city of Bergamo. Alessandra was so kind and helpful and gave us so many great suggestions of places to visit, restaurants to eat etc. We did not want this holiday to end... and we hope to return again one day- Thankyou so much Alessandra and family for such a memorable stay in your stunning apartment!

Urlaub in der Oberstadt Bergamos

Mein Mann und ich haben fünf Nächte in dieser netten Wohnung verbracht. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, so dass wir auch selber kochen und das Essen auf der Dachterrasse, die durch ein schmale Stiege zu erreichen ist, einnehmen konnten. Die Wohnung liegt in der Altstadt in unmittelbarer Umgebung zahlreicher Sehenswürdigkeiten. Der Kontakt mit den Vermieter war sehr freundlich und verlief problemlos.
