La Casina del Centro

The apartment looks better in reality than it does in the pictures. It was very clean, and you can definitely say that they pay attention to every detail in order to make their guests feel comfortable. We liked the location, which was really close to Piazza Italia. There are a lot of restaurants and shops around, everything walking distance. Costanza was a great host and she made us feel welcomed in her home. She even left a welcome gift for us. I definitely recommend Costanza’s place if you want to visit Perugia.

The host was very pleasant, easy to communicate with and ready to help us with whatever we needed. The house was clean, well equipped and very near to the centre, providing quick access to the main attractions.

It was quite cold and took a while to get warm by using the air conditioners but in the end everything was fine.

Very central location in old town (which has a flip-side negative see below), small apartment big enough for two at a very good price. Good quality to bathroom fittings and hot water no problem. Much better space than a B&B or hotel. Use Booking.com messaging with owner to get instructions for check-in and check-out with fast answers (tho in Italian so you'll need to copy and paste them into Google translate). To get in you'll need a code sent on the day or arrival on booking,com so make sure your phone is charged. That will allow you to release the outside door and use a keypress inside to get at some keys to use during your stay. I rate this highly as it is value for money - you even get a bottle of wine on arrival. Oh - having black and white scans of your passport photo pages helps keep check-in contactless.

I won't knock off my high rating for these as the apartment is what it is - and it is a great price - just be aware: A) The floor is tiled and can be cold under foot - pack some warm socks B) You can get outside voices late at night; spillover from nearby bars and restaurants - generally fades around midnight - a consequence of its central location. C) exterior of the property doesn't inspire - understand this is set in old town Perugia where buildings have evolved over centuries (even millennia with the neighbouring structure). A couple of things - there were no food preparation knives - something we did not miss but you may - so check with the owner - I'm sure she will sort this out - she is very friendly and helpful. The bathroom is nice - only it is cramped for space.
