I was in Bergamo for three nights on the way back from an Erasmus project in Naples and went north thinking it would be cooler than spending time in Naples - unfortunately I was wrong about that! Despite the heat Bergamo was a lovely city to visit, relatively quiet, wonderful views (at the expense of being hilly which is a trial in the heat), with masses of history, and the Antica Dimora fitted right into the experience. The Antica Dimora is not actually in the old city but in one of the old city's suburbs. This should not make you think it is new - the street is still around 500 years old, they had suburbs outside the city walls in the Renaissance too! And although the ambience of the B&B was not quite that old (more like 18th Century) for a lover of history who does not have a vast budget this was pretty much perfect for me.
Check in and out was very simply and straightforward. The room was big, clean and comfortable, and had air conditioning - being a thick walled old building did not get too hot while the street was quiet enough that I could leave the window open overnight without noise being an issue. Breakfast was decent and Matteo was nice, courteous and spoke good English. I would certainly stay at the Antica Dimora if I am to visit Bergamo again.
