The Property — Fazzuoli Hotel
Fazzuoli Hotel is a compact, no-frills two-star right on the main Corso Vannucci. The lobby is small, tiled and functional, with a desk that gets you keys and a smile in about thirty seconds. It’s best for solo travellers or couples who plan to be out all day and just want a clean, central room to sleep. There’s no lift, no restaurant and no fuss — what you see is what you get.
Chronicles of Perugia
Perugia was founded by the Etruscans around the 6th century BCE, leaving a massive city wall and the well-preserved Arco Etrusco gate. The Romans added an amphitheatre and aqueduct, but the medieval period really shaped the skyline, with the Palazzo dei Priori and the Cathedral of San Lorenzo dominating the hilltop. Today it’s a busy university town and regional capital, known for the Umbria Jazz Festival, Eurochocolate and a fiercely local food scene built around black truffle, olive oil and porchetta.
Best Time to Visit
Full Perugia guide →Best months
May, September, October: warm but not oppressive, fewer tourists than summer, and local events like the Festa dei Ceri (May) or Eurochocolate (October) add energy without overwhelming the city.
Peak / festival surge
July: Umbria Jazz Festival draws huge crowds; hotel prices in Perugia can double. The city is packed, streets are loud until late, and advance booking is essential.
Budget shoulder season
April and November: milder weather (10-18°C), significantly lower room rates, and quieter streets. November is drizzly but you’ll have the museum corridors almost to yourself.
Weather & packing
Perugia sits on a hill at nearly 500 metres, so summer evenings can be surprisingly cool — expect a temperature drop of 8-10°C after sunset. Pack a light jacket or long-sleeve top for dinners and evenings out.
Live City Briefing — Perugia
- The main Piazza IV Novembre has new seating and paving completed in 2025; the famous Fontana Maggiore is fully accessible and lit at night.
- Umbria Jazz 2026 runs 10-19 July; if you’re in town 3-4 July you’ll see posters and hear soundchecks, but the core crowd hasn’t arrived yet.
- The Minimetrò funicular from the lower car parks to Piazza Italia is running a reduced summer schedule, so check last-departure times if you rely on it.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Fazzuoli Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor (third or fourth) away from the street side. The higher floors minimise street noise from the central Perugia traffic and morning deliveries.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms and those facing the street directly. The 2-star rating suggests thinner windows, so street-facing rooms at the back of the hotel near the central courtyard or rear facade are quieter.
Best views
Upper-floor rooms facing the rear or side (if available) offer views over Perugia's historic rooftops, avoiding the busy street. The central location means no panoramic valley views, but you'll see old stone facades and church towers.
Quietest floors
Floors 3–4 are the quietest, furthest from street-level noise and the reception area.
🔊 Noise notes
Perugia's narrow historic streets amplify moped, scooter, and delivery van noise, especially from early morning (7am) until late evening. The hotel's central position near Piazza IV Novembre means pedestrian crowds and restaurant sounds from nearby eateries. Street-facing rooms on lower floors are most affected.
Insider tips
1. Park at the free escalator car park at Pian di Massiano and take the mini-metro or escalator into the centre — the hotel has no parking and the limited traffic zone (ZTL) fines are steep. 2. Ask for a wake-up call if you need an early start, as thin walls mean you'll hear neighbours in adjacent rooms.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs (Bancomat) inside the city for the best rates; avoid the airport exchange desks and the change bureaux near Piazza IV Novembre, which have poor rates.
Visa/Mastercard accepted widely in supermarkets, restaurants, and shops; small bars and market stalls often require cash (€5–€20 notes). Contactless is common for transactions under €25.
Not expected; round up the bill at restaurants (€1–€2 for coffee or pizza), give €1–€3 to hotel porters, taxi drivers appreciate rounding to the nearest euro.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A standard espresso at the counter in any bar costs around €1.00–€1.20; take a seat and it’s €2.00–€2.50.
A pizza al taglio (by the slice) or a panino from a forno/pizzeria is €4–€6; a set lunch menu in a trattoria is about €12–€15.
A pasta or pizza main course in an affordable osteria or pizzeria is €8–€12.
The area around the Fontana Maggiore and Corso Vannucci has several bakeries and street stalls selling porchetta panini, truffle crostini, and fried olives (olive ascolane) for €4–€7.
Conad, Crai, and Simply are the common budget supermarket chains; there’s a Conad near Piazza Grimana and a Crai on Via della Sposa.
The main high street Corso Vannucci and side streets have Zara, OVS, and local boutiques; for cheap basics try the Mercato Coperto (covered market) at the base of the escalator.
The Minimetrò (mini metro) day pass is €2.30 and covers all buses and the escalator lifts from the train station up to the old town. From the airport (Aeroporto di Perugia), take the €6.00 bus to Piazza Partigiani, not the €25 taxi.
Buy a bus+metrò day ticket for €2.30 to avoid single fares. Eat lunch at bars that serve pizza al taglio rather than sit-down restaurants. Fill a water bottle at the free public fountains (fontanelle) scattered around the city.
