Top floor of a palazzo

Characterful flat on top floor of a palazzo situated in a quiet area but not far from the centre of Città Alta. A lovely apartment well located in the heart of Bergamo Alto. There was everything in the apartment we needed for a wonderful week. Bergamo is charming. Paula who welcomed us was very friendly and showed us around the apartment and explained how everything worked. We had 2 lovely conversations with Alessandra. Thank you for the suggestions of where to go and eat. Staying in Il Chiostro has been so restorative. Thank you for the hospitality. Bergamo is a wonderful place to holiday.

Excellent Location in Bergamo

This was a great place to stay in Bergamo. It's in a convenient location in Citta Alta, but just slightly off the main thoroughfare so it felt like an oasis of calm. It's part of a historical palazzo, and the decor follows suit.The kitchen is quite well equipped, albeit with some slightly chaotic aspects. There is a roof terrace accessed via (fairly steep) stairs, lovely for an aperitivo on a sunny evening. The bed is confortable. Communication with the host was first class, and she helped us arrange a driver to pick us up from the airport - which worked well. She also recommended a couple of excellent restaurants (Il Circolino a particular highlight). Highly recommended - we hope to be back!

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...

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.

Perfect weekend break which we wish could have turned into a longer holiday

What a magical place this is, it would be far too easy to rush past this pearl of a place and go directly to Milan. We almost did that and would have missed out on a great weekend experience. Yes we were blessed with fantastic weather but even it had been an overcast weekend the upper town of Bergamo would still shine. Easy of finding the apartment, correspondence, meeting the owner and even the owners son were all excellent, could not have been a better experience. I really do feel that whatever your interest is Citta Alta has it all, from breathtaking buildings (when you step inside some of the churches they really do take your breathe away), locally sourced food and wines served in excellent restaurants to cater for all budgets to unique transport links! It does have it all. We will certainly be back and for a longer stay this time. The apartment has a fantastic location and has everything that you should need. The outside space is a bonus as I guess not many old buildings can offer such, if I was being really picky it was disappointing that you could not see the entire magical views when seated outside. But no real hardship and I can understand due to the physical nature of the building why it is so. This certainly did not impinge on our enjoyment of the apartment nor the town, they were both fantastic, they complimented each other. Although I should not really be telling anyone about this as would rather keep it ourselves!!!!!

More than perfect

First visit for us to Bergamo. Rainy and foggy, but it didn’t matter. This place is amazing. And we would never want to stay anywhere else. Alessandra’s apartment is more than perfect. Beautiful, charming, comfortable and the best location. Fabulous views, spacious, everything you could want. We made one dinner at “home” so we could enjoy the apartment as much as possible. Alessandra and her son Alberto are so gracious, hospitable, and went out of their way to make our all too brief stay perfect. Very nearby restaurants were delicious and delightful. Grazie mille!!!

Great location, amazing views.

This was our 3rd time in Bergamo - we love the town, especially citra alta. The highlights of this apartment are the location, views from the rooftop deck, and helpful owner. The apartment itself is simple, but was all that we needed for our 3 nights. Note that the apartment is on the 3rd floor with no lift, and the rooftop deck is up a small, steep flight of stairs. No problem for us, but those with mobility issues may be challenged. Also, the bed is very firm/hard. Not the most comfortable, but ok for a couple nights. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!
