Relais San Vigilio al Castello

our room was amazing! great location, fabulous setting with fabulous outside space, friendly staff, amazing food. I would highly recommend.

nothing at all

Breakfast was great. Made to order. Chef outstanding. Grounds are beautiful and the views spectacular. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating

Not the hotel’s fault but taxis are hard to get on Sunday afternoons, so we were unsure of how to get to the hotel from the train station. Fortunately you can take the #1 bus from the station to the funicular for 1.5 euros! Or arrange transport in advance.

The views over the city were stunning and staying up in this part of town above the Citia Alta felt very exclusive. The staff at the hotel were very helpful and hospitable and the breakfast was the best we had after a month of travelling in Europe.

No fitness facilities

everything! beautiful place and the staff could not have been friendlier or more professional. So helpful - really sublime service

not something I didn't like but would loved to have tried the restaurant! next time...

The hotel has a 5 Star feeling. An outstanding bar area with a spectacular view, a delicious breakfast made to order, and the grounds are lovely. We wished we could have stayed longer. It is somewhat treacherous to drive, as the hotel is perched on the top of the hill which is accessed by a narrow road. A cab or smaller car is recommended. There is an outstanding restaurant down the street 1-2 minutes away. The Funicular is likewise only steps away to take one to the Citi Alta. Don't miss walking up to the park that is just above the hotel. The service from everyone at the hotel was first rate. We will be back.

The hotel's restaurant in the evenings, although situated in a beautiful garden with excellent service, was too expensive, and the food, although creatively prepared and presented, was not all that good. We had a much better meal and the restaurant down the street for 1/3 the price.

Lovey hotel friendly helpful staff would most certainly return

Not an actual bar but well looked after with drinks

Breakfast!!!

The hotel exceeded our expectations and was excellent value for a couple. The room was large, cool, and well designed (plenty of space for luggage). The bathroom was also generous and very modern, with derssing gowns and slippers provided. The highlight though was the gardens which were stunning and we spent several hours relaxing and reading in various spots enjoying the landscaping and the views over Bergamo! The staff were incredibly very friendly and attentive, it was easy to order drinks or snacks on the terrace, or in the garden area with them. We also ate twice at the restaurant, which was excellent and very reaonably priced. We would return here in a heartbeat!

Difficult to find something not to like! If being very nitpicky, I would say the bed could be a little bigger (as the room was very large), and it would be nice to have a proper coffee machine in the room.

Wow we were so pleased with our stay at Relais San Vigilio al Castello! It is an absolutely unique hotel by the castle at the very top of old town of Bergamo. Breathtaking views from the rooms, and from their terraces and patio. Clear views of northern Italy — the alps, and views to Milan in the south east — accompany Breakfast, drinks, dinner. Restaurant on property is excellent, had outstanding meal. Rooms was unique but very comfortable with our own private balcony. Staff was very helpful at all times.

Driving directions were hard to follow — it was a bit hard to find because GPS doesn’t work and we had a small map on our phones — recommend printing out the map and reviewing that carefully before trying to drive it.

Lovely hotel and people - only thing was when we arrived we were confused about where to go! With a car and luggage, you need to enter at garage level and make your way up in the lift. All was well in the end but something to watch out for on your arrival.

Everything - really good restaurant, and service. Loved the historic building, the views over Bergamo and the plain; superb garden space. Even driving up small medieval, narrow streets was a great experience!
