awards
“Borgobrufa offers a true sanctuary experience, combining the elegance of a five-star resort with one of the most immersive and expansive wellness offerings I’ve experienced in Italy. It is the kind of place where wellness is not simply a feature, but the heartbeat of the entire guest experience.
What sets Borgobrufa apart is its deep sense of place within the Umbrian hills. The property is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards and offers sweeping views of Assisi in one direction and Perugia in the other – a unique vantage. The design and service reflect an authentic connection to the region, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels both refined and grounded.
Service throughout the resort is warm, intuitive, and exceptionally personal. The staff deliver a consistent level of attention that rivals the finest luxury properties I’ve experienced in Italy. I believe this is a result of a family run resort, where the owners are deeply invested in keeping the beauty of the property pristine and making staff feel a part of the family. They’ve had some of the same staff for decades.”
