SINA Brufani

Perfect location. Middle of everything. Best spot for viewing the city from the small park in front of it. Very gentle and smiling service starting with check in. Nice breakfast. Special thanks to gentlemen in the bar 😀 I loved my room and the hotel generally although it might be good to do a ‘small make up’. It fits so much to the ‘air’ of the city. If I ever have a chance to come back, I definitely would like to stay here again.

What a wonderful hotel. Stunning location, astounding views, wonderful attentive staff and great food and drink. And the underground pool is sensational. The rooms are supremely elegant in a traditional Italian and the whole experience oozes class, style and comfort. However, as the title suggests, little things matter. The dressing gowns are way too small and a bit threadbare. Same with the towels. And offering powdered milk in the room for tea and coffee really does belong to a bygone, less good age. If it wasn’t for these it would be a five star review.

This is a beautiful, luxury hotel in a great location. The hotel sits at the top of Perugia, with benches outside in a park like setting overlooking the city. Our room was an upgrade to a suite, and it was huge, with a couch, a fireplace, two floor to ceiling windows and two juliette balconies. The marble bathroom had two sinks and a walk in shower. We had dinner one night outside al fresco and the food was delicious. The hotel is a short walk to many stores and restaurants in town.

This hotel is in the perfect location in Perugia. It is just at the edge of city center, making everything convenient. Several times during our stay we just took strolls up to the fountain area. Perugia itself as a tourist area didn’t seem like much at all. We used it as out base for touring the area but if we were to do it again we would not stay in that city. The hotel rooms are large and the beds comfortable. Everything was quiet because it is at the edge of the old city center, which is great. What this hotel desperately needs is a sprucing up. The carpet in our room was very worn and spotted. The couch and chair felt and looked like they had not been replaced in 30 years or more. So, you always had a feeling of mustiness. The air conditioning worked good enough for an old hotel, but had to be pumped on high at all times. Our room came with a breakfast buffet which was very good. If we ever returned to Perugia, we would likely still stay here, but know it is average and comfortable and safe, but nothing beyond that. One really cool item is the basement pool area build in ruins.

Wonderful hotel, great friendly staff from management to room staff.|Position 5 stars views are stunning. If you don't get a room with a view, then it's no problem as the hotel is positioned at the highest point of Perugia, and there are great views everywhere.|Nice pool with glass floor looking onto Etruscan ruins.|Breakfast is faultless, run by a meticulous lady who conducted the busy breakfast time like a fine tuned Opera.

The hotel first opened its doors in 1884 when celebrated hôtelier Giacomo Brufani spared no expense to emulate the finest luxury hotels of Europe. Today the honey-coloured facade still houses elegant guest rooms and magnificient public spaces. On my last stay I was upgraded to a suite on the 4th floor of the Bellavista (the 1930s extension of the hotel) that indeed provides a "bella vista" giving guests breathtaking views of the nearby hills and valley. Both the corridors and the accommodations on the 4th floor feature exposed wooden beams, tastefully hand-painted walls and original artwork in a blend of pastel hues forming the basis of a relaxed stay. The suite was appointed with a stunning marble bathroom with double basin and jacuzzi, a king bed and separate sitting and working area with oversized desk and two large modern LED TVs. Designed over a century ago to meet the demands of travelling nobility Hotel Brufani continues to deliver hospitality at its best.

We called yesterday on our way to the hotel to enquire about our parking and other stuff. They didn’t answer the phone for 30 min. When we checked in room was super warm so we called reception for 30 min. No answer in spa sauna and hammam was cold and turned off. Honestly this is no way near a 5 star hotel.

Pros: Great location at the end of the main pedestrian walking street and opposite the Rocco Paolina. Hotel has amazing views, very friendly breakfast staff, attentive concierges who take the car to and from the garage efficiently. Rooms nice. Bed very comfortable. Stayed in room 234. Cons: Breakfast offering was pretty good but some of the 'hot food' was cold by 8am so not very desirable. Shower over bath and it's a tall bath, so lucky I have long legs. Short people or the elderly stand no chance of climbing into bath. The hotel is quite dated and needs to be renovated but it is still nice.
