ACCOMMODATION PERUGIA Umbria

Perugia, the capital of the region of Umbria is a medieval walled city has its own distinct personality, like all of Italy’s towns. It has stunning views from the edge of the city for kilometres over the beautiful Umbrian fields.

Perugia has a particular vocation as a university town. The Università degli Studi di Perugia, which was founded in the 1200s, has been welcoming students from all across Europe since the Middle Ages.

Against the sober architecture some of the most vibrant events take place here if you are a fan of chocolates and jazz, the annual Chocolate Fair in October and the world-class International Umbria Jazz Festival in Mid-July which attracts the world’s greats.
