Villas in Perugia
Perugia suits families and couples who want a country home with a pool and garden, plus a hilltop university city to drive into. Most homes have a private pool and nearly all a garden. They are spread through the countryside around the city, though, so you will be driving and parking for every trip into the centre.

About Perugia
Perugia is a city of around 160,000 people that covers a high hilltop at nearly 500 metres and spills into the valleys around it, with the Tiber running through. Its history goes back to the Etruscans, and the university dates from 1308, while the separate University for Foreigners teaches Italian language and culture to students from around the world. In Piazza IV Novembre the Fontana Maggiore, designed by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano, faces the Palazzo dei Priori, home of the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria. Escalators climb through the Rocca Paolina, the fortress of Pope Paul III, whose underground section feels like a medieval village, and the Minimetrò runs up from a large car park. Just before sunset, head to Porta Sole, a city gate from the Etruscan era. Our homes are spread across the countryside around Perugia rather than in the city itself.
