B&B I Ghiri

The building is 200 years old, beautiful, and charming. Parking at the gate is included. From the gate to the building is a 2 story climb up stone steps and an additional inside staircase to the floor with the rooms. Bathrooms are not en suite but private. There is no air conditioning. The owner lives in the floor below and is very friendly. She provides a rediculously generous breakfast. The walk into town is an easy 500 meters.

The historical status of the building limits what upgrades can be undertaken by the owner. It would be nice to have bathrooms en suite but this would require considerable remodeling. It is a charming old stone building which is what many visitors come to Italy for. Best to leave it as it is and enjoy it for what it is.

La sig.ra Cristina ci ha accolto nella sua bellissima casa con tanta ospitalità e dedizione. Massima accuratezza nei dettagli, nella pulizia e nel metterci a nostro agio. La location è molto bella, a pochi passi dal centro ma al contempo in un angolo silenzioso in mezzo alla natura. Cosa non scontata, la possibilità di parcheggiare gratuitamente la macchina e la cortesia di averci fatto lasciare la macchina (il costo dei parcheggi a Bergamo Alta è molto alto) anche dopo il check out. La colazione abbondante è preparata dalla signora con la possibilità di scegliere tra dolce e salato. Dolci fatti in casa e frutta fresca. È stato un graditissimo soggiorno e ci ritorneremo molto volentieri. Complimenti Cristina!

The historical building, the owner Cristina is as lovely as one can be, the breakfast, the big and bright room.

The I Ghiri is perfectly located 10-12 min walk from Bergamo’s old city (Citta Alta). They have guest parking, so there is no need to drive around. The room was very comfortable, and while bathroom/shower are not en-suite, there was no issue. The hostess Christina is kind and helpful. Prepare for some stairs from the road to the house and indoors. Good breakfast was served with plenty of options. Good value for money.
