87%Perugia Farmhouse Backpacker...

We arrived in the dark and got a little lost but it was worth it. The owner was amazingly helpful and our stay was very comfortable and relaxing. It's a little way out of town, but it's perfect if you want to relax for a few days. Highly Recommended!

Really cute little farm house and gorgeous owners. Bit cold but it is almost winter and the road getting there not the best in the rain, but try the bikes they are fun!! Anyway overall great place to relax and stay in the countryside

We were glad to find a cool place to chill out in away from the city, and extended our stay 2 nights. Staff were friendly and included guests in their day-to-day life. Probably quite hard to find in the dark as there is no signs, so arrive in daylight!

This hostel made the trip! It was such a great experience, and extremely relaxing. The place and the staff were all so welcoming. The view, and the animals topped it off! This has been our favorite hostel thus far. Thank you!!

This hostel was a lot of fun to stay at! It was hard to find since we didn't know what bus stop to get off at, but the staff came and picked up our entire group of 25 people in their own cars when we got off at the wrong bus stop. We all had a really great time! Thanks!

Great farmhouse and great staff, but this place is FAR. The bus runs once an hour and takes about 45 minutes to get into town. Nonetheless, a very cool and relaxing place. Recommended.

Arriving there after dark the very first night was a bit dodgy, we felt like walking in the fields with no lights on, but after that we really loved the place, real farm house with a pool...a bit far from the city, but easily accessible by bus...would stay again...

A welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of big city hostels, and the outdoor pool was simply lovely. The hostel is undergoing some construction after the recent addition of rooms, so it has a "not quite done" feel.close

Located outside of town (approximately 10 minutes by car or 30 minutes by bus), the Farmhouse is definitely worth the extra distance. The staff is extremely friendly and provide a warm and inviting atmosphere. Overall, the Farmhouse was definitely one of the best hostels I've stayed in!

this is an ace place to stay it may be a ways out of town but staying there was just like having a holiday away from a holiday. the hostel needs better signage though as it is a bit confusing to get there. and the buses to and from the city are quite frequent so theres no need to stay real close.

It felt like being a member of their family and the view from the pool over the Umbrian countryside and Perugia was brilliant - but is a little far from town 30 - 40 mins by bus that runs every 40 mins or so - last one just after 8:30pm from the station - but all the drivers know the stop!

Great place to stay! A little out of the city but if you want to relax as well as see the sights then this is the place to go. Was a little dissapointed as they have a Washer/Dryer advertised in the Hostel Facilities but nothing is available. Otherwise, a great place to hang for a few days at least.

The place is very relaxing and caters really well for younger travellers who like meeting new people and staying up late and chatting. We found the early last bus from Perugia a bit limiting, but the atmosphere at the hostel for staying in was warm and welcoming, if a little noisy for those of us who were more interesting in sight-seeing than parting. If you want a chilled out place to meet and get to know new people and don't mind a bit of noise then this place is for you!close
