What a great idea to open a farmhouse hostel overlooking Umbria´s country side -- this is Perugia Farmhouse Backpacker Hostel (a quiet, relaxed place with a swimming pool and a few farm animals).
Location
Taking the local bus from the train station and walking ten minutes from the bus stop to the hostel will cost you up to fifty minutes of your day. If you decide to stay at the Perugia Farmhouse Hostel, make sure to write down the "How to get there" facts to make things easier.
Rooms and Bathrooms
Clean and basic dorms and private rooms come with common bathrooms. The dorms have metal beds and lockers. Here you will experience the quietest sleep in Italy, because there is no traffic around at all. Most of the hostel's rooms and bathrooms are newly built.
Common Spaces
The fully equipped kitchen is in the common room, making it easy to meet fellow travelers watching TV, reading a book, or connecting to the internet on the computer or via Wi-Fi, both offered for free. BBQ nights hosted by the friendly owner and a clean outdoor swimming pool are a big bonus for those who stay at the hostel. Free breakfast is served in the common room -- the eggs come from the farm's chicken. Say hello to the goats and the goose outside the hostel, take a walk through the country, or do a day trip into Perugia or to Assisi.
Summary
This is a beautiful hostel on top of a hill. The hostel experience is purely for those who do not mind accommodation out in the country.
