The hotel with the best view, and also with the highest prices. The only five star lodging option in Perugia, the Brufani is run like some chic Milanese hotel, complete with uniformed doormen and check in counters. At the lobby is also a very well done up cafe, albeit with sky high prices.
If you are only staying for a day or two, and don't plan on coming back again, it's worth charring the pocket a bit for the Brufani experience. You will live to never forget the charming sunsets over the Umbrian plains. Then, maybe, you might want to come back again!
Getting here cannot be any easier. Any bus that runs from the Stazione FS to Piazza Italia stops right next door to the hotel. Just ask for "Piazza Italia" when you hop aboard.
Two sundays every month, there is a major open air brick-a-brack market that sells strange stuff ranging from pendants carved with your name, to old books and antique clocks. On other sundays there are a few tables where artisans display their wares. Great location.
