ospitalita — Perugia · Umbria
In the hills of Umbria on the outskirts of Perugia, where green countryside opens toward the ancient Etruscan walls, C'Era Una Volta offers a dual hospitality: a stone Bed & Breakfast among the hills and the Domus Romana holiday home in the historic heart of the city.
From the wide-open window, the gaze reaches the Etruscan walls of Perugia: a view that speaks to how ancient this land is. The hillside property is certified by Legambiente (Italy's leading environmental association) for its eco-sustainability — powered by photovoltaic panels, solar thermal panels and high-efficiency heat pumps — a documented commitment that blends into the hillside landscape without altering its character.
The flower garden crossed by the entrance path and the large portico with a hammock speak of a hospitality built for those who truly want to pause. The rural stone house, with classic brickwork, terracotta roof tiles and exposed beams, is furnished with antique pieces and old farming tools: every detail keeps alive the memory of Umbria's rural tradition.
In the morning, the Pierini family lays out breakfast with local specialities — a generous spread that guests describe fondly in their reviews. Michele, Tiziana and their children greet every arrival with personal recommendations on the area's art and cuisine: a welcome that turns the stay into something closer to a visit among old friends.
Discover the rooms, the Domus Romana in the historic centre of Perugia, and everything the Pierini family has prepared for your stay among the hills of Umbria.
