It may be metres from Bergamo’s main square, but Il Sole has the unhurried feel of a family-run B&B in a quiet Italian village. Enter via the eponymous restaurant and find your room amid a dense warren of corridors and stairs.
Rooms are spacious but simple – some are a little dark – but it’s a friendly abode with a cheerful restaurant plying Lombard classics like ravioli with butter and bacon.
