Palazzo Salvecchio is a guest house located in the historic centre of Bergamo Alta, just 300 metres from the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and 400 metres from the Duomo.
The property has an interior garden and offers two types of accommodation: the Double Room with Garden View, at 25 sqm, and the Junior Suite at 35 sqm, the latter organised with a separate living area and overlooking the palace’s inner courtyard. All units are air-conditioned, soundproofed and equipped with a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer and courtesy set, as well as a minibar, coffee machine and safe.
WiFi is free throughout the property, while private parking is available for an additional cost; an airport shuttle to Orio al Serio Airport, about 8 km away, can also be arranged on request. Pets are welcome, with a possible extra charge. Thanks to its central location just steps from Piazza Vecchia, Cappella Colleoni and Accademia Carrara, Palazzo Salvecchio is especially popular with couples, who have rewarded its location with a score of 9.8.
Palazzo Salvecchio offers two room types, both designed for a comfortable stay in the heart of Bergamo Alta. The Double Room with Garden View, at 25 sqm, overlooks the property’s inner greenery, while the Junior Suite, larger at 35 sqm, is organised with a living area separate from the bedroom and opens onto a view of the palace’s inner courtyard.
Both options come with air conditioning, soundproofing, a private bathroom with shower and courtesy set, a minibar, coffee machine and safe. The Junior Suite adds an independent living space, ideal for those who want more freedom of movement during their stay, while the double room remains the more intimate choice for a couple’s stay.
The Double Room with Garden View covers 25 sqm and offers a direct view of the property’s garden, a detail that sets it apart from the Junior Suite, which instead overlooks the inner courtyard. Featuring a large double bed, air conditioning and soundproofed walls, it offers a private bathroom with shower, courtesy set and hairdryer, as well as a minibar and coffee machine.
Larger than the double room at 35 sqm, the Junior Suite is the only accommodation in the property organised with a living area separate from the bedroom, furnished with a desk and a relaxation corner. The view opens onto the historic palace’s inner courtyard. The extra-large double bed is paired with a private en-suite bathroom with shower, while a minibar, coffee machine and safe are also provided.
Palazzo Salvecchio offers guests an inner garden, a rare feature in the historic centre of Bergamo Alta, as well as private and express check-in and check-out that simplifies arrival and departure. An airport shuttle to Orio al Serio Airport can be arranged on request, while paid parking is available in the immediate vicinity.
Security is ensured by CCTV in common areas, key access, a safe and fire extinguishers, while the entire property is non-smoking and offers allergy-free and soundproofed rooms.

Palazzo Salvecchio is located in the heart of Bergamo Alta, the medieval and Renaissance part of the city enclosed by the Venetian Walls. The district, closed to traffic in its oldest areas, is made up of stone alleys, historic shops and noble palaces, offering an intimate atmosphere that contrasts with the modern Bergamo of the lower town.
The lower funicular station is just 300 metres away, while the upper station, leading to the San Vigilio hill, is about 350 metres away: a convenient way to move between the two levels of the city without tackling the slopes on foot. Bergamo-Orio al Serio Airport is about 8 km away, with a shuttle available on request from the property, while Milan is connected by train in just over an hour from Bergamo’s central station, in the lower town.
Just steps from the entrance are Piazza Vecchia, described by Le Corbusier as the most beautiful square in Europe, the Duomo and the Cappella Colleoni, a Renaissance masterpiece by Sanmicheli. Art lovers can walk to the Accademia Carrara, one of Lombardy’s most important art galleries, while music lovers will find the Teatro Donizetti, dedicated to the Bergamo-born composer. In summer, the Venetian walls offer panoramic walks over the plain, while in winter Christmas markets bring the streets of the historic centre to life.
