Relais San Vigilio al Castello  

Perched on San Vigilio hill above Bergamo’s Città Alta, this 4-star hotel sits inside a provincial park just steps from San Vigilio Castle and a short walk to the Funicolare San Vigilio. Bergamo Botanical Garden, Piazza Vecchia and the university are all within easy walking distance. Bergamo Orio al Serio airport is the closest gateway (around 15 km).

A small, converted-historical property with just nine air-conditioned rooms—intimate and characterful rather than cookie-cutter. Rooms include minibars, flat-screen TVs, safes and desks; bathrooms offer bathtubs or showers, complimentary toiletries and bathrobes. Public spaces nod to the building’s past with a lobby fireplace and terrace overlooking the park and town.

Rent bikes to explore the hill, sip a drink by the fireplace, or take in views from the terrace and garden. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Concierge and tour desk can help plan local walks and funicular rides. Room service is available for limited hours.

Practical services for travelers include dry cleaning and laundry, luggage storage and a 24-hour front desk. Roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge) and onsite self-parking (charges apply) are available.

On-site restaurant, coffee shop/café and a bar/lounge keep mornings and evenings covered. A complimentary cooked-to-order/buffet breakfast is served daily, and light snacks and drinks are available throughout the day.
