Beyond my imagination and forever cherished....

Charming place, immaculate, and breakfast is an adventure with so many marvelous offerings. Sadit was our server, and welcomed us each morning with love and attention to detail. Sadit Loja and the front desk attendant Valerina were the quintessential professionals who made our stay feel like we were royalty. The wellness center is indeed a real jewel of the Brufani Palace, with the heated indoor pool built under the Etruscan vaults. The steam-room, and the sauna are divine. The location is supreme and only steps out front you have a panoramic view of the majestic mountains, and many shoppes and restaurants. Apreitivo hour is a time to sit in the piazza and savor the moment. It's no wonder why such Royalty as Queen Elizabeth, and many other notables chose the Brufani Palace in Perugia, Italy as it is most definitely a supreme choice.

An excellent hotel - beautiful building and location; scrupulously clean; lovely room (junior suite); and charming, helpful staff. And the ‘valet parking’ is well worth the 20 Euros, particularly when one arrives at night during a wine festival… Delightful - highly recommended!

Lovely classic-style hotel. Friendly staff. Great cleaners. In the old town but at the edge. Superb view from Umbria - you could see for miles. Breakfast ok. Didn’t eat there but loads of restaurants nearby. Stayed 5nights. Great based for visiting other umbrian towns eg Assisi, Spello, Gubbio by train and bus.

We liked everything about the property. We have stayed in Perugia before but the Sina Brufani far exceeded the other hotels we stayed in. It is ideally situated with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. The staff were all friendly and helpful, the swimming pool perfect for cooling down after a days sightseeing and the food and cocktails excellent. We will difinitely stay in the Sina Brufani next time we visit Umbria.

misleading

5 stars on paper. In practice, looks like they left it as is from the previous millennium. beds/mattresses are hard as a rock, shower leaking everywhere. mirror in bathroom about to fall, wind whistling through windows all night. Every time a door closes in the hallway it feels like your door is abouts to burst. breakfast... cold scrambled eggs and bacon. dry pastry. parking... They state that parking is available, but they don't mention that it's quite limited in capacity and that you should call firsts to verify... the best they'll do then is to give you a €4 euro discount for a public parking that is located down the mountain.

Great location but running it on the cheap

Hotel did not have AC. They can only do heating or cooling and they decided to switch over to heating. It was nowhere near cool enough for that and we had to have windows open and they brought us a fan. Lots of noise and a bright room. The hotel also charged us $60 because we had our two kids with us even though we had a suite with a pullout couch. Woman at front desk was super rude about it. It’s a great location and cool old building but they are running it cheap and nickle and diminish you.

The hotel is in a great location. However, the waiter we had at COLLINS, the hotel’s marquis restaurant, was a real jerk. We were the only diners until one more couple arrived with their grandson but for 20 minutes we were the only folks in the dining room. Unlike other waiters everywhere in Italy, this waiter either hates his job or hates the customers. We used our sub par Italian to order and he rebuked us and said to use only English because our Italian was not understood. How could he not comprehend phrases like (vino Rossi, vino Bianca, or aqua mineral natural. He was a jerk. He treated the other couple with equal indifference and surliness. As for the rooms, they were a bit snappy BUT the worst was the bed in each of our rooms.. It was so hard that Torquemada must have built it for the Spanish Inquisition.. The air conditioner did not work and no one would fix it. We were told that the rooms felt cool enough. No one could explain how the television functioned and a simple request to demonstrate the volume control was met with an incredulous, “ we don’t know, just try different things.” The worst was the last night when the water didn’t work. We had no water from 11 pm until morning. At 11 pm I called the front desk to inform them that the water did not work and the front desk man said” We are aware and we will try to repair it”. We did get an accommodation on the bill for the water night and an early check out but only after making a fuss. Pricey and Bad

Sweet suite upgrade!

Wow! This is my second time at this hotel, and it is absolutely beautiful. I was upgraded to a suite on check in, and the room was absolutely beautiful. Excellent view. Our only issue was that the town was preparing for a Jazz Festival. It was difficult to drive to the front door to the hotel. However, the bell staff could not have made it easier for us. They took care of our car and bags, and all we had to do was go to our room. This is an historical and very beautiful hotel in a gorgeous city. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Lovely hotel in Perugia

This is a lovely upscale hotel in Perugia city center. Walkable to tons of shopping and restaurants. There was a medevil parade going on when we arrived so we were unable to drive up to the hotel. The walk to get there was long and incredibly steep so we were unable to get our luggage in until later in the evening. Oscar at the front desk was very kind to a slightly hot and irritated guest (me!) and made the situation so much easier. We ended up very much enjoying the parade and although it was a slight inconvenience was no reflection on the hotel.
There is a very cool underground pool and sauna. We had it to ourselves the entire time & it’s a don’t miss!! So cool & nice to relax after a day of exploring.
The breakfast was very nice, a ton of options and great service.
Definitely recommend!

The Brufani is one of the oldest hotels in Perugia. The location is very centrally located, yet up on the Hill so not too congested. My room was a bit tired looking from a design standpoint, but it was an oversized suite overlooking the entire valley below and a medieval tower just feet away. Ask for room 138.
They also have a lovely outdoor terrace for the perfect place for an aperitivo. The included breakfast is wonderful and the staff fantastic. I would definitely recommend this hotel. And stay there again. Perugia is a great base to stay and do trips around the Umbrian region. Simply Stunning and less crowds than Tuscany.

VIVA BRUFANI!!

What an amazing experience. The hotel itself is beautiful and so well maintained. Rooms and bathrooms are small, as you would expect in a hotel of this vintage but maintained to perfection. I have been to other properties like this that were showing their age, but not Brufani. You don’t see many cloth wall coverings these days, but it was gorgeous and gave a feeling of stepping back to a more gracious and hospitable era.

However, the real “F” as in fabulous for this hotel comes from the staff. Everyone we encourage tweed simply could not have been any more welcoming, gracious and enormously helpful. These people are all well trained and seem to actually enjoy having people like us as guests. A big shout out in particular to the front desk and bell help. Best I have seen anywhere in a very long time. We will most definitely be back.

We had the opportunity to stay at Sina Brufani for two nights in July 2023. Obviously it was an old prestigious hotel in the middle of the Umbria region Some furnishings were old design, but the beds were modern and comfortable. I actually marveled at the efforts that had to have been undertaken to modernize the building with great showers, and good air conditioning which is a must at this time of year. The location and the view was amazing. It was very close to the primary shopping and dining options in Perugia. And the staff was so pleasant and helpful. If given an opportunity to return to the area, we would definitely stay here again.

The rooms were a bit tired and the internet was absolutely terrible. We kept losing our signals during conference calls. However, the biggest issue was that we didn’t know it would be Umbria Jazz Festival. We had to park a mile away and walk in the heat with our bags. I was surprised the hotel did not provide advanced notice of the issue as it was impossible to reach the hotel other than on foot and at a great distance.

First, to start with the positive. The views from the hotel property are amazing. The location to shopping and restaurants was perfect. The breakfast each day was very nice and convenient. The bartender made good cocktails and was very friendly.

For the negative. We reserved a superior room and the photos on the website are not the same room we received. It was the smallest room they have and we looked out to another building so it was very dark. Maybe it was due to the fact that we checked in pretty late but they said that's all they had available besides a suite that would cost us an extra $320 per night! They told us we'd have to deal with Expedia direct. Frustrating. We were super tired as this was the last leg of our 3 week vacation and decided we wouldn't spend that much time in our room so we dropped it. We did send a few items to laundry so we would have clean clothes for the last 3 days of our trip. Upon checkout, they charged us $175 dollars for laundry. We sent half our suitcase to be washed on the cruise ship and it was like $65. CRAZY!

Great location, food, aging, small rooms

Brufani is a historic hotel right atop Perugia overlooking everything. The location is perfect. The staff is friendly. The room was tiny. Do not look at the pictures of palace like rooms on the advertising. Standard rooms are quite small, smaller than most modern hotels. Bathroom is so small that it is difficult to squeeze by the sink to fit in the shower. The restaurant food is overpriced but amazing. The free breakfast is great for croissants and coffee but the hot eggs and bacon everyday are not very good and boring. The breakfast is weak compared to Nordic countries’ hotels, for example. The cleaning staff is great. Inside the hotel shows it’s age with cracked marble and other signs of wear but it is beautiful in so many respects.
