85 %Kundenzufriedenheit*

The Pierantoni Youth Hostel is a 16th Century building located in the heart of the historical centre of the town complete with original cloisters and a private splendid garden.

Surrounded by beautiful hills, Foligno is one of the few historical centres in Umbria situated in the valley. It is characterized by its tree-lined avenues, town squares, historical buildings, gardens and religious centres-such as the Romanesque church of Saint.Maria Infraportas and the Sassovivo Abbey.

There are ample common rooms and some of the bedrooms are even decorated with original baroque frescoes depicting mythological subjects. In June and September the city relives the 17th century through the 'Giostra della Quintana' (a horse-back competition) and the Segni Barocchi music festival. More and more schools and students choose to come to Foligno every year to visit the Experimental Science Laboratory and nearby Planetary dome which is one of the most important in Italy.

A network of tourist routes connect Foligno with the Regional Parks of Colfiorito and the Subasio Regional Park which allows visitors to discover those less well-known towns of cultural interest, such as Spello, Montefalco, Bevagna, and Nocera Umbra; towns that are represented in the paintings and frescoes of the greatest Umbrian artists!
