Set on a hillside, with stunning views across the valley, Dimora Della Donnole offered its guests a perfect opportunity to spend time in the Italian countryside. This 16th century villa was lovingly restored into spacious apartments, with a modern ensuite and comfortable bed. Greta and her family were generous hosts, offering all manner of assistance and an indulgent breakfast, served on the terrace. With onsite parking, we opted to walk the almost 3km to Bergamo’s Old Town. Here we found the most beautiful architecture, Roman ruins and three incredible churches to explore, along with dozens of restaurants.

First thing I liked was that Greta was amazing. Our communication before and during our staying was above and beyond. The place was so clean and beatiful, we enjoy staying there so much. It was only few minutes walking from the old city and from really good restaurants. My kids loved staying there, and the breakfast was exactly what we needed. Long story short, we enjoyed the place and for sure we will arrive again.

That we did'nt stayed longer.

Excellent stay in great location, relatively close walking distance to old town if you do not have a car, Delicious breakfast served daily on the terrace, from where we could admiring the wonderful view of the surroundings Very comfortable rooms fully equipped with all facilities, Greta and the family are very friendly and helpful, so they are happy to help with advice on local attractions and even give you a lift if you need transport to Bergamo Old Town, Their permanent contact with the guest assures you are not abandoned nor alone in case of problems or queries Thank you very much ! We'd like to return to this castle of rest in the future.

I will consider renting a car next time because I really prefer Greta (our host) to drive us if necessary on these unique Italian narrow roads then driving by myself :-) and you may then avoid having problems with finding parking spots in Bergamo

My stay was amazing, the Green suite that I booked is even more beautiful than the pictures, it was larger than I expected. The view is wonderful from all of the windows, in front with the mountains, and on the side with the garden. I enjoyed the silence, you could hear the birds singing, which was very relaxing. Greta is a wonderful host, the breakfast that she prepared every morning was delicious and everything that you might need. I loved in particular the cakes that she makes, I will remember fondly the "crostata", a jam pie, that she made fresh every morning. The area is beautiful and very safe, the road to the Citta Alta is very easy to walk on foot, and the sceneries are wonderful. I definitelly recommend the place, and I would return for sure. P.S Since you are in the area, go to the San Pellegrino terme spa, you will not regret!

We arrived late due to our flight. When we arrived we were met with a friendly face who showed us our room. The room was for our family of 5 which we always struggle to find was set out perfectly. Our three children in one side and myself and husband in the other. It was huge and bathroom was a great size too. The view from our room was stunning and breakfast was delicious (we were well fed for our onward journey). The owner even took us to the bus stop.

Nothing at all

It’s an ancient beautiful, cozy house in a wonderful location up on the hillside. The view from the balcony is breathtaking! The apartment is very clean and well equipped. You can feel yourself like a part of great history in this house. Greta, the owner of the house, and her husband were so hospitable, sweet and helpful that we dream of returning to this wonderful house again someday. Thank you very much for our unforgettable stay!

The property was beautiful! It is located on the hillside overlooking The lower portion of Bergamo and is just a 10 minute walk into the upper and older portion of Bergamo. I loved that the property had the feeling that it was isolated in the country yet was only a minutes walk to the city center. There was also a place to park the car which is a rare find along the Bergamo hillside. The property had a peaceful and nurturing energetic that was complimented by the caring and attention to detail offered by Greta, the hostess.

There was nothing not to like about the property.

I think it was the most amazing spot you could find , the house had a nice feel and loads of space in terms of the room size . The management super friendly ! And made the best pancake ! I really loved the stay and had memorable time

Over all was all good , maybe some slippers not to walk bare feet in the room

This beautiful spacious room on the first floor of a lovely old house has fabulous views from its balcony over Bergamo Basso, the plain and surrounding hills. Elegant furniture, modern facilities, lots of room for clothes, lots of hangers!!! breakfast was amazing on the terrace overlooking the view, cold meats, cheese, tomatoes, eggs, juice, fruit salad, yoghurt, and a personal tray of pastries, croissants, tarts, cakes. Greta and her family were exceptionally helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble. We are not young so it was great to be offered help with taking luggage from room to car. Greta recommended and booked lovely local restaurants for us, one Trattoria full of locals and one fine dining, both only 15 minutes walk, almost all on level ground round the contours of the hill. Although we were only 20 minutes from Bergamo Alto, the walks were between lovely gardens in a rural setting. Bergamo Alto is a real treat too. We look the funicular to the Castello and walked all through the antique centre but hope to return to see more.

All good

I had an amazing time here! The hosts are incredibly friendly and wonderful people. The house itself is beautiful, as are the rooms. Very charming and felt like home! It’s in a great location, close enough to the old town to walk, but far enough that you’re away from the more crowded areas and closer to nature. Some great trails nearby as well! The breakfast was amazing as well, on top of the cheeses, vegetables, and various meats, they were very accommodating and also had gluten free muffins, bread, and other snacks for me. Truly wonderful, I hope to come back soon with my family!
