The Property — Borgo Dei Conti Resort
Borgo Dei Conti Resort sits on a hillside just south of Perugia's historic centre, with a clean, airy lobby that smells faintly of citrus and polished stone. The atmosphere is relaxed but not rustic — think light wood, local ceramics, and a small pool with valley views. It's a solid 3-star with genuine hospitality, suited for travellers who want a quiet base with free parking and easy access to the old town without paying city-centre prices.
Chronicles of Perugia
Perugia was founded as Perusia by the Etruscans, possibly as early as the 6th century BC, and its massive Etruscan walls still define the old city. Under the Romans it prospered, then became a fierce medieval commune, later absorbed into the Papal States. The University of Perugia, established 1308, gives the city a lively student energy, while its bastions and alleys remain distinctly Umbrian — less touristed than Florence, more authentic. Today it's known for its chocolate festival (Eurochocolate) and as a centre for Italian language schools.
Best Time to Visit
Full Perugia guide →Best months
May, June and September: warm, mostly sunny days (22-28°C), minimal rain, and the city is lively but not overwhelmed. July can be hot but still fine.
Peak / festival surge
July and early August are peak: temperatures often exceed 32°C, and the Umbria Jazz Festival (usually early-mid July) draws big crowds. Hotel prices rise 30-50% over June rates; book early.
Budget shoulder season
Late September and October are the best shoulder: mild weather (18-24°C), fewer tourists, and hotel rates drop 20-30%. The grape harvest and Sagrantino wine events are bonuses.
Weather & packing
Umbria's summer afternoons often bring brief, sharp thunderstorms — carry a compact umbrella or light rain jacket. Pack layers: mornings can be cool even in June, so bring a light sweater or pashmina.
Live City Briefing — Perugia
- The Minimetrò between Pian di Massiano and the old town is running normally; check its weekend frequency as it reduces service on Sundays.
- Eurochocolate is scheduled for mid-October 2026, so June/July visits avoid the main crush but some chocolate-themed pop-ups may appear.
- Several restaurants in the centro storico now require reservations for dinner — especially on Friday and Saturday — so book ahead at least two days.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Borgo Dei Conti Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top (third) floor, facing the internal courtyard (away from Strada Tavernelle). The lift provides easy access, and the higher floor reduces any ground-level noise from parking or foot traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms fronting the street or near the main entrance, as the free on-site parking and road (Strada Tavernelle) can generate early-morning vehicle noise. Also skip rooms directly above the lobby or near the lift shaft on the first floor—lift mechanism hum.
Best views
Standard views are of the rural surroundings (Castiglione della Valle countryside) or the internal garden. The address is on a country road, so no cityscape—expect open fields or olive groves.
Quietest floors
Third floor offers the quietest stay due to distance from ground-level activity.
🔊 Noise notes
Strada Tavernelle is a local road, not a major artery, but occasional traffic from farm vehicles and morning delivery vans. The free on-site parking means guests arriving late may cause door-slams. No bar or service lift noise reported.
Insider tips
1) The accessible room is on the ground floor with step-free access—if you don't need it, avoid that wing to dodge foot traffic. 2) Parking fills quickly during Umbrian festival weekends (July–Aug); arrive before 2pm or use the free space near the back of the lot.
- 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
