Al San Lorenzo is a guest house located on the first floor of a historic building in the heart of Bergamo Alta, just 100 metres from the Cappella Colleoni and a short walk from Piazza Vecchia.
The property is designed for those who want to experience the city’s historic centre without giving up essential comforts: the rooms are air-conditioned, equipped with a flat-screen TV and private bathroom with toiletries and hairdryer, some with views over the city rooftops or the internal courtyard. Free WiFi is available throughout the building, and pets are allowed with no extra charge.
The location is one of the most appreciated features: the Duomo, the Baptistery and the Palazzo della Ragione are just a few dozen metres away, while the Donizetti Theatre can be reached with a walk of around 1.1 km. The funicular to Città Alta is 150 metres away, convenient for those arriving from the lower part of the city. Al San Lorenzo is a fitting choice for couples and travellers seeking an authentic stay among the cobbled streets of Bergamo’s historic centre, away from traffic but close to everything.
Al San Lorenzo offers four room types, all with private bathroom, air conditioning and flat-screen TV, set on the first floor of a historic building in the heart of Bergamo Alta. Room sizes range from 14 to 21 square metres, and most rooms enjoy views over the city or the building’s internal courtyard.
The Double/Twin Room offers the flexibility of choosing between an extra-large double bed or two single beds, while the Large Double Room, the most spacious at 21 sqm, has a balcony and an additional sofa bed, ideal for those travelling in three. The two more intimate Double Rooms, each 14 sqm, are perfect for couples’ stays, with a tea and coffee set in the room.
The Double/Twin Room with Private Bathroom is the most flexible in the property: you can choose between an extra-large double bed or two single beds combined with a large double bed, ideal for groups of friends or families who prefer to sleep separately. The 15 sqm room enjoys city views and has a private bathroom with toiletries, shower, bidet and hairdryer, plus air conditioning and a flat-screen TV.
More intimate than the property’s other double rooms, this 14 sqm room offers a large double bed and city views. The private bathroom has a shower, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries, while the room also features a welcome chocolate, a detail that sets it apart from the other room types.
This is the largest room in the property, with 21 sqm of space and the only one with a balcony overlooking the city. The large double bed is paired with a sofa bed, making it suitable for those travelling in three. The private bathroom has a shower, and the room includes a tea and coffee making set.
Almost identical in size to the Double Room with Private Bathroom on the first floor, this 14 sqm room stands out for its view of the building’s internal courtyard, quieter than those facing the city. The large double bed is complemented by a tea and coffee set in the room, and the private bathroom has a shower and hairdryer.
Al San Lorenzo offers free WiFi throughout the building and garage parking for those arriving by car in the historic centre. The rooms are air-conditioned, with parquet floors and heating, and the property is entirely non-smoking.
General facilities include a terrace with outdoor furniture, daily housekeeping, private and express check-in and check-out, and family rooms available. Security is ensured by CCTV outside the property, a smoke alarm and a security alarm, while guests with specific needs can rely on allergy-free options.

The building housing the property is just 40 metres from Piazza Vecchia, the city’s Renaissance square designed by Sansovino, and 50 metres from the Palazzo della Ragione. The area, pedestrian along most of its streets, is among the liveliest in the centre, with coffee houses and restaurants literally a few steps away: the Gombito restaurant and La Piadella are just 10 metres from the entrance door.

Bergamo-Orio al Serio Airport, the closest one, is about 3.9 km away, while Milan Linate is 40 km away. The Donizetti Theatre is 1.1 km away and the Atleti Azzurri d’Italia Stadium 1.4 km, both reachable with a walk through the historic centre or with public transport heading down to the lower town.
Those staying here can spend their days visiting the Duomo and the Baptistery, 100 metres away, or the Rocca, which houses a museum dedicated to the city’s history, 200 metres away.

In summer the Venetian walls and gardens offer scenic walks over the plain, while in winter Christmas markets bring Piazza Vecchia and the streets of the centre to life.
