Where Hotel Priori Secret Garden is, and why the location matters
Hotel Priori Secret Garden is at Via Vermiglioli 3, inside Perugia’s historic center, with Corso Vannucci and the Fontana Maggiore each about a 2-minute walk (200 m / 220 yards). The building dates from 1994 and was renovated in 2022, when its historic furnishings were reworked with contemporary colors. It is listed as a 4-star hotel with 55 rooms.
The name refers to a roof garden among Perugia’s medieval rooftops, used for breakfast in the morning and aperitivo (pre-dinner drinks) at sunset, next to a 60 sq m (650 sq ft) terrace and the Secret Bistrot restaurant. The other rarity is a private covered garage, listed at €30 per day (October 2026), which is uncommon this deep in the centro storico (historic center).
Getting there
- From Perugia Airport (PEG): Sant’Egidio is about 20 km (12 miles) away, around a 26-minute drive as listed.
- By train: Perugia Station is about a 21-minute walk as listed, or a short taxi ride.
- By MiniMetrò: the Pincetto and Cupa stations are each about a 7-minute walk.

Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere
A good fit if you want to walk everywhere in the old town, like the idea of breakfast on a rooftop, and travel with a dog, since dogs are accepted for a fee. There is also a 24-hour fitness center and a bar.
Look elsewhere if you like a slow morning, since check-out is at 10:00 a.m., or you want free parking, which the center rarely offers. Some rooms are on upper floors, so ask about the elevator route if stairs are an issue.
What to do from Perugia
