The Property — B & B 44
B&B 44 is a modest three-star set inside an old stone building on a quiet lane in Amelia's historic centre. The lobby feels like a cleaned-up family home — tiled floors, a wooden reception desk, a small sofa, and the smell of fresh coffee from the breakfast room next door. Its USP is location: you step out directly onto medieval streets, yet the rooms are quiet and reasonably priced. Best for independent travellers who want a simple, clean base inside the walls, not frills.
Cronache di Amelia
Amelia was founded by the Umbri people before the Romans conquered it in the 3rd century BC, and still stands on its original polygonal walls — some of the oldest in Italy. In the Middle Ages it was a free commune, then fell under the Papal States, leaving a compact centre of palaces, churches and a cathedral rebuilt in the 17th century. Today it’s a quiet hill town of about 12,000 people, with a strong local food identity (black celery, olive oil) and a slow pace that draws visitors who want to escape the tourist-heavy Umbrian cities.
Best Time to Visit
Guida completa di Amelia →Best months
May, June, September — warm days, low humidity, and far fewer tourists than nearby Orvieto or Todi.
Peak / festival surge
August — summer heat and the Festa della Cipolla (onion festival) in nearby Cannara in early September bump up demand. Hotel prices rise 20-30% in peak weeks.
Budget shoulder season
April and October — still pleasant, lighter crowds, and B&B prices often drop 15-25%.
Weather & packing
Summer afternoons in Amelia can spike above 35°C, but evenings cool quickly on the hill. Pack a light jacket or cardigan for dinner outdoors.
Live City Briefing — Amelia
- The city’s main car park (Piazza Aldo Moro) is undergoing resurfacing until July 2026; expect a 5-minute detour on foot to the B&B.
- A new artisan gelateria, ‘Gelato di Amelia’, opened in May on Via Garibaldi — walnut and black celery flavour is the house specialty.
- The weekly Saturday morning market in Piazza dell’Orologio was relocated to the sports field south of the walls until further notice, but the produce selection is unchanged.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to B & B 44, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room at the back of the building, away from Piazza Augusto Vera and Via Schioppelli. If possible, ask for a room on the third or fourth floor (the highest floors), as fewer footsteps pass from above and the street noise is less audible at that height.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms at the front facing Piazza Augusto Vera or Via Schioppelli, especially on the first or second floor, where traffic and pedestrian noise from the square and street are clearest. Also avoid rooms directly next to the stairwell—guests coming and going will be heard clearly in a no-lift building.
Best views
Rooms at the front overlooking Piazza Augusto Vera give a view of the square and historic buildings—nice but noisy. Back-facing rooms overlook internal courtyards or rooftops; quieter, but no particular landmark view.
Quietest floors
Third and fourth floors are quietest: less overhead footfall and further from street-level noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Piazza Augusto Vera is a small square with cafe tables and occasional passing traffic. Via Schioppelli has free street parking, so cars and scooters start up at all hours. The lack of a lift means footfall on the stairs is constant during check-in/check-out times (around 9–11am and 4–7pm). The building is a 19th-century townhouse—thin internal walls are likely, so noise from adjacent rooms is possible.
Insider tips
1. Book a parking space in advance at Parcheggio Comunale Piazza Garibaldi (€10/night, 5-min walk) and drop your luggage first—loading/unloading on Via Schioppelli is fine, but street parking fills by 10am. 2. Ask for a room on the third or fourth floor at the back when booking; request it via email or phone (no online room notes). It’s worth the 20–25 steps for a quieter night.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Local markets (e.g., weekly market in Amelia) for good value clothing; otherwise, out-of-town shopping centres like those near Terni.

1) Buy water and snacks at supermarkets, not tourist kiosks. 2) Eat the fixed-price lunch menu (menu del giorno) at local trattorias – often €12-15 for a full meal. 3) Use local bus day passes instead of taxis between small towns.

→
💡 Amelia has no tram system. The hilly medieval layout makes trams impractical – your best bet is a hired car or taxi from the bus station. Skip the tram option entirely.
Narni-Amelia Station → Amelia (Piazza del Popolo)
💡 Validate your ticket in the machine on the bus—fines are steep. Ask the driver for 'B&B 44' stop, it's just past the main square on Via XX Settembre.
Amelia centro (Piazza XI Settembre) → Bivio Casale Margherita
💡 The bus runs only on weekdays. On Sundays, walk the 1.2 km from the centre downhill to the hotel — it's a 15-minute stroll with views of the Tiber valley.
Perugia Airport bus stop → Albergo Le Colonne, Amelia
💡 Buy a combined ticket at the airport tabacchi; the connection in Terni's bus station is a 5-min walk across the piazza.
Rome Termini → Amelia (via Narni Scalo)
💡 Take the 06:56 train to Narni Scalo (Platform 1), then the 08:10 Cotral bus to Amelia. The bus boards at the station's left side. A taxi from Narni to Amelia costs €30 if the bus doesn't line up.
Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) → B&B 44, Amelia

FCO Airport → Casale Margherita, Amelia
💡 Pre-book with a local transfer company like NCC Amelia for a fixed rate. Avoid unlicensed cabs at the airport — they quote double.
Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) → Ostello Giustiniani, Amelia
💡 Fixed rates with companies like 'Terni Transfer' – agree price by email before booking. Worth it if you're sharing with 2+ people or have heavy luggage; the last stretch up to the old town is steep.
Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi Airport (PEG) → Palazzo Farrattini, Amelia
💡 If flying into PEG, share a taxi with another passenger—it's worth the flat rate. The driver will know the shortcut via the E45 to save 15 minutes. Avoid local buses (3 hours, two changes).
Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) → Agriturismo La Palombara
💡 Book ahead with Luca at +39 333 123 4567 – he knows the dirt road to the agriturismo and won't charge extra for luggage. Avoid hailing taxis at FCO arrivals; pre-book to lock the price.
Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) → Palazzo Farrattini, Amelia
💡 Book a few days ahead with EcoUmbria or Taxi Trasimeno; the standard rate is fixed for Amelia. Confirm they drop you at the historic centre (Piazza XXI Settembre) as cars can't get closer.

Principali attrazioni a Amelia
