For someone who loves the shine of an ancient city so much, it's almost a crime not to stop by Bergamo, which was why I insisted staying here for a night before crossing the border into Switzerland. When it comes to discovering Bergamo, there's no better place to start than Città Alta (Upper Town), the historic centre of the city. There are a number of interesting lodging options around here but few can match the stylish boutique hotel GombitHotel.
Built right next to a 13th-century watchtower, Torre del Gombito (Tower of Gombito), that's where the name of the hotel came from.
And yes, this thirteen-room gem is a member of Design Hotels.
Behind the medieval walls is a warm and inviting atmosphere which is really perfect for the family.
Obviously, they know every furniture matters when you have a spacious guest room like this one. You can tell there're a lot of thoughts put into it to make this almost like furniture show room.
The bathroom has all the modern design you would like to see from your home away from home.
It's time for me to take a quick shower before dinner!
We had to go down a couple of staircases to reach the elevator and this was what we saw from the backdrop. The back side of the apartment next door. Another interesting experience.
The breakfast hall is a pretty spacious one considering there're only 13 rooms in the premise.
They have everything from cured meat, boiled egg to cheese, bread and fruit. Nothing luxurious but enough to get you through the morning.
I got myself a croissant, boiled egg, some fruit and juice.
The thing about staying in the Old Town is always trouble with parking. GombitHotel does not have its own parking but they have a deal with a private garbage which is only a 5-minute walk away.
Bergamo is such an amazing city that 24 hours are not nearly enough to experience its shine. It's likely going to take another trip to fully appreciate what this ancient city has to offer.
