This has got to be one of the finest hotels I have ever stayed in, not just in terms of the building itself (an historic 18th century Italian post office tastefully converted into a hotel, yet still showcasing its architectural heritage) but most crucially the service provided by the outstanding staff. The Locanda was our base in Perugia as we spent four days exploring it and other parts of Umbria. It was so nice to come home (in every sense of that word) after a long day's adventures and just relax before dinner. And circling back to the staff, we had booked a cooking class and vineyard tour in Orvieto, and needed a driver to take us there and back. They not only hired a driver but a true gentleman who regaled us with all kinds of facts and local history that we never would have known otherwise. What a treat! Our room was spacious, modern and immaculate, with a bathroom that had a walk-in shower at least 8 feet wide with a rain head as well as a hand nozzle; so wonderful to have, especially after hiking through the hill towns during an unusually hot summer. Breakfast featured a wide assortment of delicious local meats, cheeses, pastries as well as fare for American and other tastes that fueled us all day. Can't really add anything else except to say that when I return to Perugia, the Locanda della Posta is far and away my first choice. Grazie mille to Hamid, Samantha and the entire staff.
