Brufani Palace Hotel

SWIMMING WITH THE ETRUSCANS

The story of the Hotel Brufani Palace, which was inaugurated in 1884 by Mr Giacomo Brufani, starts in the swimming pool. Because it is here, under the Medieval vaults of the ancient Rocca Paolina fortress that the glass bottom of the pool reveals the splendid Etruscan ruins which were brought to light during the restoration of the building.

And so the ancient Etruscan people join illustrious guests for a swim at any time of year. And a peek at the guest book will reveal how this sumptuous property has welcomed such famous personalities as Charlie Chaplin, the Queen Mother, Rita Levi Montalcini, Anthony Hopkins and Bruce Springsteen, to mention just a few.
  
From the balconies and the panoramic terrace of the hotel, which is right in the Medieval heart of Perugia, the eye embraces the entire city and the valleys of Umbria which lead to the nearby charming little towns of Spello, Assisi, Gubbio, Todi e Orvieto.
