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.

Paolo and Alessandra were exceptional hosts in their beautiful home, where we stayed on the top floor. They were most helpful with information about Bergamo. The apartment was charming and centrally located. We would stay with them again!

Welcoming and Well Equipped in a Great Location

This flat is perfect for visiting Bergamo and the interesting towns nearby. It has everything you need in a very comfortable setting and great location. The view from the upstairs terrace is not to be missed. Best of all, the owner is very friendly, helpful and accommodating.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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...

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

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 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.
