Bed and Breakfast Il Ciliegio - Bergamo

10

My son (who is 15) and myself can only highly recommend this B&B. The standard of cleaniness is excellent (and I'm fussy), the room was tastefully furnished, the breakfast was varied with fresh bread and fruit. Our host helped in making sure that during our very short stay we visited the major historical sites within historical Bergamo, ready with street map and guidebook. The area is very safe and the B&B is very conveniently located near bus stops both to the historical city of Bergamo and the modern city of Bergamo.The B&B offers airport transfer at a very competitive price. We strongly hope to return and intend to stay a bit longer.

We have been very satisfied with everything at il cillegio. It´s really near the old town, with very good sight and possibilities to go by bus. The informations about the possibilities surround our place, were very helpful. We really felt like guests in that house. 100% recommandable :-)

My husband and I were most impressed with the cleanliness and quality of the room. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice, well presented. The owner was very conscientious and available. He also gave us a guide book of Bergamo and took the time to explain important aspects of the city.

9.4

The owner of Il Ciliegio was extremely service-oriented and with good language skills. He came and picked us up at the airport although we landed late that evening, he showed us around the primary sights in Bergamo, he gave us tips of what to do on our trip. By far the best service I have experienced on our stays in Italy ever! Very good! I recommend Il Ciliegio.

Nous etions tres content avec notre visite a Bergame et notre choix de B&B. La chambre etait tres comfortable, spaciouse, calm et super propre. Aussi, c'etait facile pour visiter Citte Alta a pie de l'hebergement (vers 20 minutes a pie) et M. Filippo a nous donne quelques bonnes suggestions pour profiter bien de notre visite. Nous recommendons Il Ciliegio.

BB molt agradable per conèixer Bergamo. Molt trànquil, no és el que es diu centric, però està molt ben comunicat amb busos, que per cert són molt econòmics. A peu tampoc és lluny, una passejada d'un quart d'hora. El propietari dóna molt bons consells i t'ajuda amb tot el que pot. Esmorzar molt complert.

Wir besuchten Bergamo für ein langes Wochenende. Die Unterkunft war sehr schön, äußerst liebevoll gestaltet und - vor allem - sehr sauber. Der Eigentümer Filippo bot viele Tipps fürs Sightseeing und ein phantastisches Frühstück, mit allem was man sich nur wünscht! Etwas Besseres kann man bei B & B nicht bekommen! Thanks Filippo, we will come back again!

Important to note: does not accept credit/debit cards. Set back from main road and access is down path through security gate -make sure you have contact phone number if arriving late to gain access. Access to property is up flight of stairs and all bedrooms are upstairs with no lift. In all other respects a very clean and pleasant B&B for overnight stay in Bergamo.

We flew into Bergamo Airport late onto the evening and didn’t want to trek to Milan so we decided to stay at Il Ciliegio. Our Host, Filippo was a real Gentleman and we enjoyed the stay so much we actually came back from Milan a day early so we could stay again and explore Bergamo. The Food at breakfast was varied, fresh and very well presented. The Hotel rooms are clinically clean (something that my wife was very happy about) and well appointed with lovely bathrooms. I would highly recommend the Pick up and drop off service that allowed us to leave our bags at the hotel and then not have to worry about getting a bus or taxi to the Airport. Filippo has a wonderful local knowledge and is very passionate about the region, he loaned us a tour guide and pointed us in the direction of the old City and the best restaurants in the area. He has a supply of tickets for the very good bus service and again provided us with all the information we would need to make our stay very enjoyable. I will definitely be returning to Il Ciliegio next year and use this friendly Hotel as a base to explore this wonderful region. Milan is nice but it would be a mistake not to stay in lovely Bergamo and explore its stunning sights. Thanks Filippo for a wonderful stay Eric and Caron Carter

A very nice welcome. Our host gave us all the information that could help us to make the most of our stay in Bergamo.He took time for exchanges with his guests. Really nice rooms - great, varied breakfast.

The B&B has been a beautiful experience. Very clean and a rich and nice breakfast too. Mr. Filippo was very helpful in arranging my staying here, even if for just a night. He also suggested some nice places in the B&B nearby. It's a quiet and nice place to stay, near natural and historical areas, and the b&b is nice and well cared. Would suggest this place.

We decided on a short stay in Bergamo as it was close to the airport we were to fly back from. For this Il Ciliegio was excellent. The owner, Mr Cararra, was extremely helpful. He advised in detail on places to visit and food to eat. He booked a table at a local restaurant for us following our late afternoon arrival and arranged transport to the airport when we left. The only reason we did not give the hotel surroundings full marks is that some may find Il Ciliegio less convenient as it is a bus or taxi ride from the railway station, we did not find this to be much of a problem. This was our first visit to Bergamo and we will come here again, possibly as a starting point for another touring holiday. Make sure you visit Citta Alta, the old city, and get a tourist travel pass (again arranged by Mr Cararra) costing only €2.50 and allowing travel all day on buses and the funicular.

Great Bed&Breakfast and very good touristic information provided by the owner (thanks again Filipo). Rooms and breakfast are perfect. Nice environment (25 minutes walking from center of the village). Bergamo old is beautiful and higly recommended.

9.9

Profesional approach yet friendly atmosphere in the hotel. Rooms are very nice decorated in an old fashion way. Free wi-fi.

8.5

Perfect B&B for all those who prefer a quiet and comfortable place to stay over some crowded place in the center. We had some difficulties to find the place, you definitely need a map of Bergamo, not only some web-routeplanner-descriptions. Once there you meet the owner who cares for all kinds of questions and needs (take-away-pizza at 11 p.m.? Fillippo will manage somehow!). A good place to stay with children (our 4-year-old son loved the spacious triple-room and the playground downstairs. The distance to the citta alta is manageable by feet (approx. 25 min., mainly because of the altitude), but not really nice, italian roads lack of real space for pedestrians and the drivers drive,- well, "italianlike". Better take the bus or go by car.

8.8

We had a nice stay. Good value for money. Friendly owner. Parking available on the property.

9.1

We stayed in Bergamo for 3 nights. Mr. Filippo Carrara did his best to make our stay a pleasant one and he gave us lot of relevant information beside being a nice person.

The B&B is in a very quite neighbourdhood, 30 minutes walking from the 'cittá alta'. It's really clean and silent, with spacious and beautiful rooms. The breakfast was great and the owner is a very kind and considerate man, willing of helping his guests.
