The Best Hotel in Perugia, Umbria and the Marches

Beguilingly comfortable guest rooms set on lovely grounds—where gardeners go quietly about their business—along with a small but charming spa and a well-regarded restaurant make this historical hotel south of Perugia worth a stay. For memorable ablutions, take advantage of the huge showerheads, commissioned from a Florentine artist. The hotel's excellent restaurant, the Pantagruel, has a wine list with more than 500 labels.
