B&B La Villa in Seriate, near Bergamo airport
B&B La Villa is a bed and breakfast in Seriate, Lombardy, with a garden, private parking and air-conditioned rooms. It is close to Bergamo-Orio al Serio airport and the station, so it works well for people travelling for work or stopping over in Bergamo. Watch out for the bathrooms, as some rooms share them.

Where B&B La Villa is and how to get there
B&B La Villa is in Seriate, in the province of Bergamo, on Via Sottoripa. It is right in the centre, with the station very close, which makes it a practical base for anyone stopping in Bergamo without sleeping in the city itself.
Bergamo-Orio al Serio airport is 5 km away, and the Giovanni XXIII Congress Centre and the Accademia Carrara are also nearby. One guest found a taxi to the airport straight away thanks to the owner, and the B&B also offers, on request and for a fee, a shuttle service.
What the rooms and spaces at the B&B are like
The rooms at B&B La Villa in Seriate are air-conditioned, with a flat-screen TV, a terrace and free Wi-Fi. Many units give access to an equipped kitchen with fridge, microwave and coffee machine, and the bathrooms have toiletries, a hairdryer and bathrobes. Some bathrooms are shared, though.
- The garden. There is a green area, and one guest describes the B&B as big and surrounded by greenery, despite being right in the centre.
- The shared lounge and barbecue. They can be used, a nice idea for anyone staying more than one night.
- The parking. It is private and on site.
Opinions on the rooms are not all the same. Some call them spacious and welcoming, with an en-suite bathroom and a pretty covered little terrace, while others speak of small rooms that are clean and well kept.
What guests say about B&B La Villa
The Google rating is 4.6 out of 5, from 84 reviews. Reading the reviews, the same themes come up very regularly.
- The owner. This is the point that comes up most. Guests describe her as kind, attentive and helpful, and say they felt at home.
- The cleanliness. Many talk about clean, well-kept rooms with a full set of bed linen.
- The location. Central, close to public transport and the main streets.
- The breakfast. Those who have tried it call it varied and generous. One guest says it can be personalised by booking it the evening before.
What to know before booking
B&B La Villa wins over almost everyone, but there are a few details to know. One guest, while giving five stars, writes that there are not many hotels in Seriate, so you make do with small rooms, a shared bathroom and a hotel-level price.
| What you like | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|
| The owner's welcome | The service is very personal, so it is not anonymous |
| Central location close to the station | It is a town, not the heart of Bergamo |
| Kitchen available in many units | Some bathrooms are shared, so check based on the room |
| Airport shuttle on request | The service is paid |
Another guest mentions modest furniture, although well kept. If you are looking for designer furnishings, this is not the right place.
Who this B&B in Seriate is suited to
I would choose it for anyone travelling for work who wants a clean place near public transport, or for anyone with a flight from Orio al Serio who would rather sleep calmly the night before. One guest stayed a week for work and speaks very well of it.
It is also fine for a couple stopping over in Bergamo. Less suited to anyone who wants a guaranteed private bathroom in every case, or very large spaces.
What to do around Seriate
From Seriate the natural destination is Bergamo, with the Accademia Carrara among the closest sights. The Giovanni XXIII Congress Centre is another reference point for those coming for work.
If you are considering other places in Lombardy, you can look at Casa al Lago in Lecco, Villa Noce - Guest House in Brescia or the B&B La Maison Boutique in Desenzano del Garda. For a comfortable night close to the airport, however, B&B La Villa is a choice I understand very well.
Passionate about travel and about the kind of places that turn a getaway into something unforgettable. I love writing about hotels, country houses and charming hideaways, helping every traveller find the perfect place to rest and feel at home.
