Beautiful garden retreat from which to explore around Perugia.
Le Balze is the ideal location for exploring the area around Perugia. Set in a beautiful garden, it is quiet, safe and peaceful, yet close enough to everything to make it convenient, especially if you have a car. Valentina is a gracious and beautiful host. Her instructions about how to reach the place and the information she provides about the area are extremely clear and useful. Il Rustico is spacious, well equipped and comfortable. I used the place for as a base to explore the surrounding area, not just Perugia. Assisi is an extraordinary experience, Lake Trasemino tranquil and restorative, an Spello and Gubbio all worth a visit. I thank Valentina for her hospitality and very much recommend staying at Le Balze. As a side note, an added treat as an Australian was seeing a squirrel in the garden! Too cute!

Very helpful host
Valentino was the most gracious, kind, accommodating and responsive host we have ever encountered. Every question we had was answered almost immediately. The property is accurately described as rustic. But it was clean, amply appointed, and had a certain charm. The grounds around the property we're small but very pretty. The property is a few minutes drive outside of Perugia, But our host gave us excellent directions on how to get there easily and where to park. She also provided us with a list of recommended restaurants and activities. I would recommend this property to anyone.

Beautiful location, wonderful hosts
We enjoyed a very relaxing stay at Le Balze. Valentina, the host, was simply wonderful. She went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed, even running us into town on a couple of occasions. The property is exactly as described, the gardens very relaxing and it's perfectly placed to explore the Umbrian countryside. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Best choice in Perugia
We had an amazing stay at Le Balze. We enjoyed the outdoor pool and the beautiful view of the garden. Location wise, this place is perfect. Very near to a pizza bar, a grocery shop and close to the old city of Perugia. The host Valentina was fantastic. She was really helpful and made our stay comfortable. We would definitely stay at this apartment again next time we visit Perugia.

Convenient location, charming hostess
Very nice location on the hills just south of Perugia. Lovely gardens, wonderful services nearby, outstanding butcher and small grocery next-door to the butcher. Wonderful farm raised vegetables a short distance Down the road. Great jump off place to explore the hill towns, medieval history, and Etruscan history of the area. The hostess was very charming and helpful.

Paradise a stone’s throw from the city centre
Our one month stay here was absolutely amazing. Everything from the outdoor space, pool and apartment exceeded our expectations and long family dinners on our outdoor patio will remain one of our favourite memories from our time in Umbria. Valentina and her husband are excellent hosts and you can tell that it is a real pleasure for them to share their paradise. I travelled here with my sister, my two young children and my husband and we found there was ample space and the apartment had everything we needed for a month stay. The apartment and grounds are impeccably clean! Even though we know the area well, Valentina gave us some great recommendations on local shops and markets. We were sad to leave this paradise and would absolutely recommend it if you are visiting Perugia! Great for families!

Spacious apartment in beautiful garden
We had a lovely week staying at Le Balze. The location was perfect for visiting all the local medieval villages and towns and Perugia was just about close enough to visit in the evenings for meals out. We particularly loved La Taverna and Risorante Del Sole which had the most amazing panoramic views. We stayed in Il Rustico which was spacious for two people and well equipped. Valentina was very helpful indeed and booked us cabs, reserved us tables and generally gave us very good advice in terms of getting around. We made use of the BBQ area and outdoor kitchen which was a real bonus and got really attached to the resident dogs! Sadly we were unable to use the swimming pool as it was unheated, but apart from this everything was perfect! Thank you very much Valentina.

Tranquil getaway
Valentina is a very charming and helpful host, the villa and in particular the gardens are beautiful, with views down over the Umbrian hills. A short distance from the centre of Perugia- highly recommend!

ein traum!
Ich hab leider nur eine Nacht in die Balze verbracht weil ich unterwegs war aber ich hoffe ich werde bald wieder kommen können für eine längere Zeit! Es lohnt sich hier Urlaub zu machen einfach für den Garten selbst !! Ich kann es nur empfehlen! Die Wohnung ist sehr stylisch und richtig sauber!(noch schöner als in den Bildern!) Die Balze sind sehr nah und sehr gut an den Stadt Zentrum verbunden und auch sehr nah an die Ausfahrt Richtung Assisi, (auch sehr praktisch!!!) Also wer nach Perugia(und Gegend)möchte auf jeden Fall hier kommen!!!
