Hotel Priori Secret Garden
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Hotel Priori Secret Garden is worth booking if location is your priority: it sits about a minute from Fontana Maggiore and guests rate the location 9.8. Skip it if you need a roomy bedroom or lots of luggage space, as many guests find the rooms tight.

This is our Best Value pick in Perugia. It has four official stars and a guest score of 9.0 out of 10 from 1,452 reviews, the most reviews of our three picks in the city.
It suits couples and short city breaks where you want to step outside and be at the main sights straight away. The property lists a gym, family rooms, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a terrace, and it is tagged as pet friendly, though the pet policy needs confirming.
It is less suited to long stays with big suitcases. Room size is the most common complaint, and some guests mention limited space for luggage.
Location and getting around
The address is Via Vermiglioli 3, in the old town. Guests rate the location 9.8 out of 10, and the walking times explain why.
Palazzo dei Priori and Fontana Maggiore are each about 0.1 km away, roughly a minute on foot. Perugia Cathedral is about 0.2 km away, around 3 minutes. These are straight-line estimates, but at this range the difference is small.
Parking is not listed among the facilities. If you are arriving by car, ask the hotel where to park and what it costs before you book.
What guests say
Location is the first thing guests praise: a central spot in the historic old town, a short walk from the main square.
Breakfast is the second. Guests describe a varied buffet of sweet and savoury items served on a rooftop terrace. The listed breakfast options include gluten-free and buffet.
On the downside, room size divides opinion. Some rooms are spacious, but many guests find theirs tight, with little room for luggage.
Price and value against our other Perugia picks
The reference price was €177.36 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room. The median of the hotels we compared was €141.00, so this is not a cheap option. Treat the figure as a reference, not a live quote, and check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Hotel Iris, is a two-star at 8.4 and was €89 a night. Our Luxury pick, Rosetta Hotel Perugia Tapestry Collection By Hilton, is a five-star with the same 9.0 score and was €199.95 a night.
Be honest with yourself about that last gap. For about €23 more per night, the five-star option offers the same guest score. Priori Secret Garden makes sense if its spot by Fontana Maggiore and its rooftop breakfast appeal to you, or if the Luxury pick is full or pricier on your dates.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible hotels in Perugia. This one shared first place on guest score, and with 1,452 reviews its rating is well backed.
Our Best Value choice balances score, review count and price, so it is not necessarily the cheapest hotel. Here, location carried a lot of weight.
