In a unique location within the historical centre of Perugia, the Hotel Brufani
Palace that has hosted the plethora of royal families, politicians and magnates of high
finance for over one hundred years has once again returned to its unique splendour.
The Halls with their painted ceilings and great stone fireplaces, the Rooms and the Suites
furnished with antiques and precious cloths transmit an immediate sense of warmth, elegance and
refinement. From its Windows and Balconies, one can enjoy a breathtaking view that recalls the
softness of a Renaissance painting filled with evocative images of the great valleys of
Umbria.
HistoryGiacomo Brufani, originally from Assisi, came from a peasant family, but at an early age he
developed a pronounced aptitude for tourism. In fact he used to act as an assistant to tourists
visiting Umbria by stagecoach. He would tie the horses, see to animals' needs and then take
the people on tours of the various towns. But Mr Brufani decided to offer more qualified
hospitality and in 1884 he built the Hotel which was to immortalize his name. All the greatest
names of high society and nobility of Europe vied with each other for a Room at this
Hotel, the latest in modernity and luxury. Among the recent most important guests, Albert of
Monaco and the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother of England.
The Brufani Palace Hotel is situated on the top of Perugia's highest hill
overlooking the lust green valley below.
The Collins, on the Terrace in the summer, is an intimate, private Restaurant, whose
exceptional cuisine boasts typical Umbrian truffle-based dishes and an excellent selection of
wines.
With their painted ceilings and large fireplaces, our Salons furnished with prized pieces,
boasts wonderful view on the Umbriam valley. They are ideal for receptions and banquets up to
200 people.
