Relais San Clemente

On Umbria’s Tevere riverbank just outside Perugia, in the Bosco area. This former Benedictine convent sits about 7 km from Perugia city centre and makes a handy base for day trips to Assisi, Spoleto and Todi. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, with a tiny romantic train station on the monastery grounds.

Housed in a restored monastery with an on-site chapel dating back to 1045, the hotel blends classic Umbrian décor with modern comforts. Rooms feature air conditioning, satellite TV, minibars, desks and private bathrooms (some with bidets); many overlook gardens or the river. Stroll the grounds, sit on the veranda, or catch a train straight into Perugia from the property.

Two outdoor swimming pools, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a football pitch and a disc golf course keep active guests happy. There’s a solarium and beauty/wellness options, ping-pong and play areas for kids, plus poolside bar and lounge spaces. Free self-parking, transfers, concierge services, an on-site gift shop and elevator access round out the stay.

A business centre, conference hall and event facilities handle meetings and special events. Complimentary wired and wireless internet, express check-in/check-out and on-site parking make corporate stays straightforward.

The hotel restaurant highlights authentic Umbrian cuisine and lets you dine on a veranda overlooking the gardens. There’s also a bar, poolside bar, café and limited-hours room service for relaxed meals and local flavours.
