Very careful attention to Covid-related regulations, including high tech sanitization and careful rules for the guests. The property is beautiful; a little over 2 km to old Perugia. Google's directions aren't perfect, so make sure you follow the owner's directions (which are perfect). If the property isn't "new", it sure looks it. It's truly lovely. Hospitality and kindness: a 10+!

I missed some eggs at my breakfast! But what very gentle people and excellent coffee! For the cleaning we have to give an 11/10. Better than home!

Perfect! There are no other comments to add. The most important thing in a structure like 'C'era una volta' is the welcome you receive. When the spirit of welcome is perfect, everything else is ok. Perfect in every way.

Located just outside Perugia, this Bed & Breakfast is located on the upper floor of the family's home that manages it. To get there, you have to travel a particularly uphill stretch, but it's absolutely worth it: the view is phenomenal, the house is beautiful, and the guest floor is equipped with everything you need to spend days in relaxation just a stone's throw from beautiful Perugia. Mr. Pierini is very kind and helpful, as well as the rest of the family. We will definitely return!

...Once upon a time... never a more fitting name! Today it's increasingly rare to find warm and personalized Bed and Breakfasts! Things done with love always turn out well! In short, everything you would want to find when staying away from home: hospitality, kindness, cleanliness, comfort (fantastic beds), simple yet refined decor, everything perfect. Definitely an example to follow for Bed and Breakfast owners.

The answer from the host:
La ringrazio per la sua recensione, pensavamo che offrire prosciutto, pasticceria fresca di una pasticceria locale, frutta yogurt, e pasticcini locali con farina di farro fosse sufficiente se avesse avuto esigenze diverse sarebbe stata nostra premura cercare di soddisfarle. Grazie.

gian paolo

First time I came, getting there is not very intuitive even if you rely on a navigator, that's why the owner sent me all the necessary directions on the phone. Pleasant structure, surrounded by greenery and quiet, friendly owners and impeccable cleanliness. In the room, I also found a minibar and a coffee machine very useful.

In the open countryside but very close to Perugia, lovely place with so much peace and tranquility. Breakfast could be improved but the friendliness and enthusiasm of the hosts really impressed us. To come back.

Accommodation and welcome very pleasant. We spent 3 days in Perugia referring to 'C'era una volta', a beautiful structure as a whole but in a very quiet place. Thanks again to the hosts who treated us with courtesy and attention. Highly recommended for those looking for a quiet, welcoming place without too much extravagance.

We stayed 3 nights at the 'C'era una volta' property: a true oasis of peace! Close to the city of Perugia, but away from the chaos and traffic. The Bed and Breakfast is an excellent starting point to visit the wonders located a few kilometers away. The great courtesy of the owners (always available!) and the wonderful breakfast completed our stay.

Cozy structure located in the Umbrian countryside, a bit tricky to reach even following the provided directions. Excellent cleanliness, with ozone sanitization of the room and baggage disinfection with ultraviolet rays, guaranteeing high safety. Unfortunately, the breakfast is mainly composed of packaged products. The fresh bread and croissants served every morning in the kitchen are exceptions. Overall, it was a good experience, excellent hospitality but insufficient breakfast, I would have preferred it to include fresher and local products.

Strategic location, immersed in the greenery above a hill behind Perugia. Five minutes and you reach the free parking and explore the city.\n\nConvenient point to visit the various towns, Spello Assisi Bevagna Montefalco Rasiglia etc etc.\n\nFriendly and professional staff, breakfast is a joy shared with other guests.\n\nIn our opinion, it is more convenient than being in the center. Best regards and thank you.

Tiziana and Michele made us feel at home. I recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Umbria and at the same time find peace and silence upon returning from the day.

The location allows you to be in nature but with a real 10-minute drive plus 10 minutes walk you are right in the center. I tried to go up to the center from the escalator side and the time wasted is much, much more.\n\nBesides Perugia, we wanted to visit other villages and I must say that the location makes it easy to take the high-flow roads that allow you not to waste time in transfers.\n\nClean room. We had the smallest one which is indeed small but we knew it and for the amount requested it was excellent.\n\nOwner available and professional. It's the first time the owner sent me a map and guide of things to see plus recommended restaurants on my smartphone.\n\nWifi without problems.\n\nCons. One night the cock crowing I would have wanted to wring his neck, the other 2 nights instead we slept well.\nAbundant breakfast but without "particularities", for example in other B&Bs you find homemade jams but if compared to the cost it's perfect as it is.\nConclusions. If I were to return to Perugia, I would go back and highly recommend it.\nRoom tip: it has 2 rooms out of 5/6 with a view of Perugia, I recommend these.

Beautiful B&B, very clean, away from the chaos but very close to Perugia. Michele and Tiziana are truly hospitable and kind. The breakfast is excellent. We spent four really pleasant days, and even our seventeen-month-old daughter enjoyed all the comforts provided and the friendliness of the hosts! We will definitely return soon.

The structure is a beautiful villa just outside Perugia. A car is essential, but it is only 5 minutes from the Bugalaio gate. We were welcomed by Michele and Tiziana, who immediately advised us on a tourist tour of Perugia and gave us some tips on parking. The rooms were spotless, there was no noise during the night, and the breakfasts consisted of desserts, fresh or pre-packaged croissants, and more. Tiziana's torta al testo is delicious and allowed us to spend 3 memorable days. Highly recommended. A hug from Gabriele and Daniela.

We spent a weekend in tranquility in an excellent context with very affable and kind people who, at the time of our return, were also concerned for us due to the bad weather of the period. Excellent cleanliness, which I, being an allergic subject, usually have difficulty with. Good position, as you are not in chaos but five minutes from the center. We will return if there is the possibility. A hug to the Petrini family from Massimiliano and Susy.
