The Property — Hotel I Trocchi
Hotel I Trocchi sits on a quiet side street a short walk from the escalators that connect the lower town to Perugia's medieval core. The lobby feels like a modest, functional base: tiled floors, a small bar, and a polite front desk that will give you a solid map. Rooms are clean and value-priced, with decent AC – essential in July. It suits independent travellers who need a cheap, decent sleep more than boutique charm.
Chronicles of Perugia
Perugia was an important Etruscan city (Perusia) before becoming a fiercely independent medieval commune; its brutal Palazzo dei Priori and Rocca Paolina fortress still dominate the hilltop. The city was a major hub for the Umbrian school of painting in the 15th century, home to Perugino and the young Raphael. Today it's a busy university town (Università per Stranieri) with a young, international buzz, yet its narrow cobbled lanes and 40-odd churches keep a quiet, ancient weight. The annual Umbria Jazz festival in July is the biggest cultural event, packing the piazzas with concerts and tourists.
Best Time to Visit
Full Perugia guide →Best months
May (pleasantly warm, not crowded), September (summer heat fades, fewer tourists), October (mild, cheaper, good for sightseeing).
Peak / festival surge
July (Umbria Jazz festival, plus general summer holiday traffic). Hotel prices can double, and advance booking is essential. The festival draws big crowds to the main piazzas.
Budget shoulder season
April and October offer cooler weather, lower prices, and far fewer queues at the Galleria Nazionale and other sights. November is very quiet but can be rainy.
Weather & packing
July in Perugia is hot and often dry, but afternoon thunderstorms are not unusual – a sudden downpour can flood the cobbles. Pack a compact umbrella and a light, breathable layer for evenings, which cool down noticeably on the hilltop.
Live City Briefing — Perugia
- The escalator system connecting Piazza Partigiani to the historic centre (including the Rocca Paolina) is fully operational – a real time-saver in summer heat.
- The main piazza, Piazza IV Novembre, is completely pedestrianised; car traffic inside the walls remains heavily restricted, so park in one of the pay lots below the city and take the escalator up.
- Umbria Jazz runs from 9 to 18 July 2026. Expect piazza concerts, street music, and closed roads in the centre – book restaurants ahead and check the official schedule for free events.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel I Trocchi, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the higher floors (4th or 5th) for a quieter stay, as they are less likely to be affected by street noise from Via dei Priori. These floors also have access to the elevator, which might be a convenience for guests.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, as they may be noisier due to the proximity to the hotel's entrance and potential street noise. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance or lift might experience some noise disturbance.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Via dei Priori does not offer panoramic views, but rooms on the higher floors might have a glimpse of the surrounding medieval rooftops.
Quietest floors
The 4th and 5th floors are likely the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the fact that they are higher up.
🔊 Noise notes
As the hotel is located on a pedestrian street, be prepared for some background noise from the surrounding area, including occasional music and chatter. The hotel's proximity to the city center also means that there may be some late-night noise from bars and restaurants.
Insider tips
Request a room with a window on the side of the hotel to minimize street noise. This might be a good option for a quieter stay. If you're driving, consider parking in one of the nearby public parking lots, as the hotel's parking options are limited.
- 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
