Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Porziuncola, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Ask for a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor (1st or 2nd piano) in the main building, facing the internal courtyard (cortile interno). These rooms tend to be quieter and have better natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms 101, 102, 201, and 202 in the annex building (alloggio annesso). These rooms are located near the main street (Via della Pergola) and can be noisy from the street activity.
Best views
If you can, request a room with a view of the surrounding rooftops (panorama sulla città) on the 3rd floor or higher in the main building. These rooms offer a glimpse of the city's medieval architecture.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 in the main building are generally quieter, as they're farther from the street and the internal courtyard provides a buffer against noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Perugia's narrow streets and historic center mean that some noise from the city is unavoidable. However, the hotel's internal courtyard and thick stone walls can provide some insulation. Earplugs are a good idea if you're a light sleeper.
Insider tips
Perugia's historic center is a maze of narrow streets, so be prepared to walk uphill to reach the hotel. Consider purchasing a Perugia Card, which grants access to public transportation and discounts at local attractions.
- 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
