It is one of the most evocative streets of Bergamo, 50 meters from the Funicular, in a quiet area, even if very central, of the Upper Town. The back window faces Via San Giacomo. The apartment is very nice, with new furniture and with a fireplace for a romantic evening. The bedroom has a real 1950s booth to divide the sleeping area from a living room that turns into a further double bed. The bathroom is essential, to give more space to everything else :-)
If you reach CittĂ Alta with the Funicolare you enjoy a unique panorama and just get off, you just have to take 50 steps, and you have arrived. The apartment is located in a quiet area, in the street parallel to the shops. The less known, but more fascinating because it leads to Piazza Vecchia and Santa Maria Maggiore from a magical side of the Upper Town. The apartment is ideal for a romantic couple or for a family with children. As soon as you enter the door you breathe the air of the stately homes of the historic village. Climb up a flight of stairs overlooking the pretty inner courtyard and you have arrived. Inside you have everything you need to feel at home: a kitchen with a window, a fireplace, a small bathroom (remember that it is small, but essential), a living area that borders the room. In the middle a real 1950s restored booth.
Suffice it to say that it is the quarter where Finicato arrives, in the splendid Piazza "delle 7 vie" called Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe. At the beginning of the Upper Town, in the most evocative quarter of the whole historic village. In the square you will find two outdoor bars, a restaurant, a pub, a take-away pizzeria, an ice cream parlor. You will be 100 meters from the Rocca di Bergamo, 100 meters from Piazza Vecchia, 100 meters from the Duomo, Santa Maria Maggiore and the Colleoni Chapel, 100 meters from the Venetian Walls. Hence the name of our house. You can always meet people of all nationalities. You will stay in the side street, the quietest, the least crowded, the one that few know, but also the most magical.
You will be 50 steps away from the Funicular where you can also take the bus to the station and from there take the train or shuttle to the airport. Very easy. The house is in the best served place in the entire Upper Town. You can enter the historic center (ZTL area) with your car, thanks to the permit for the car that will be issued to you upon your arrival. The house is in the historic center and therefore once you have parked or arrived, you will already be where you need to be. Everything will be reachable with a walk.
You canât beat this place for location & service. We had a wonderful stay. Titina, our property manager, was excellent and super helpful. Two comments for consideration: the listing indicates âlaundryâ. We assumed this to be a washing machine- that was not the case. Full service laundry service is available for a reasonable fee. For those from the US, the shower will be a surprise- you pull the shower curtain past the sink & door and shower away. Neither of these would stop us from returning, but be aware of these facts if they would be issues for you. The location and welcoming apartment are great, BTW, Bergamo is a wonderful stop in Northern Italy - we love this town. We will return. We RECOMMEND,
Eine Wohnung fĂŒr ein Paar und ggf. eine weitere Person in einem alten Haus mit viel Charakter. Es ist alles vorhanden was man braucht. In wenigen Gehminuten erreicht man die zentrale Piazza Vecchia, hervorrangende Restaurants oder auch die Bergbahn zur Neustadt (Citta Bassa). Sichere Parkmöglichkeit in der NĂ€he, allerdings nicht ganz billig.
Die Betreuung durch Ansprechpersonen vor Ort ist vorbildlich.
Cute apartment in a perfect location to walk to the sites in Bergamo. The host was wonderful about reserving parking for us, meeting us at the apartment, and finding us a convenient location to take a COVID test prior to getting on a plane back to the states. While the bathroom was a bit small, I would definitely stay again.
Posizione Centrale difronte alla funicolare che porta a Bergamo Alta,centrale per la passeggiata molto carino l'appartamento dotato di diversi comfort.
Punto di forza insuperabile Ăš la centralitĂ dell'appartamento : ideale per visitare la CittĂ Alta. A due passi c'Ăš uno street food specializzato in polenta che piacevolmente si abbina ad una vacanza low cost , ma di qualitĂ .
in a good location, quiet. bathroom a nightmare, no bidet, shower and toilet sharing the same space!! unacceptable absence of a bidet and room to breathe. suitable for a couple of friends. totally unacceptable for 21st century living.
