Perugia is lively, with a large student population, and boasts great cafes along the Corso Vanucci for people-watching, as well as Umbria's National Gallery. Nearby Lago Trasimeno, Italy's largest lake, is the perfect retreat, unspoilt like much of Umbria's landscape. Assisi, Orvieto, Spoleto are all nearby cities not to be missed, offering glimpses into Umbria's rich history. Hilltop towns such as Trevi in the rolling hills around the River Tiber are unforgettably picturesque. This is a heartland of great beauty, offering many treasures of art and architecture.

The Hotel Fortuna combines charm with modernity. In the new part of the hotel where guests are offered a buffet breakfast, there is an arch dating from the 16th century. There are wonderful panoramic views from the fifth-floor roof garden. You can even see frescoes dating back to the 1700s in the bright and welcoming reading-room on the 3rd floor. Rooms come fully equipped with air-con, shower and minibar. This is a welcoming place, a hotel in Umbria that has the enviable position of being in the very heart of medieval Perugia, but also offers guests the chance to explore this most fascinating and even mysterious Italian heartland.
