Casa Mario Lupo - Apartments and Rooms

What a fantastic place to stay in Bergamo. You are literally next door to the cathedral and the amazing basilica di Santa Maria. The most impressive church I have ever visited. Accommodation was brilliant with a real historic feeling. The breakfast was plentiful and very fresh. Provides a great start to the day. Gian the host and owner was exceptional and could not be any more helpful and knowledgeable. A great few days stay and although our visit to Bergamo was in relation to football I would without doubt visit the city again and book here as well.

Have just come back from 4 nights at Casa Mario Lupo. This is a great place to stay right in the old town of Bergamo. The accommodation is brilliant - room very spacious and very clean. We stayed in June with outside temperatures exceeding 30oC but room was always cool. You also have access to a nice roof top terrace which is great place to relax. It is located right in the centre of Citta Alta just of the main street, Via Gombito, but it is very quiet. The owner, Gianmoura, is brilliant - very friendly and helpful. If you are planning to visit Bergamo I would definitely recommend staying here.

We stayed at the Mario Lupo for three nights . The hotel is wonderfully located in the heart of the Citta Alta . The rooms are set in an 18th century building and are clean and well equipped . The owner , Gianmoura is so attentive and helpful. He even arranged our transport to and from the airport - and our return was at 4:30am ! We certainly recommend this accommodation for a stay in the truly wonderful city of Bergamo

We recently returned from spending a very enjoyable week at Casa Mario Lupa. The building is a typical medieval house in the small medieval city of Bergamo run by Gianmauro and his wife. The rooms are very large and the bed and pillows are extremely comfortable even for my very fussy husband! We had a lounge with a TV, kitchen area, shower room and separate bedroom which suited us very much as it meant that I could sleep while my husband stayed up later. There are very loud bells from the cathedral nearby which start at 7.30am with the last ones at 10pm. They didn't bother us at all as we felt they added to the atmosphere and acted as our alarm clock in the mornings! Breakfast consisted of tea or coffee, fruit juice, fruit and delicious bread rolls. The house is in a small quiet street near the restaurants, coffee shops, and venicular which takes you down to lower Bergamo. There is also a regular number 1 bus that will take you to the airport and the train station where you can get cheap train travel to Milan - one hour, Venice -3 hours, Verona and Lake Garda etc. Gianmauro is a wonderful host, very friendly is very helpful and has a great deal of knowledge of the area. He will also meet and return you to the airport if you don't want to take the bus. All in all a perfect holiday! Thank you Gian PS just one small suggestion, a couple of long life capsules of milk and some teabags or coffee upon arrival would be most welcome. Luckily we found the minimarket just as it was closing up for the day!

Just had a really good stay in a room in this lovely old building. It  is perfectly situated in  Citta Alta and very central to the bars , restaurants and  shops. It is very near  Cappa Colleni ( rub the shiny bit on the gate for good luck, but maybe check out what the symbol is first !! ) and the wonderful Basilica di Maria Maggiore. Funicular is near by too. Gianmauro is a perfect, gentle and friendly host who communicated promptly with me prior to our stay . He also ensured that we were able to get to the railway station in time for our train to Milan Garibaldi .
