Where to stay in Todi: the complete guide

Todi was described by an American architect as "the most liveable city in the world" for its perfect balance of human scale, historic beauty and quality of life. Perched on a hill overlooking the Tiber Valley, with the splendid Piazza del Popolo, the Temple of Consolation and an intact medieval fabric, Todi is Umbria at its most discreet and refined. Staying here gives you slow rhythms and endless panoramas.

Best areas to stay

Historic Centre

The heart of Todi around Piazza del Popolo with the Palazzo dei Priori, the Cathedral and the Palazzo del Capitano. Few but beautifully curated B&Bs and guesthouses in medieval palazzi, some apartments with valley views. The borgo's small size (10 minutes end to end) makes any position within the centre perfect. Car parks are at the edge of the walls.

Consolazione Area

The area around the Temple of Santa Maria della Consolazione (Renaissance masterpiece attributed to Bramante), at the foot of the hill. A few hotels with parking and more accessible B&Bs. A 10-minute uphill walk to the centre or 2 minutes via the covered escalators.

Tuderte Countryside

The hills around Todi, in the middle Tiber Valley, host agritourisms, restored farmhouses and country houses among olive groves and woods. 5-15 minutes from the borgo, with pools and absolute silence. The ideal choice for those seeking the quintessential Umbrian stay.

Hamlets and nearby villages (Collevalenza, Pantalla)

Small centres a few km from Todi with cheaper accommodation and an even more intimate atmosphere. Collevalenza also hosts a spa centre.

Accommodation types

  • **B&Bs in the historic centre** — Rooms in medieval palazzi with exposed beams, antique furniture and breakfast with Umbrian cakes, jams and local produce
  • **Agritourisms** — Restored stone farmhouses with panoramic pools, own production of oil, wine and vegetables. Often with in-house restaurant
  • **Apartments** — In the centre or countryside, for those wanting independence and to live the borgo's rhythms
  • **Country houses and relais** — More refined properties with spa, manicured gardens and gourmet Umbrian cuisine
  • **Hotels** — Very few, clustered in the lower area; Todi favours diffuse hospitality

Budget tips

  • Todi is still very affordable: a quality B&B in the centre costs €60-80 even in high season
  • Low season (November-March) offers significant agritourism discounts (up to 50%)
  • The Todi Festival (late August-September) is the only period when prices rise significantly
  • Agritourisms with half-board offer unbeatable value
  • Nearby villages (Massa Martana, Acquasparta) are even cheaper with connecting buses
