The hotel was delightful. They made us very welcome and couldn't have done more for us. The rooms were very comfortable, well appointed and very clean. The setting was beautiful and the pool and gardens were lovely and very well looked after. The restaurant was excellent thanks to the head waiter Francesco and his staff and the food most enjoyable.We would very much like to come back to the see the finished wellbeing centre.Rose and John Kersh

Borgo Brufa is set in the Umbrian countryside surrounded by lovely views but not far from all the major cities (like Assisi and Perugia). The hotel is organised like a small village with several small buildings and a central restaurant / bar / reception area - you will need a car. The rooms are fairly new and very clean. The swimming pool is spacious (with an outside bar) perfect for relaxing in the sun and the staff warm and welcoming although it cannot boast the most efficient service (despite also catering to conferences). What we ate was very fresh (the croissants at breakfast were particularly good)!

We stayed at the Borgo Brufa for 4 days and had a lovely time despite some rather loud guests! BB has conference facilities which can be an issue for holiday makers as conference delegates tend to 'kick back' in the evenings. We were put in the same block as some very loud americans who obviously did not realise how loud they actually were - even though they were asked very politely to keep the noise down. For three out of the four nights we were interupted several times by 'clack clacking' of heels on the floor above us. They were so loud we could hear their conversation, so sound insulation may be an issue at BB. Why do people keep their shoes on inside their apartment when surely they know that there are people underneath them?? And why do they move the furniture around at 2am? Anyway, that aside BB has a lovely restaurant and a very good spa. It is set in stunning Tuscan countryside and it is well worth going site seeing - especially to the lake. Castiglione del Lago is well worth a visit and there are lovely restaurants there if you want to try Umbrian food. If you want a chilled out time, check that there is not a conference on and enjoy!

first the few good things: location, breakfast, staff in the restaurant, view to Assisi and Perugia

BUT:
- single room (as indicated in the room itself) was sold as double room, room was very small, did not at all correspond with the pictures on the internet
- through the connecting door to the next room, you could hear every move/word from the neighbours
- due to the small window, the room was quite dark, even during daytime electric light was necessary
- safe did not work properly
- the room was very dusty, the chambermaid admitted not having enough time for cleaning the rooms properly
- by 13:30 the room was not yet made, explanation: "we are booked out"

Conclusion: never again!
