ospitalita — Città della Pieve · Umbria
In the heart of Città della Pieve, birthplace of Perugino, Hotel Vannucci has opened its doors since 1903: more than a century of Umbrian hospitality, now kept alive by the sixth generation of the Wirth family, with the same care reserved for a family home.
From the window unfolds the profile of the Umbrian hills that hold Città della Pieve close on every side: a medieval borgo (historic hilltop village) where Perugino was born, and where time still seems to keep pace with the weekly market, the bell towers and the brick-paved lanes. The hotel stands right here, at the centre, a step from everything.
The thirty rooms are each individually decorated, in a style ranging from Classic to Deluxe with a private balcony overlooking the greenery. The flowering garden, tended with meticulous care, wraps around the pool, sheltered by hedges and lined with sun loungers: an intimate space where the scent of flowers mingles with the quiet light of Umbria.
At the helm of the hotel are Roberto J. and Veruschka Wirth, sixth generation of a family of hoteliers: their touch can be felt in the attention to detail in every room, and at the table of Ristorante Zafferano, where Umbrian cuisine is reimagined with local produce — saffron from Città della Pieve chief among them — while the cellar hosts tastings with verticals of local wines.
More than a hundred years of family hospitality in the heart of Umbria: this page on Hotel Vannucci tells every detail of a stay worth the journey.
