Agriturismo Perugini is a farm stay set in the green countryside of Cesena, in Emilia-Romagna, with functional rooms and a Romagna-style restaurant. Guests praise the food, the cleanliness and the space for children, though some criticise portions and the bill. It suits families, couples and travellers with pets.

Where Agriturismo Perugini is
Agriturismo Perugini is on Via Settecrociari, in the countryside of Cesena, in the province of Forlì-Cesena. It is a quiet, green place, meant for those who want to be close to nature.
The description talks about a strategic position for reaching Cesena's historic centre and the beaches of the Riviera Romagnola. To get around, you really need a car, since it is a country property.
How the rooms and outdoor spaces are
The rooms at Agriturismo Perugini, in Cesena, are described as rustic and comfortable. One guest calls them very functional and very clean, with no great pretensions.
- The greenery. People talk about a well-kept lawn, with tables outdoors and indoors, and large gardens.
- For children. One guest remembers a play area, useful for families.
- Animals. The description says the place is suitable for travellers with pets too.
- The veranda. Some reviews mention a veranda and a renovated dining room, with a romantic touch.
The reviews talk far more about the restaurant than the rooms, so I know less about the latter.
What guests say
The Google rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 410 reviews. That is a good number of votes, and the picture is clear. The restaurant is the real star of the comments.
Many guests praise the cured meat and crostini starters, the homemade first courses, strozzapreti and desserts, as well as the wine. Some mention attention to gluten-free diets, and others appreciate the friendly staff and the farm's own produce, with an organic approach. One guest finds the rooms very functional and clean, with plenty of greenery around.
There are critical voices too, which you will find in the next section.
What to know before booking
Some one-star reviews are harsh. They concern the dinner at the restaurant rather than the overnight stay, but it is worth knowing.
| What works | What gets criticised |
|---|---|
| Romagna cooking, cured meats and homemade first courses | Portions described as small by some |
| Friendly staff, well-kept lawn | Slow service and a thinly staffed dining room |
| Play area for children | High bill, with the cover charge adding up |
| Clean, functional rooms | Heating was off during one dinner |
More than one guest mentions a bill that is high for the quantities, and a grill to avoid. My advice is to ask for the menu and prices before sitting down, especially for a group dinner.
Who Agriturismo Perugini is for
I would choose it for a family with children, or a couple who want to sleep in the countryside and enjoy a long lunch of Romagna cooking. It is also fine for those travelling with an animal.
It is not my pick for anyone wanting total silence in the evening, if there is an event on, or for anyone who watches the restaurant budget closely. If you want to compare other places in Emilia-Romagna, have a look at Palazzo della Racchetta in Ferrara, or Palazzo Bianchi in Parma.
What to do in Cesena and nearby
From this farm stay, Cesena and its historic centre are within easy reach by car, and the beaches of the Riviera Romagnola are not far. For a holiday in Romagna it is a base that lets you alternate sea and countryside.
Do not forget that the table is part of the experience. Several guests come specially to eat, even from outside the city, and one says he came from Bologna and does not regret it. Book your table in advance if you want to dine, especially at weekends.
