Hotel Fortuna

1) excellent location; a 1 1/2 block walk to the beginning of main piazza; 2) an elevator; 3) a roof-top terrace with tables and chairs; 4) a large public living room with murals and period furniture; 5) friendly professional staff; 6) generous breakfast offerings.

Five star location, five star breakfast, five star staff. And what a fabulous breakfast in an elegant dining room! The room was very modern, nice sized bathroom and extremely clean. Friendly, helpful and engaging staff; they got the taxi within minutes when you needed it. This was originally a 12th century medieval tower and latter a palazzo with beautiful fresco wall and ceiling art. Fabulous views from the roof terrace and the third floor terrace. And just steps from the town square. Perugia is the place to visit in this Italian region and this is the place to stay!

I loved this hotel - tucked away in a quiet side street but right next to the main square, brilliantly located. The room was a nice size and very comfortable. Staff were always helpful and I was impressed by the breakfast options. I also loved the stonework in the corridors, the beautiful reading room and the roof terrace where we enjoyed drinking wine and admiring the views across Perugia and the surrounding Umbrian hills.

Hotel Fortuna would make a lovely hotel in the centre of historic Perugia if and when it is completely refurbished. This is an old building and makes a gem of a boutique hotel. The refurbishment seems to have started with some of the rooms but more needs to be done. Bathrooms lack certain basics like a shower shelve, a toilet brush and a clothes hanger. Toiletries were very limited. The bedroom was spacious but TV is too small for the size of the room and a mirror would make a necessary addition. Room coffee making facilities would nicely compliment the stay. The common areas are also in need of an upgrade but one also needs to be aware that this building dates back hundreds of years Breakfast is what you expect at an Italian hotel except for the Coffee Machine which one would expect to have freshly brewed and not through a dispensing machine. Receptionist staff were very helpful but not the same could be said of the breakfast staff who can put a smile on her face! Overall a good hotel and one to watch for future visits to Perugia

On several floors there is a lovely room for reading or sitting and relaxing. There is a lovely terrace to enjoy in the evening and watch the sun go down. Breakfast has good choice. The staff were very helpful in looking up buses to the airport and calling us a taxi. They kindly stored our luggage before check in and after check out. The hotel is very central and convenient to walk everywhere. The ac was on but not at an ice cold temperature so very pleasant.
