La proprietà — "As Easy as it sounds" bed & breakfast
This is a straightforward, no-fuss B&B on a quiet side street just inside Perugia's old city walls. The lobby is a small, tiled room with a reception desk, a few chairs and a noticeboard of local bus times — it feels more like a well-run private home than a hotel. The selling point is location: you can walk to Piazza IV Novembre in under ten minutes, and the owners are happy to mark up a paper map with their favourite trattorias. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, central base without any pretence.
Cronache di Perugia
Perugia was founded by the Umbri tribe, then became one of Etruria's major cities (around the 4th century BC), whose massive walls still underpin the old centre. After a long Roman period, it grew into a fiercely independent medieval commune, famously fighting against the Papacy in the 14th century. The Rocca Paolina fortress, built by Pope Paul III in the 1540s to control the city, was largely demolished in 1860 but its vast underground chambers now form a pedestrian piazza and walkway. Today, Perugia is a university town (the Università per Stranieri draws students from all over the world) and a regional capital that balances its Etruscan-Roman-medieval layers with a busy, modern civic life.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Perugia →I migliori mesi
May and September: warm, sunny days (22–26°C), low rainfall, and the tourist crowds are thinner than in July–August. June is also good but can get hot by late month.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the busiest, with temperatures often hitting 35°C. Hotel prices rise by 30–50% over spring rates. The main driver is summer holidays across Europe, plus the Umbria Jazz festival (usually mid-July) that brings big crowds to the city.
Stagione di spalla
Late April and October: daytime highs are 18–22°C, still pleasant for walking, and accommodation can be 40–60% cheaper than July. Fewer queues at the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria.
Meteo e imballaggio
Perugia sits on a hilltop, so even in June a cool evening breeze can arrive after sunset. Pack a light jacket or wrap for dinner outdoors.
Briefing della città — Perugia
- Through 2026, the Minimetrò automated tram that links the Pian di Massiano car park and rail station to the Pincetto stop near the city centre is running on its normal schedule (every 3–5 minutes). Service may be suspended for maintenance on certain Sundays — check the official Minimetrò website before your visit.
- The Rocca Paolina escalator route from the car parks at Piazza Partigiani up to the old town is operational, but one section may be closed for restoration work in summer 2026; signs will direct you to an alternative path.
- Perugia's main public car park (Saba Parcheggio Italia) near the railway station charges a daily rate of about €8 (2025 prices); booking recommended for weekends in June.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to "As Easy as it sounds" bed & breakfast, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third (top) floor, rear-facing. These are furthest from the street and foot traffic on Via Cartolari, and less likely to pick up noise from the shared entrance and stairs. The top floor also gets more natural light over the rooftops.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any room on the first floor facing Via Cartolari. The three-storey building has no lift, so first-floor rooms still require steps but sit closest to street noise (cars, delivery vans, pedestrian chatter near Pellini car park). Ground-floor rooms, while easier on access, may have noise from the entrance and narrow corridor.
Best views
Rooms on the third floor at the rear may have partial views over the historic centre’s rooftops and glimpses of the hills around Perugia. Front-facing rooms look onto Via Cartolari, a narrow lane with limited views. The top floor is your best bet for any skyline or ridge line vista.
Quietest floors
Third floor is the quietest. Second floor is manageable if rear-facing. Avoid ground and first floors for sleep.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Via Cartolari is the main source, plus footfall in the stairs (no lift means everyone uses the staircase). The Pellini car park adds occasional traffic hum, especially around 8–9am and 5–7pm. No bar or restaurant on-site, so no late-night crowd noise. Thin walls possible in a converted townhouse.
Insider tips
1. For parking, book ahead at Parcheggio Pellini – €15/24h and a 5-minute walk. They sometimes fill by midday. No EV charging within 500m. 2. Pack light: no lift, and stairs are narrow. Request ground-floor room only if you have mobility issues, but expect some street noise. Otherwise, aim for top-floor rear.
- 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

Conad, Coop, and Lidl are the common budget supermarkets.

Principali attrazioni a Perugia
💡 Go early to avoid crowds; the free part includes the crypt and some chapels, but the main treasury costs a few euros.
💡 Enter from Piazza Italia or the escalator by the bus station; it’s a cool escape on hot days and tells you a lot about Perugia’s history.
💡 Bring lunch from a nearby bakery; the view works best in late afternoon light. Free toilets in the park building.
💡 Go at dusk for the passeggiata, when locals stroll and socialise. Grab a €1.50 espresso from a bar—sitting costs more.
💡 Check the museum's website for free first Sunday of the month. Allow 1.5 hours to see everything properly.
