Brufani Palace Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

We had a relaxing stay - staff were welcoming and helpful and location was close to all the main attractions. Our room had great views of the surrounding area. The toiletries in the room smell very nice and the indoor swimming pool was well maintained. The breakfast also afforded a good selection of food.

We happened to visit the pool at a time when the steam room and sauna were not in use so you may wish to check with reception before you swim if you wish to use these but it wasn't a big problem for us - I think it was because we visited the facilities later in the day.

It was in a great location. Close to everything, without being directly in the city. The hotel was lovely, old world charm. The room was a bit small, but comfortable,bathroom was great with a double vanity. Great continental breakfast, so if you book and like to have breakfast every morning, definitely worth it! The pool downstairs on the lower level was absolutely amazing. Wish we could have had spa services there. It would be the perfect place to get a massage, then enjoy the sauna and pool.

The front desk staff weren’t friendly and sometimes not helpful at all. The only front desk member that was always helpful and friendly was Andrei. The bed was so hard my back hurt . Pillows were also hard and uncomfortable. I requested an iron, which I was told is not available for use, however they could press my items for me, which I had then do for $32 euros. (Two men’s shirts, one pair of shorts, and two short sleeve blouses) a bit steep in my opinion, considering the items were pressed prior to packing and just needed touching up.

Very central, very nice old school hotel with a really good spa and pool inside. Valet service, a great and huge comfortable bed. Most staff exceptionally friendly. Good airco for those needing refreshment from the heath during the Summer months. Room service punctual and good. Amazing views across the Umbrian valley should your room face that way.

Not much. There was one really unfriendly guy who arranged and was in charge of breakfast. Other people who stayed at the hotel told me about him. But let that not stop you, the other people serving breakfast made up for it.

Beautiful old classic hotel. Well maintained. Beautiful position on the hilltop. My room had sweeping views of Perugia and the surrounding countryside. I had a nice size, comfortable room. Pleasant. King bed. Nice linens. Italy has terrible pillows. Haha Nice breakfast in a grand room. The more formal restaurant isn’t open unfortunately. They have a pool in the lower cavern area but I didn’t use it. I don’t like indoor pools, especially because they never see the sun to get sanitized. Staff friendly and helpful. The hotel parked my car in a garage. The city has many turns but it’s fairly easy to get to the hotel and then out. Close to the points of interest.

Pretty much just the pillows. Flat and not very soft!

The room had a beautiful view of Perugia and Umbria green valley. The hotel was very conveniently located at heart of the city with walking distance to almost everywhere. We walked to Fontana Maggiore, Pozzo Etrusco (Etruscan Well), University of Perugia...The breakfast was excellent with many selections. The most impressive was the hotel SPA and swimming pool. Under it's glass floor, there was Etruscan wall and part of old chamber.

The dinner at the hotel restaurant could be better.

excellent location and our room had the most amazing view overlooking the mountain. We were in a deluxe double room. some friends also staying at the hotel didn’t have as great a view and rooms varied quite a lot in terms of being updated/outdated in decor. our room was cleaned twice on the day of our friends wedding and as it got quite messy during several of us getting ready it was nice to come home late that night to clean room. the pool.

bathrooms quite outdated. for a five star and for the price you pay I would have expected newer features. also sometimes the electric room key wouldn’t work and you would have to try it multiple times before getting in.

The hotel is in an excellent location, a few steps from most sights and shops. It was very pleasant every morning after a few minutes' walk to go to Pastiiciera Sandri, have a wonderful meal here and observe the life around us in the Italian way. The Sina Brufani itself is a pleasant hotel with a nice atmosphere from earlier times, which pampers us with comfortable room furnishings and especially the best bed we have ever slept in in a 5-star hotel. The garage service, which brought our car to the garage in a flash every morning and took it back to the garage in the evening, is absolutely invaluable in a city where you can't park in the center. All hotel employees were willing to help and accommodate.

We were a little disappointed by the location of DeLuxe room No. 333, which was supposed to be with windows to the landscape, it was facing the courtyard, where we were woken up by the clinking of glass from the hotel kitchen every day before seven in the morning, it was so difficult to sleep with the window open. Despite the location of the room in the courtyard, part of the landscape could be seen here and there was a view of the dome, which was definitely pleasant.

location is the best. The hotel is at ZTL the limited traffic zone yet it is located in a place where you can easily access by car without any obstacle (such as bars) because public buses even pass by that area. (And hotel is reporting to the authority that we are their guests so we don’t get the fine. They even parked our car and brought it back to us only with fee that we pay to the hotel per night, no extra charge! ) From the hotel, we can walk to any places almost flat. I saw some escalators or elevators coming up but it doesn’t reach to the top if we opted to stay down the old town. I’m sure it was so inconvenient for us just to visit the old town. Perugia old town is not big, but surrounding medieval houses stretches wide so that it would be hard to go up by foot even you take minimetro or escalators. The best other option can be bus which stops at this hotel area. But to me, facility was really super good, and staff were all very professional, and I’d come back to this hotel if I come to Perugia again.

I loved their spa. it was free when we stayed there and no one was using it. I felt so relaxed!

The hotel is right in town! It is a beautiful hotel. Very well kept. I didn’t use the pool but it is beautiful. If you are coming to this hotel bring your bathing suit. The staff of the hotel was great, very helpful. Varleria was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was wonderful. I wish I was there with better weather so I could have used their outdoor area. Parking was easy. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Nothing

Waking to the extraordinary view, wandering through the gorgeous old town, chatting with welcoming people, good food and wine…who could ask for more? I love an old fashioned hotel and traditional services all of which Hotel Brufani delivers. I wish the property which is now a bit faded would be better kept as it used to be.

A bit shabby around the edges.
