Great location
Casa Mario Lupa is an excellent base for exploring Citta Alta in Bergamo. Located in an old building the facilities are fine. Our room did not have a window we could use but otherwise we had everything we needed. Breakfast was limited but again ok. The owner was welcoming and helpful.

Dear Alanthank you for posting this nice opinionTo be exact the room has only ONE window, overlooking to the internal courtyard, of course being located at ground floor our guests can not have a view; better views can be had from our higher roomsKind regardsThe staff

A perfect break
Excellent facilities, and great location just a few yards away from the main walking streets of Bergamo (upper town). There are four locked gateways/doors to get through to access your room which added to the feeling of being very protected within this beautiful old building. The very polite owner & his family live on site which was also very reassuring. Breakfast was always served with a smile and some good advice on restaurants. Local Bergamo wine is available to purchase from owner as well as a selection of beverages. Bergamo has history and beauty in equal measure. The Basilica is one of the most beautiful I’ve been in.

Gianmauro was an excellent and very friendly host. The property is a medieval house in the center of old Bergamo, close to the Cathedral and several churches. The room was quiet and pleasant. Highly recommended.

Location is great, and the property is in an old palace, with frescoes, really beautiful! Overall, I recommend it. Unfortunately, we probably got the worst room in that property. It's a room on the ground floor that had only one window, facing the entrance. So, if we wanted to have natural light, privacy would be a bit compromised. Other rooms above us had more windows.

This is a mixed review. I give the B&B 10 for the location in Bergamo’s historique center and for the historical building. The room was very big and had a full size fridge. I give them 7 when it comes to the breakfast and the service. Also at this location the locality forbids heating after April 15 so if you encounter a cold spell in the weather as we did, the room is cold (19 celcius). If you are by car, you must park in a private parking facility about 5 minutes away passing on cobblestone streets. The parking is a very safe place to put your car but it costs 25 Euros. Took funicular to citti bassa where you can find a nice laundromat and wash and dry for about 10 euros. A good 15-minute walk.

Dear Jacquelinethank you for your positive review. we can only add this important new. In Italy, in all all private and public area, offices bar and hotel , the national law obligate all business to set a temperature internal of 19 degrees,max 19.50; this is a law and we might respect; in the winter it is set on 2 degrees; In may the heating machines must be turned off, so there is nothing to say about it; that week of may we had some rain and cool wind, but it is very far away to say "cold", it is the room temperature that we had in that time; Unfortunately, due to the new laws on contamination and saving gas rjules, it is no longer time for us and our guest to have 22/23 degrees on may, sorry but this is what we have it in Italy. Parking garage should costs 20 euros por day, not 25 as they payed.Thank you againKind regardsGianmauro

Charming little tucked away gem
Took a taxi directly from the train station to the front of this hotel for about €12. Completely worth it so you don’t have to try to find it. Our host was kind, patient and thorough. The property is cute as can be, and we were very pleased with our room. It was charming, had two beds, and a perfect little kitchenette. It was quiet and perfect, just what you would expect being in the heart of old town Bergamo. A short walk to anything and everything, and you should do yourself a favor and try out this little property instead of a larger hotel. Left tooearly to have breakfast, but I’m sure it would’ve been spectacular. **Make sure to communicate with the property out of time as far as arrival timing. We did not do this ahead of time, and was unaware their messages to me were going to my spam folder box. Also used the Hotels private car service for an early airport run the next morning, and I highly recommend that young man as well.

This is a charming bed & breakfast type room in a beautiful old building right next to Piazza Vecchia in the old town. Everything is close at hand, and all the restaurants we tried were very good with friendly and professional service. As tourists we still seemed to be treated as well as locals. Casa Mario Lupo host, Gianmauro, is extremely helpful, and courteous. Our room was large and perfectly functional, with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast is simple, but wholesome and satisfying. If arriving by train take a taxi to the property, unless you are determined to save a few euros and want to try the very crowded bus and then the funicular. We confidently recommend this property to anyone visiting the delightful town of Bergamo.

The room was very spacious and comfortable. There was a kitchenette, washing machine and a good sized bathroom. Also a fan for when it is warm. We were located on the top floor but there are also rooms on the ground floor for people with mobility problems. Breakfast was ok with fruit, bread with jam or ham and cheese on another day. Tea/coffee/juice and yogurt. Very central location.

Centre of Citta Alta and very Quaint
A lovely apartment, furnished in antique style. Bedroom upstairs with 2 single beds is with very low ceilings and thin wooden floor, so any movement with accompanying kids would be very loud. Noise from apartment above also easily heard. However this is a lovely, but quite expensive (compared to say a hotel in the new town) apartment right in the heart of the old town and very eay walking distance from funicular railway stop. Host is excellent and really looks after you, with hand delivered breakfast every morning. Expect to be woken up by the church bells!!

Bergamo is a lovely town and this apartment is in the perfect, central location but cool and quiet. Breakfast in the garden was very relaxing and we were made to feel very welcome. The building and some of the furnishings are very old, but the bed is new and very comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.

Simply Marvelous and Memorable
Beautiful, comfortable and spacy apartment in classic style with full kitchen facilities and featuring a private terrace with a floral garden. Everything is very clean. The atmosphere is warm and nice . A continental breakfast is served each morning The owner is very accommodating, polite, professional and helpful, a really great host. The location is excellent, right next to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, Piazza Vecchia within the historic city walls of Bergamo’s “Citta Alta”. Everything is nearby and close, such as reasonable restaurants, wine and beer bars and interesting shops. The cable car (Funicolare Bergamo) which connects to the Bus Station to Bergamo “Citta Bassa” is just 150 meters away. Enjoyed our stay in the old town very much. Highly recommended to everyone who likes to visit Bergamo, whether for a short or longer visit.

A great B&B in the heart of the Old City.
We stayed here for two nights in June and it was a lovely bed and breakfast. The building is very old and has a great deal of character. The B&B is in an excellent situation in the heart of the old town with many sites of interest close by. We had three older children and there was plenty of room for all of us. We particularly enjoyed the garden rooftop garden where we enjoyed lunch under the vines. Gianmauro was very welcoming and helpful and told us about the history of the building. I would recommend this B&B and hope to return again.

Great location! Helpful Staff!
The location was great! Hard to find but once lost-the hotel manager came to find us and showed us where to go/park (actually got in the car with us and showed us!). It is walking distance to everything and we mainly strolled around the upper city and enjoyed atmosphere. The room was very clean, but a bit old and worn, but since it was only used to sleep and shower in-it was fine. The 'breakfast included' consisted of ONE hard boiled egg, A cup of coffee, and ONE roll with some delicious jam. Not very filling at all, but there are pastry shops all around so we grabbed something more filling later that morning. Other than not being impressed with the room and breakfast, the overall experience was great. we had a wonderful time and the hotel manager was very pleasant and helpful. He offered us maps and insights about the area. He also allowed us to store our luggage and leave our car parked in the city after we had checked out (we didnt want to leave the area until later that day).
