Following in the noble footsteps of England's Queen Mother and the Prince of Monaco, you are in the finest of company when you stay at the Hotel Brufani Palace. This symbol of exclusivity resides in the central Italian hillside town of Perugia, gazing across the sweeping beauty of the Tiber Valley. A member of Leading Small Hotels of the World, this elite property dates back to 1884, and its original parquet floors, great stone fireplaces and antique chandeliers recall the grandeur of the Belle Epoque.

Hotel is fabulous with all the original features preserved and maintained. The swimming pool in the basement was lovely, set over windows showing roman ruins. Great breakfast. Room was spacious and comfortable. Easy walking distance to the main piazze of the town with restaurants and shops.

First time in Italy and first stop was Perugia. Beautiful city and will be returning soon. When I do return I will be staying at Sina Brufani. Beautiful hotel with great rooms and views. Staff is fantastic. Location is great. A couple of blocks from the city center. But, I especially want to thank the staff at the Collins bar. They went over and above. They made me feel welcome and I felt like I was among friends. I highly recommend Hotel Sina Brufani.

Excellent hotel, delicious breakfast, and outstanding service. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. They even had the patience to speak Italian with me even though I’m only starting to learn the language, which I truly appreciated. This is my second time staying here, and it definitely won’t be the last. I will without a doubt always come back to this hotel whenever I return. The breakfast, service, location, rooms, and cleanliness were all excellent. Thank you so much for all your kindness and attention during my stay. Sofía Paredes 🇲🇽

We recently stayed at the Sina Brufani in Perugia for 4 nights at the end of our travels around Tuscany. POSITIVES: - The hotel location is excellent -with very easy walking access to everything in Perugia - We stayed in a “Signature Deluxe” room where the room size was very good and clearly newly renovated NOT SO GOOD: - Bathroom is a good size, but by installing independent shower and bath, the shower is a little cramped. Poor design. - Air conditioning in the room was crazy, and we eventually found out the main temperature control resides with the front-desk. This is very frustrating for clients who either freeze or get to hot. - Room description on the web is "These spacious rooms offer two windows overlooking the green Umbrian valleys or the beautiful Piazza Italia". Attached photo shows the view from our room, which I leave for others to judge, but was not what I expected. NEGATIVES: - A lot of the hotel seems (end April, 2026) to be in the middle of refurbishment, leaving guests with the sensation they are in the middle of an ongoing project. That’s not a 5* experience. - Some areas such as the walk from the reception desk to the stairs / elevator to rooms look bare and neglected - or you may bump into painters on the staircase - One seriously bad experience was the breakfast buffet. The buffet ran out of items every single day we were there, and we had to wait for things to be replenished. It should not matter that there is a group or 15 or 20 guests in the hotel who had come down earlier for breakfast – this is a 5* luxury hotel. OVERALL: Clearly this hotel could be a 5* luxury hotel – and clearly it was in the past. It seems to have that old world charm trying to shine through. But as of May 2026, the refurbishment seems to be a bit lost in terms of what it is doing and what it wants to be. Maybe the hotel should have closed completely for refurbishment – and opened shiny and new, rather than having guests experience a hotel that has lost its charm and is still not finished.
