About this property
Fertile landscape braided with vineyards, undulating hills bathed in poetic light and green forests spawning for as far as the eye can see all make up the scene of Umbria – the green heart of Italy, which happens to be the home of the Borgobrufa SPA Resort. The stunning complex is set on a hill overlooking vineyards and olive groves, inviting you to cherish moments of harmony in the best company.
The Luxury Love Suite is a piece of paradise benefiting from all of the complex's top-notch facilities. Inside, guests will find a private indoor pool heated to a comfortable 34°C, underwater whirlpool benches and a Finnish sauna, allowing you to enjoy these excellent spa facilities by simply just jumping off the bed – which is extremely wide and clothed in the finest, 100% cotton sateen Rivolta Carmignani bedding. In front you'll find an electric fireplace that will make your stay even cosier, while the elegantly modern interiors add to the elegant atmosphere. While ideally positioned to allow for out-of-town wellness escapes and savouring special moments, the suite is connected to a covered tunnel leading to the restaurant with 1 Michelin Star and SPA, should guests wish to use the complex's facilities.
Built with love and care for Umbria's original architecture, the resort is decentralised, with suites and facilities connected by tunnels perfectly integrated with its surroundings. In the far-reaching lawned grounds, guests have direct contact with nature and are encouraged to soak up the magnificent views from the two swimming pools and other relaxation areas. In the communal spa world, you'll enjoy a range of pools and saunas such as steam baths, panoramic, vitreum and aemotio saunas and more. When the contents of your mini fridge are yet to be replenished, head to one of the on-site restaurants to enjoy a candle-lit meal full of authentic flavours and Umbrian specialities based on prime, strictly seasonal ingredients entirely from local producers.
We know how hard it is to leave such a paradise, but if you're here for the full Italian experience, you'll want to explore the nearby cities, villages, and towns dotted across the leafy landscape.
Start your trip in Perugia, Umbria's capital, known for its defensive walls around the historic centre, as well as many fascinating landmarks, restaurants and pretty alleyways for strolling around.
A bit further away, you'll find Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis, and the walled town of Spello, luring architecture and photography enthusiasts with its winding streets and crumbling houses that come alive with flowers during summer months.
Orvieto, near the border of Lazio, is a fantastic place for those looking for a romantic getaway thanks to its admirable landmarks such as the Duomo di Orvieto, dating from 1290 and featuring a mosaic facade, as well as the triumphal 14th-century cathedral, among other important landmarks.
Located in the picturesque Umbria region, you'll find the Borgobrufa SPA Resort. This enchanting retreat is surrounded by medieval towns, sleepy villages, and dipping hills, creating an idyllic setting for your next romantic holiday.
If you want to explore, you'll be delighted to know that the nearest village, Brufa, is just a 10-minute walk away. There, you can find local amenities like bakeries and a couple of restaurants that will satisfy sudden food cravings. Should you need to stock up on groceries, the nearby village of Ponte San Giovanni has a supermarket.
When it's time to explore, why not start your journey through the region with a trip to Perugia? A mere 15-minute drive from the resort, the hilltop city offers many opportunities to immerse yourself in the local landscape's rich history and culture. Stroll through the city's winding alleyways to discover Etruscan archways, Gothic palazzos, and charming cafés spilling out onto the sidewalk before admiring the city's many historical landmarks. In the centre of the square, you'll find Fontana Maggiore, a magnificent marble fountain adorned with biblical scenes and zodiac signs, perfect for people-watching.
For a more wholesome experience, venture to Parco Regionale del Lago Trasimeno, a large lake surrounded by pine trees and greenery. You can find swimming spots, lakeside restaurants, and scenic walking trails here. On a hot summer day, cool off at Zocco beach, equipped with a swimming pool and a lounge area or take a break from the sun in the village of Monte del Lago, which offers scenic hiking areas such as the popular Percorso pedonale naturalistico lungolago, great for cyclists and runners. If you're feeling adventurous, consider renting a boat in one of the nearby villages to explore the captivating Isola Maggiore, a tiny islet on the lake.
Terni, also known as the 'City of Lovers', is an excellent destination for a day trip, conveniently located just an hour's drive away. Explore its charismatic historic centre, adorned with significant archaeological remains such as the Roman amphitheatre and churches dating back to the 12th and 5th centuries. Those hoping to see more of nature shouldn't miss the Parco Fluviale del Nera outside the city, where you'll find a captivating man-made waterfall called Cascata delle Marmore. The park offers sweeping forest trails and breathtaking views, so take plenty of photographs.
If captivated by the region's history, plan a cultural day trip to Assisi. Known as the birthplace of St. Francis, this city boasts remarkable architecture, including the grand unesco Basilica of St. Francis.
