A beautiful and peaceful place full of history. The apartment (located in the old abbey of the church) was tastefully decorated, very clean, and had everything we needed. Surrounded by vineyards on a hill, it’s the perfect spot to relax. The church bells ring gently from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., adding to the calm atmosphere. The medieval church next door is serene and ideal for a quiet reflection. Located along biking and hiking trails. It is situated less than 10 min by car from various shops. I was able to park along the main road in designated areas for free about 1 min walk from the church. Highly recommended for a break from the city.

Charming and comfortable apartment with all modern amenities in a beautiful historical setting. Wonderful rural scenery full of natural scents and roaming views from the Alps to Milan. Very friendly and helpful hosts!

I couldn't get the log fire started!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Property was better than we expected and it snowed on one morning which was a bonus as we never see snow. Host was very welcoming and eager to assist.

I loved everything about this place. The location and the apartment are very special - you have to see it to believe it. I highly recommend it!

Good to keep in mind that there is only one separated bedroom (the other beds are on a mezzanine, so not separated from the living room and kitchen). Some of the windows do not have any curtains (which can be a bit awkward if a group of tourists arrive). I would have expected that at least a few coffee cups would have been provided as a curtesy, but that is not the case. So make sure to go to a supermarket yourself before going here and buy some Nespresso cups (small size).

Beautiful and unique. Instead of having an apartment as a base, then go out for sightseeing, here the apartment itself is the sight. The abbey and church are historically very interesting (dating back to 1080) and contain many frescos still. The surroundings are very pretty with the mountains and wineranks. The apartment is modernised in a tasteful way with respect for the historical elements. Overall lovely stay!

Could have had better communication on where to park. That was frustrating. Also, unusually warm while we were there so apartment was warm. Missed having air conditioning.

Very cool place. Unique and unlike any other place we stayed. Very spacious and clean.

Wow!, it was an experience, literally living inside a monastery. A charming residence that feels like a castle. Thank you for a perfect stay, we will definitely be back!

Everything was great.

The accommodation is excellent and much better than expected, with everything you may need for a pleasant stay. The location is excellent, for those looking for peace, with a note that because of the church bells, it is difficult to sleep longer than 7.30-8 am :).

A brief issue with the entry code resolved by phoning the owner direct.

What a great opportunity to experience.Just a touch of life in a medieval abbey. Some very nice updates for comfort.

The unevenness of the floor can be a problem for elderly people. We missed the welcome treats.

The flat is comfortable and elegant in a charming neighbourhood full of nature and hiking trails

all OK

This was a dream - accommodation in an old monastery. Just perfect - solitude, nature and peace. Yes - the bells ring regularly, but that's part of it. The accommodation is very spacious, perfectly furnished, we didn't miss anything. There was no one in the entire building - only occasionally a few tourists came to look. The kitchen was perfectly furnished, the bedroom had comfortable furniture - we slept great. Of course you need a car, parking nearby was not a problem. Bergamo can be reached in approx. 1/2 hour, Lago di Como approx. 1 hour, Lago Maggiore approx. 1.5-2 hours. Everything is not so far - but the road is slow :-) It was great and we would love to come back. Thank you very much.

The wifi became very slow about 23 o’clock in the evening (don’t know if our teenagers used up the internet) which was unfortunate because we are dependent on a good internet connection for our diabetic daughter’s glucose sensor and insulin pump. There was no mobile internet connection at the apartment, but 50m down the street.

It was clean, homey and cozy. Had all of equipment we needed, including a washing machine. A big master bedroom and a loft with beds for our three children. Parking space near the apartment. A nice medieval atmosphere and a silent neighbourhood (just cozy with the church bells). We recommend and would stay here again.

Amazing place, historic location, tastefully prepared interior that met our expectations perfectly. We arrived in the middle of the night, nevertheless the Host was exemplary in helping us with our accommodation. The apartment is perfectly equipped and adapted to the users. You can feel the history of the place and the taste of the Owner.

A microwave would have been nice.

More than a stay, it was an unforgettable experience to stay at this place. It is located on top of a hill, with an incredible view from the garden, and with many possibilities for trails and walks nearby. We easily drove from there to Milan, Bergamo and lake Como. Absolutely serene and perfect location, the apartment is beautifully decorated, and the beds and blankets were so comfortable I didn't want to leave. The church bell at 7 am and 9 pm was a bit annoying, but we were located literally close to the church, so you can't complain about that because it's an easily dismissed detail among so many positive points.

Absolutely nothing!!!!!

If there was a rating higher than 10 I would give it!!!! Al Chiostro is exceptional value for money and is absolutely stunning. James has done a wonderful job with this accommodation as it has everything you need. Free parking easy outside. Great to have a washing machine as well! Great position to visit Bergamo, Milan and Lake Como and beautiful views. Such a memorable stay and even the church bells were great and didn't bother us. Thank you for a memorable stay 💞💞💞

Nothing to point. Simply an amazing stay.

The location is amazing. Just in the cloisters of an old church, the surroundings are amazing.
