Dimore Caliandro

We stayed for one night in November 2017. The photos online were accurate, and the residential area was quiet, with free street parking on a cul-de-sac. If you drive, Google Maps gets you there, but the house has no big sign, so it can be hard to identify. We were lucky that someone on the road pointed it out. A dog is kept in its own area at the villa, and barked at us when we arrived. There are three bedrooms upstairs, plus a tiny fourth room made from what was originally a hall. The master has its own bathroom; the other three rooms share one. The bathroom is extravagant, with pink marble, a jacuzzi, and a fish tank. The jacuzzi costs extra. You need to cover the tank with a towel whenever you use the bathroom, and it's open to the stairway, so people going upstairs can see in. My husband tried to have a bath at 11pm, but the water was barely warm, if anything it was on the cold side. Our room had a queen-size bed, but the mattress dipped in the middle and made it hard not to roll toward the center. The linens and towels were clean, the pillows soft and comfortable, and the Wi-Fi was okay. The fridge is stocked with items for sale. Breakfast costs 8 euros if you message the host the night before. Checkout is at 10am. This isn't accessible for people with disabilities. There’s no lift, so you have to carry your bags up a flight of stairs, and there’s another flight from the garden to the villa.

Gabriel, the owner, is a great host. The house is fancy and the area is quiet. Best B&B I’ve ever visited.

The rooms were clean and spacious, and it was very quiet. The bathroom was huge and luxuriously furnished, with an aquarium too. Breakfast was excellent, and the timing was flexible. The innkeeper was so friendly and kind that even breakfast turned into a nice chat. You really feel at home, and I’ll definitely come back. There were two of us, and we found this B&B among the options after arriving at Bergamo airport at 11:45 PM. We called the number listed online, and even at that late hour the innkeeper agreed straight away to pick us up by car. The property is magnificent, and we didn't expect this kind of service at that price. The value and quality were really rare.

Our family stay wasn't great, though there was nothing that made the place bad. Mr. Gabriele was very kind and attentive, and even woke us in time so we wouldn't miss our flight. A very friendly man. The accommodation is simple. The room had a heater and a door to a small balcony, though the door was jammed the night we stayed. No big deal. What bothered us a little was having a shared bathroom with no toilet in the room. Other guests would often knock while we were using it, trying to come in. I'd recommend this for solo travelers.
