Hotel Giò Wine e Jazz Area

Hotel Giò Wine e Jazz Area is a truly unique and memorable stay in Perugia, perfectly blending comfort with a cultural twist. The hotel is cleverly divided into two themed sections -- Wine and Jazz -- and I stayed in the Jazz Area, which had a smooth, musical charm throughout, from jazz-inspired decor to mellow background music in the common spaces. Spacious, clean, and creatively decorated to reflect the jazz theme. My room had a small balcony with a nice view, a comfortable bed, and a well-stocked minibar. The soundproofing was excellent, and I appreciated the vintage record player and jazz vinyls --- such a nice touch. The furnishings and finishings do lean a bit rustic, with some areas showing their age, but it adds to the charm rather than detracting from the experience. The hotel has impressive features including a rooftop pool (seasonal), a fitness center, free parking, and a wine shop that hosts tastings. The underground jazz club/bar was quite a highlight -- intimate and atmospheric, with the possibility to have great cocktails and live music on certain nights. The breakfast buffet was varied and high-quality, with options for every dietary need. The on-site restaurant serves a solid menu, with a good selection of local wines and dishes inspired by Umbrian cuisine. While not in the heart of the old town, the hotel is a short taxi or bus ride from the historic center, but you can also walk to the center for 15 minutes. It's quiet and ideal for travelers with a car or those who don’t mind a short commute into the city.

The hotel was amazing.It is deceptively understated from the outside,but the foyer was bright and welcoming ,and the baby grand piano and the musical theme added greatly to the atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful and breakfast was fabulous.The rooftop pool was great. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.

Very friendly staff, willing to help and ensure that we had what we needed. The breakfast is a winner! Great breakfast and so delicious and fresh, terrific for travelers! Location was perfect, just half an hour's walk from the old city. Having parking was fantastic!

Hotel is unusual but in a positive way. The mix of the jazz and wine areas is great fun. The staff are all great - very professional and helpful. Food at the restaurant is very good with different choices each evening and a good wine list. Our room was spacious with everything you need for a short stay and a fantastic view to the hills beyond. We loved the rooftop swimming pool after a warm day. The surprise was the nearby mini metro that takes you up to the historic centre - much easier than walking up the steep hill - and you can buy tickets for it in the hotel. A great hotel for visiting Perugia.
