About Perugia

Umbria is known for its wonderful medieval hilltop towns and the undulating hills they perch upon, and one of its finest is the capital of this beautiful region, Perugia, a city with a wonderful historic centre, out of which emanates a tangle of wonderful alleyways. Some of the best places to stay in Perugia can be found along these cobbled streets; but if you’re looking for wonderful Umbrian peace and quiet as well as the bustle of this culturally rich university city then there are plenty of splendid options just outside the city itself.

As well as being known for its medieval art and architecture, Perugia is also famous for its chocolates (there's a Chocolate Festival here every October). And of course its internationally renowned Jazz Festival held in July, which makes for an interesting juxtaposition with the backdrop. During the summertime music fills the piazzas, but there is still plenty of cultural buzz if you come outside of festival time.

Beyond that there are museums, more graceful squares, impressive galleries, hallowed churches, restaurants, cafes, as well as chocolate and gelato shops. Mmm, Italy.

With so much to see and do in the area the best places to stay in Perugia are very popular so do plan ahead and book early.

The Best Places to Stay in Perugia

In the centre of town

  • Hotel Brufani is situated bang in the centre of town, and is the only five star offering in Perugia. Stylish rooms nod to the property's artistocratic past, and the best suite offers multiple rooms and a private terrace. Plus there's an excellent restaurant and totally indulgent spa. Ideal for those who like their culture with a splash of luxury.
  • Locanda della Posta is located on Perugia's main street, so ideal if you want to explore on foot. Interiors boast loads of original features including frescoed ceilings in the communal areas, whilst bedrooms are completely the opposite - sleek and contemporary.

For a rural B&B

  • Relais Casamassima is a gorgeous five bedroom property just 5km from Perugia. Here it's all about peace, quiet and relaxation. Amid the lovely mature gardens you'll find a seasonal pool for days with your book or simply admiring the view; if you can't be bothered to move, lunch and dinners can be provided on request.

For romance

  • The Castello di Monterone is a 14th Century castle with 18 stylish rooms overlooking the beautifully undulating Umbrian countryside. There’s a hammam where you can have a massage, a fabulous pool and private cooking lessons are also available.

For an historic property

  • Alla Posta Dei Donini is also located just outside Perugia, this time to the south. The property dates back to the 17th century and is filled with beautiful original features including frescoed ceilings, decorated doors and paintings in the sitting rooms. Rooms and suites continue this theme with their traditionally classic style, which goes hand-in-hand with all the mod cons you need!
