We, Vera Wittenberg and Leo van der Staak, have lived in Perugia since 2006. Gli Archi was once a farmhouse, with stables at the ground floor and a living area at the first floor. Characteristic are the masonry arches in the original stables, hence the name "Gli Archi" (the arches) We have tried with the restoration to keep the soul of the house and to revitalize it. This means also letting others enjoy this place. We look forward to your arrival!

The cottage has everything you could possibly need, is spotless and cozy. Perugia is not far. There is a nice pool at the cottage.
The host and hostess are nice and helpful without being intrusive.

There is nothing wrong with the facilities in and around the house. Everything is there. Only the location is such that you have to pay for absolutely everything. 10 min by car. Also the hygiene of the house was less than what...

Dear tenant. Unfortunately, this is the first, negative review in 14 years of rental. We have a guestbook full of positive and enthusiastic reactions. You have not written anything in this. We do not recognize ourselves in this...
