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.

Breakfast was abundant and fresh. The room was incredibly comfortable and spacious. Complimentary parking indoor or outdoor. The kindness of the staff was veruy appreciated, they helped us booking taxis and making our check-in/check-out very easy.

The hotel is displaced on 2 buildings and the logistic of it is not super intuitive, but after a couple of times it becomes easy. The one and only note I can appoint about breakfast was the lack of Bacon.

Hotel is a little different from anywhere else. We stayed in the Jazz area of the hotel. The large Lobby has lots of jazz memorabilia together with a shop selling jazz themed items, plus lots of chocolate 🍫. The rooms were very comfortable with a massage chair, comfy bed, and a decent bathroom. The breakfast room food selection was terrific, with items replenished quickly if they ran out. All in all a good choice of hotel in Perugia, albeit a little out of town, though the TS bus runs past the hotel, and links the railway station, and the city centre. There is a terrific Gelataria around 100m away that is open until late at night.

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!

The pool, while extremely refreshing, was a little crowded with kids, and they were fine actually, just not enough room for all of us :)

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.

A quirky hotel with the Jazz theme but very nicely done. Staff were helpful in getting tickets for the train into the historic centre of Perugia. Excellent breakfast. Main reason we booked this hotel was for the outside pool which was great but wearing the swimming cap in the pool was a bit strange.

Was not walking distance to the central train station or the old town - so really more for people who where travelling by car rather than by train.

Very good location, the mini metro station to the top of historic center is 10 minutes walk from the hotel. You can buy metro tickets at the hotel reception, fantastic! The breakfast is is very rich, the personal is cosy, helpful. The whole hotel is design nicely. The meals of the restaurant are very delicious. Big costfree parking place just before the hotel. I was here some years ago and I will come back.

It’s warmth it’s breakfast it’s room and it’s restraunt prices

Just its distance as we are elderly and walking was onerous. We were not there long enough to understand public transport. The late time 7.45 of the evening meal was disappointing from a British perspective however the hotel was mostly filled with Italian which makes sense

The accommodation is outside the ZTL zone, but with its own parking lot, which is an extraordinary advantage. The hotel staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Optimal cleanliness. In front of the hotel is a beautiful green terrace where you can drink an aperitif or coffee in peace.

The climb to the historical part of the city may be a bit difficult for the elderly or infirm, but this has nothing to do with the hotel and cannot affect the rating.

The hotel is not in the city center, but there is a mini-metro station nearby, which makes it easy to get to the sights. It is also practical that there is a supermarket next to the hotel. The room is a good size and has interesting extras related to the jazz theme, such as a CD player on the wall. I also haven't come across a massage tub in any other hotel. There is also a pool on the roof terrace. The staff is professional and helpful.

Our room faced the city, but since it was on the first floor, we could only see a gas station.
