The Property — Le due quercie
Le due quercie is a modest 3-star on a quiet side street ten minutes' walk from Perugia's escalator to the historic centre. The lobby feels more like a country-house sitting room than a hotel: terracotta floors, a few armchairs, and actual oak beams overhead. It suits travellers who want a decent bed and free parking rather than frills, and who will spend their days out exploring Umbria's hill towns. The breakfast buffet is basic but includes proper coffee and fresh pastries.
Chronicles of Perugia
Perugia was an important Etruscan settlement (the city's polygonal walls survive), then a fiercely independent medieval commune that fought Perugia's neighbours until the Papal States took over in the 16th century. The Rocca Paolina fortress, built by Pope Paul III, is now a tunnel of escalators that carries visitors from the modern car parks up into the medieval centre. The university, founded in 1308, keeps the city young and lively, especially around Piazza IV Novembre. Today Perugia is famous for its chocolate industry (Perugina, Baci) and hosts the massive Eurochocolate festival every October.
Best Time to Visit
Full Perugia guide →Best months
May, June and September offer warm, mostly sunny days with manageable crowds. July and August can be hot but are still pleasant for evening strolls.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak tourism months for Perugia as tourists pass through on their way to Florence and Rome. Hotel prices rise by about 30-50% vs May. There is no single major festival in July, but the town fills anyway. July 4 itself is a normal busy summer day.
Budget shoulder season
April, October and early November bring discounted rooms, mild weather (15-20°C) and far fewer tourists. The bite of autumn works well for walking the medieval streets without queues.
Weather & packing
Perugia sits on a hilltop so it can be noticeably cooler and breezier than the valley below, even in July. Pack a light jacket or cardigan for evenings, and comfortable walking shoes for the steep lanes and steps.
Live City Briefing — Perugia
- The escalators from the bus station to Piazza Partigiani are running but check for scheduled maintenance on the Minimetrò automated tram, which connects the lower parking areas to the historic centre.
- In summer 2026, Perugia's outdoor summer arts programme (Umbria Jazz) finishes in mid-July so the city will be quieter on your stay date but expect some leftover concert sets in Piazza IV Novembre.
- A new cycle path along the Tiber river valley, connecting Perugia to Torgiano, opened in late 2025; bike hire is available near the railway station.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Le due quercie, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first or second floor, facing the inner courtyard (if available), as these are quieter and likely have better access to natural light given the building's age and typical urban layout.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, especially those facing the street (likely Via della Quercia or similar named lane), as they may pick up pedestrian and traffic noise from Perugia's narrow historic streets.
Best views
Rooms on the first or second floor facing the inner courtyard offer a view of the garden (the 'due quercie' oaks, if still there) and possibly a glimpse of Perugia's rooftops. Street-facing rooms overlook a typical Umbrian lane — pleasant but not panoramic.
Quietest floors
Floors 1 and 2 are the quietest — removed from street bustle and away from any ground-level bar or reception noise. Third-floor rooms could be quieter still if above the lift mechanism, but the lift may disturb if poorly insulated.
🔊 Noise notes
Perugia's city centre is pedestrianised or narrow-laned, so street noise is mostly footfall, occasional scooters, and early morning delivery vans. The main noise source will be other guests in corridors and from the bar/breakfast room on the ground floor. Windows in a historic building are often single-glazed, so ask if the room has double glazing.
Insider tips
1. Parking: Perugia has limited on-street parking; ask the hotel if they have a deal with the nearby Piazza Partigiani garage (cheaper than the centre). 2. Check-in: Reception may not be 24-hour; confirm arrival time in advance, especially if arriving after 9pm. 3. Request a fan in summer — 3-star hotels rarely have full AC in historic centres.
- 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
