Sina Brufani, Perugia, Umbria, Italy
A stately mustard-hued mansion, and the only grand dame in Umbria, Sina Brufani is famed for its old-world charm, impeccably decorated rooms and captivating valley vistas, all just steps from medieval Perugia's historical sites, shopping, cafés, restaurants and nightlife.
But you don't even need to step outside to travel back in time… just head to the spa for a swim and a glimpse of ancient Etruscan ruins through the pool's glass floor.
