La proprietà — Choco Hotel
Choco Hotel is a compact three-star on Via XX Settembre, a ten-minute walk north of the main square. The lobby smells faintly of chocolate and wears a playful, cocoa-themed decor with dark wood and warm lighting. It suits a traveller who wants a clean, family-run base with a sense of humour rather than luxury. You stand there knowing you’re near the escalators that drop you into the historic centre, and the staff will hand you a map and a local chocolate bar without fuss.
Cronache di Perugia
Perugia was founded by the Etruscans as one of their twelve main cities, and its massive Etruscan walls still define the old town’s layout. The Romans took over in the 3rd century BC, leaving behind the Arch of Augustus and a grid that later became a medieval maze. The University of Perugia, founded in 1308, has kept the city young and lively, with a strong foreign-student scene. Today the centro storico feels layered: a touch of Gothic stone, Renaissance palazzi from the Baglioni period, and a lively café culture that spills onto Piazza IV Novembre.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Perugia →I migliori mesi
May, June, September – warm days around 22–28°C, low chance of rain, floral blooms or autumn harvest; the Eurochocolate crowd hasn’t arrived or has left.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are peak tourist months; also early October for Eurochocolate festival. Hotel prices can jump 30–50% on weekends. August is hot (often 33°C+) and packed with Italian holidaymakers.
Stagione di spalla
April and October – still sunny but cooler (15–20°C), hotel rates drop 20–30% versus August. You get quieter streets and proper local restaurant service.
Meteo e imballaggio
Perugia sits at 450m on a hill – it can be 5–10°C cooler than the valley floor below. Pack a light jacket or warm cardigan even in summer for evenings, and always a rainproof layer because afternoon thunderstorms can roll in suddenly.
Briefing della città — Perugia
- The Minimetrò (the public funicular that runs from the railway station up to the historic centre) is due for routine maintenance in June 2026 – check for temporary stop closures before you travel.
- A new food-hall-style market called Mercato delle Erbe has opened in the ground floor of the former Fiera di Perugia building, near the Rocca Paolina, offering local Umbrian produce and casual eating.
- The city has introduced a ‘ZTL ticket’ for non-resident cars entering the historic centre in June 2026 – buy a day-pass online or park outside the walls (Piazza Partigiani lot is reliable).
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Choco Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third floor (top floor) facing the inner courtyard or rear of the building. These are farthest from the street (Via Campo di Marte) and the lift, so quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the main entrance or lift, as these pick up lobby noise and street sounds from the ramp area. Also avoid rooms facing Via Campo di Marte directly, especially on lower floors (first and second), because it’s a main road with bus and scooter traffic.
Best views
Rooms at the front (Via Campo di Marte side) have standard urban views of the street and buildings opposite – not scenic. Request a room at the rear for quieter outlook onto the inner courtyard or neighbouring rooftops; no panoramic views in this location.
Quietest floors
Third floor (top floor) tends to be quietest, especially if away from the lift shaft.
🔊 Noise notes
Via Campo di Marte is a main thoroughfare into Perugia, with buses and scooters from early morning until late evening. The single lift has a mechanical hum. No bar or restaurant on site, so no late-night kitchen noise, but the accessible ground-floor room may catch early check-in activity.
Insider tips
1. Park at Parcheggio Piazza Matteotti (€18/night, 5-min walk) – validate your ticket at the hotel reception for a small discount. 2. Check-in is smooth; Wi-Fi works without a password – just accept terms in browser. If you need absolute quiet, ask for a top-floor rear room at booking; no guarantee, but it helps.
- 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

ATMs (bancomat) are widely available and give the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the train station or in tourist spots, as they typically charge poor rates and high commissions.
Most restaurants, shops, and supermarkets accept Visa and Mastercard; contactless and Apple Pay/Google Pay are common for small amounts. Keep some cash for small cafes, markets, and bus tickets.
Not expected in restaurants (service is included), but rounding up the bill or leaving a few euros for good service is appreciated. Round up taxi fares to the nearest euro; no need to tip hotel staff unless for special service.
Mangiare, fare shopping e viaggiare su un budget
Cheap car hire →An espresso at a bar (standing at the counter) costs around €1-1.20; cappuccino a little more, but avoid ordering it after lunch.
A slice of pizza (pizza al taglio) or a panino from a bakery or takeaway joint costs €4-7; a sit-down pizza or pasta lunch in a trattoria is €10-15.
Most affordable restaurants offer a pasta or pizza main for €8-12; avoid the main piazza for better prices.
Perugia's historic centre has several bakeries and small shops selling porchetta sandwiches, pizza al taglio, and tarts (torta al testo); the area around Piazza IV Novembre is busy but pricier.
Conad, Coop, and Lidl are the main budget supermarkets; Conad and Coop have central locations (e.g., near Piazza Grimana).
Corso Vannucci has mid-range Italian chains (e.g., OVS, Nannini) and a few indie boutiques; for cheaper basics, head to the shopping centre near Pian di Massiano (Minimetro stop).
A single bus ticket (valid 90 minutes) costs €1.50; a 10-ride ticket is €13.50. From Perugia airport (PEG), the cheapest way is the ACAP-SULGA shuttle bus to the train station or centre for €5 single; taxis cost €25-30. For getting around, walk—the historic centre is compact and hilly.
Buy bus tickets at tabacchi or newsstands before boarding—they cost more on board. For a cheap meal, look for the ‘pranzo di lavoro’ (set lunch) menus in trattorias, often under €12 with water and coffee. Fill your water bottle at the free public water fountains (fontanelle) scattered around town.

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.
