Belle Arti is a guest house located on the second floor of a historic building in central Bergamo, just 150 metres from the Accademia Carrara Art Gallery and the GAMEC Museum.
The property offers four types of accommodation, from the 20 sqm double/twin room up to the three-bedroom apartment for large groups, as well as a triple room and a superior version with single beds. All rooms feature exposed wooden beam ceilings, simple furnishings, air conditioning and a private bathroom, while the apartment has its own kitchen and independent entrance.
Bergamo’s Città Alta (Upper Town) is 1.5 km away, the railway station is 2 km away, and Orio al Serio Airport is about a 20-minute drive. WiFi is free in all common areas. Belle Arti is well suited to those visiting Bergamo for cultural reasons or to couples, who particularly praise the comfort of the beds and the central location, rated very highly by guests who have stayed at the property.
The four accommodation types at Belle Arti occupy the second floor of a period building and share exposed wooden beam ceilings, air conditioning and parquet or tiled floors. Each room has a private bathroom with shower, bidet and toiletries, as well as a flat-screen TV and a wardrobe.
The Double/Twin Room, at 20 sqm, is the most compact and suited to couples; the Superior, at 25 sqm, offers the same bed flexibility with a few extra square metres. The Triple Room, at 35 sqm, can accommodate up to three people with alternative single or double bed configurations. For larger groups, the 3-Bedroom Apartment, at 100 sqm, has an independent entrance, its own kitchen with dishwasher, a living area and three private bathrooms, for up to seven guests.
The Double/Twin Room is the most compact solution at Belle Arti, with 20 air-conditioned sqm and a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer. The simple furnishings, parquet and tiled flooring reflect the historic character of the building, while the flat-screen TV completes the amenities for an essential stay.
At 35 sqm, the Triple Room is the largest of the standard solutions at Belle Arti and allows guests to choose between three single beds or a combination including a double bed, ideal for families or small groups. The private bathroom with shower and bidet, heating and parquet flooring complete a room designed for those who need more space.
The Superior version offers 5 sqm more than the standard double/twin room, with the same bed configuration flexibility but more breathing space. Air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and complimentary bathroom toiletries make this room a more comfortable choice for those seeking a little extra comfort without giving up the property’s central location.
The only multi-bedroom solution at the property, the 100 sqm apartment has an independent entrance, three bedrooms with as many private bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, oven and microwave. The living area with dining space makes it the ideal option for large families or groups of friends who want to share common spaces while maintaining their privacy.
Belle Arti offers air-conditioned rooms with private bathroom, shower, bidet and toiletries, hairdryer and bed linen included in every room. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, while rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV and power outlets near the bed.
For those arriving by car, the property offers an electric vehicle charging station, while those travelling by plane can rely on an airport shuttle service on request. The common areas are entirely non-smoking, with parquet or tiled flooring and heating in every season.
It should be noted that the historic building spans several floors accessible only by stairs, with no lift: a detail worth considering for those travelling with heavy luggage or with difficulty climbing stairs.
B&B Belle Arti is located on Via San Tomaso, one of the liveliest streets in Bergamo Bassa (Lower Town), halfway between the historic centre and the Città Alta.
