SINA Brufani

We recently stayed here for a few nights. The location is excellent, overlooking Perugia and surrounds. Excellent service and we were very grateful for the room upgrade. The room we got was spacious and very well appointed. Massive king size bed and a separate lounge area. The bathroom was lovely and modern. The reason for 4 stars rather than 5 was because the common areas felt a little dated and in need of a refurb, particularly in comparison to other 5 star hotels in Tuscany. Other than that we can not fault our stay. The hotel is close the everything but it also feels slightly out of the hustle and bustle which is nice.

This was our second stay at Sina Brufani, and once again it exceeded our expectations. The hotel is set in a beautiful historic building filled with the charm of the “good old days,” an atmosphere my wife and I truly love. One of the biggest advantages is the private garage. Our sincere thanks to the staff who kindly brought our car every morning and parked it again each evening. The location is perfect, and the view from the terrace is absolutely stunning. Our room was comfortable, spotless, and exceptionally well maintained – it’s been a long time since I’ve seen hotel staff move the beds to vacuum underneath. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful, served in a lovely room by a gracious and highly professional lady who made every morning a pleasure. Highly recommended.

The Sina Brufani hotel in Perugia does not currently deserve a five-star rating. It is evident that it was once a prestigious establishment, but that standard belongs to the past. Today, it functions mainly as a venue for the city’s social events, while the overall quality of its facilities and services falls noticeably short. My husband and I stayed at the hotel during the last week of November 2025. On the positive side, the interior decoration of the rooms is very pleasant; the staff is kind and attentive; the breakfast is well stocked, with good-quality ingredients; and the views over the valley from the room are truly splendid. However, the negative aspects are numerous and significant. The common areas were under renovation, creating a neglected and noisy environment, particularly during breakfast. Construction debris was visible in the corridors, and there was a general sense of disorder, including improvised storage areas with equipment located near the hallway of our room. It is also inexplicable that the hotel reception is located in a high-traffic passageway, lacking any sense of welcome or privacy. The front desk consists of just a couple of desks and has an impersonal, poorly designed appearance, more reminiscent of a government office than the reception area of a luxury hotel. The elevators further reinforce this impression of neglect. They are very small, outdated, and poorly maintained, with a worn and antiquated appearance that is inconsistent with the standards expected of a five-star hotel. In addition, the hotel has serious electrical system issues. In the first room we were assigned, all the lights would shut off spontaneously, leaving the room completely dark for about fifteen minutes. After several complaints, we were moved to a second, larger room. However, even there, some areas remained in semi-darkness because no one knew how to turn on the lights. Finally, the soundproofing of the windows is clearly inadequate. All street noise was audible, which became especially problematic when a laundry delivery truck parked outside the hotel to deliver and collect linens. As a result, we were awakened at 6:45 a.m. by the noise—an unacceptable experience for a hotel that presents itself as a high-end establishment.

We were a family group with 11 people in six rooms. The Brufani was first rate in helping us set up reservations and going out of their way to be flexible with our arrival and changes along the way. The staff were incredibly kind. The hotel is in a fantastic central location. The rooms were comfortable, spacious, clean and well appointed for the price point. There are spectacular views from the rooms we had. The breakfast that came with the room was excellent and everyone enjoyed the pool and bar. The hotel would be a very good 4* by U.S. standards and we found it to be a great combination of value and comfort.

We recently returned to Sina Brufani for our second stay, and it once again reminded us why we love this hotel so much. Set in a magnificent historic building, it offers an atmosphere filled with elegance and old-world charm.|The private garage is a major convenience, and we truly appreciated the staff who brought our car each morning and parked it again in the evening. The hotel’s central location and the breathtaking terrace views are additional highlights that make the stay even more special.|Our room was spacious, perfectly clean, and meticulously maintained. It’s rare these days to see housekeeping move the beds to vacuum underneath – a detail that speaks volumes. Breakfast was delicious, abundant, and beautifully served. The lovely lady overseeing the dining room greeted us each morning with warmth and professionalism, making breakfast a daily highlight.|A wonderful stay once again – we look forward to returning.

This was indeed a 5 Star stay on every level. The room, the exquisite food selection all cooked to perfection. The pool and saunas was another favorite. I love, love, love the intimate cleanser used at the Brufani Hotel in Perugia, and would love to know the maker so I can order some! The historic 5-Star hotel is located in the heart of the Medieval City and pack full of breathtaking sights to behold. This is the perfect place to enjoy being treated like royalty. Absolutely everyone (all staff) make you feel like you are the only one there to be cared for. If you have a wish, they want to make it come true! The front desk associates are superb and will help you plan our your day with the many things to do right there...or frankly anywhere in Perugia. I hated to leave!!!

Staying at the Sina Brufani is an experience of timeless elegance and historic charm in the heart of Perugia. A beautifully preserved period palace, refined rooms, breathtaking views over the Umbrian valley and one of the most atmospheric spas in the city, with a panoramic pool set among ancient arches. Professional and discreet service, excellent breakfast and a unique, timeless atmosphere. A true icon of Perugia’s hospitality.

We stayed here for 4 days in October. The room we had was upgraded to a suite so was really good. Fantastic views over Perugia and the surrounding countryside. The service in the hotel was excellent as was the food we had. The staff were really helpful at all times. Thank you all.
