About this property

Elegant, confortable flat in historical house, in the heart of Città Alta

In the heart of upper Bergamo and facing one of the nicest architectural monuments in town, S. Francesco cloister, still protected from the noise of the main street. Two minutes away from the funicular and the enchanting Piazza Vecchia, it is in a strategic position to reach the places of historical and architectural interest such as the Teatro Sociale, Piazza Vecchia and the Palazzo della Ragione, and St. Augustin church , to name but a few.
You will be lodged in a mansion house dating back to the XIV and XVI centuries. Walking through a marvellous old original wooden gate, you will gain access to the privacy of an interior courtyard with a portico, a central well, a wrought iron balcony and a blown glass door. The palace has belonged for generations to one family that take pains and devote resources to the upkeep of the building. A marvellous stately stairway of stone and wrought iron, ceiling fresco, period furniture, a beam ceilings and an unparalleled view over S. Vigilio Hill.

This flat was superbly appointed and a perfect haven from the hustle and bustle of the Citta Alta.The location, in Via Solata, only steps from Via Gombito, is ideal and the views from the rooftop area and the bedroom are stunning.Alessandra was the perfect host, with excellent communications throughout with the check in process being very straightforward. She also gave us excellent recommendations, including a visit to the Palazzo Moroni and a restaurant in San Vigilio.

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

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.

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.

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!

Truly, beyond our expectations! We were treated so well by Alessandra and family, with care and respect and support for our needs and wishes. It was like home away from home. The apartment was perfectly appointed and had all kitchen amenities. Location was steps away from the heart of Citta Alta yet quiet and private behind the walls of this amazing piazza. Would love to go back and do it all over again! Bergamo kept us busy and enthralled for 2 weeks! Music, art, Lombardy annual bike race, markets, and hidden gem cuisine. Go! And stay at this beautiful place.

Well located apparment, and warm hospitality

Very charming appartment situated perfectly in "Citta Alta". So it was easy to explore Bergamos attractions and enyoing ice cremes in the warm weather and finding restarant nearby. Most of all - we meet a fantastic owner of the appartment. With pleasure, we are looking back at warm welcoming and a very helpfull host. Many thanks. Best regards Rosa, Minna, Line & Allan

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.

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!

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.

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...

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!

wonderful hosts - perfect place to stay

"We found Il Chiostro on the really useful homeaway.com site as we were planning our first visit to Bergamo in 2012. From the very first email we found the owner Alessandra helpful and friendly and all the arrangements were easy. We stayed a whole week in the wonderful flat on the top floor and found it quite delightful - and exactly as shown on all the photographs on the web. Our hosts were so welcoming and provided the answers to lots of questions about where to eat and shop and how to book trains etc. The flat is elegant and homely and very quiet even though just minutes from restaurants, shops, the funicular and the bus stop. We loved our stay so much that this year we stayed there again - this time in the larger flat on the first floor up, looking out over the Alps. Again a wonderful base for exploring the charming city and its surroundings. And another warm welcome from the Bisettis into their wonderful palazzo. We have just booked our third stay in May 2014 and it will feel like coming home this time. A perfect place to say - we would recommend it heartily." Sue and Don from Australia
