Where Sina Brufani is, and why the location matters
Sina Brufani stands on Piazza Italia 12, at the head of Corso Vannucci in Perugia’s medieval center, and has been a hotel since 1884. It is described as the only five-star hotel in the old town, with 94 rooms and suites furnished in a classic style. Rocca Paolina and Corso Vannucci are each listed at about a 1-minute walk, so the evening passeggiata (stroll) starts at the door.
What sets it apart is below ground. The hotel retains the foundations of an ancient Etruscan settlement, lit and visible behind a transparent panel, and the Sina Wellness Club has an indoor pool under medieval vaults, with a sauna and Turkish bath. A roof terrace looks out across Umbria, and Collins restaurant and bar cover dining. Parking is on site at €20 per day (listed October 2026), with limited spaces.
Getting there
- From Perugia Airport (PEG): Sant’Egidio is about a 21-minute drive as listed. A hotel shuttle runs at €72 per vehicle, one way (listed October 2026).
- By train: Perugia Station is about a 20-minute walk as listed, or a short taxi ride.
- By MiniMetrò: the Pincetto station is about a 6-minute walk.

Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere
A good fit if you want Perugia’s top address for a special trip, value a spa with a pool after walking the hills, and like being on the main square. Room service and the front desk run 24 hours, and check-out is at noon.
Look elsewhere if you travel with a pet, since pets are not allowed, or you need a crib, which the listing says is not provided. Breakfast is listed as an extra charge, and with limited parking spaces, drivers should confirm a spot before arriving.
