Relais San Clemente  

In the Umbrian countryside on the banks of the Tevere River, just outside Perugia (Bosco) and about 7 km from the historic city centre. This 4-star relais sits in a former Benedictine convent and villa with a chapel dating back to 1045. Nearby highlights include Parco di Porta Sant'Angelo, Arco Etrusco, Church of San Michele Arcangelo, Chiesa di San Severo, the University of Perugia and easy rail access from the tiny romantic station on the monastery grounds.

Historic spaces meet classic Umbrian style. The property has 64 air-conditioned rooms furnished in traditional decor with modern comforts like satellite TV, minibars, safes and complimentary wired and wireless internet. The chapel still sees occasional mass, gardens and veranda dining look over the grounds, and daily housekeeping keeps things easy.

Two outdoor pools, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a football pitch and a disc golf course make this a real active retreat. There’s a solarium and wellness services, a children’s playroom, ping-pong and a poolside bar. The hotel is pet-friendly, family-friendly and offers free self-parking — wake up to river-breeze mornings and garden views.

A business center, conference hall and event facilities cater to meetings and small conferences. Express check-in/out and concierge services are available, plus complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout the property.

An on-site restaurant serves satisfying authentic Umbrian cuisine and meals can be enjoyed on the veranda overlooking the gardens. You’ll also find a bar, a café and a poolside bar, with limited room service for quieter nights in.
