From beautifully preserved medieval hilltop towns with their elegant palazzos converted into plush hotels to incredible country villas with beautiful gardens, Umbria has lots of luxury accommodation to choose from. Our experts have narrowed down their favourites covering everything from romantic havens to rural gems and even some well-priced options offering luxury alongside value. Whether you're looking for a heavenly spa, historic charm, fine dining or a spoiling adults-only escape, prepare to be pampered . . .

For a romantic escape

• A 12th-century Italian monastery transformed into a boutique hotel, Vocabolo Moscatelli is a gorgeous couples' choice. Chic interiors, private spa suites, charming terraces and an outdoor pool await. The perfect place to reconnect amid ancient trees and serene valleys, with bespoke nature activities and local cuisine.
• Built in the 16th century, the Palazzo Seneca is an extremely elegant old palazzo in the delightfully sleepy town of Norcia. Inside it’s been converted into a 24-room, family-run hotel offering the highest standards of traditional Umbrian hospitality, paired with modern treats like complimentary spa facilities and a fine restaurant. The decor is an elegant marriage of contemporary style and local character, think four-poster beds, original tiled floors and stone walls, and well-shaped leather furniture.
• If you’re looking for a country villa style hotel and you like the idea of original features like carved open fireplaces and historic frescoes, the Borgo Dei Conti could be perfect for you. Surrounded by the undulating Umbrian countryside south of Perugia, this country estate has always been luxurious and elegant, but it now has first class hotel facilities too, including a sleek spa and gym and a choice of two restaurants. There are 50 rooms and suites, some suitable for families.

For a heavenly spa

• Elegant, with a grande dame feel, Hotel Brufani is an aristocratic five-star villa conversion, with 94 rooms and suites. Some of the suites are huge, with numerous rooms and private terraces too. It’s also perfectly located on a hilltop, with views over Perugia and across Umbria. There's a spa built into the property's medieval vaults, and the refined hotel restaurant is excellent.
• One of our Gurus' favourite hotels in Assisi is the Nun Assisi Relais & Spa, a five-star hotel in a spectacularly converted 13th-century monastery. There are just 18 rooms and suites, all beautifully designed with a very contemporary feel, but showing off this building’s wonderful original features, like frescoes and exposed stone walls. The restaurant is gourmet, and there’s a cosy bar. The views from the hillside position in this hilltop town are incredible.
• The Relais Todini has been converted from a 12th-century country house, complete with original frescoes in many of the rooms, stone walls and doorways, beamed ceilings and rooms with huge proportions. This is a really special place to stay, memorable for all the right reasons. It’s located on a small hilltop just outside Todi, and the views are idyllic. The hotel has 12 rooms and suites, a large pool, which also has incredible views, a spa, and an excellent restaurant with an impressive wine cellar.
• Park Hotel ai Cappuccini may be housed in a 17th-century converted monastery but there's nothing old about its expansive spa. Expect state-of-the-art services,  including saunas, a Turkish bath, a Mediterranean bath, emotional showers, a whirlpool room and even a wellness water park. And when you fancy exploring, it's just a 10-minute walk from the historic centre of the well-preserved mediaeval town of Gubbio. 

For a rural retreat

• A fabulous farm estate in Piegaro, I Borghi dell'Eremo sits in 500 hectares of glorious countryside. There's so much to do here you'll never have to leave — tennis courts, an outdoor pool, e-bikes, horse riding and a pampering spa are all on offer. The stunning interiors, authentic cuisine and gorgeous gardens create a perfect combination of tradition and charm.
• The Borgo della Marmotta is a long, low stone farmhouse and villa, beautifully converted into a collection of 11 bedrooms and seven suites and apartments, each sleeping four. All the rooms are spacious, with plenty of original features like exposed stone walls and beamed ceilings, and they’re finished with oversized Italian country furniture. Inside the main building the rustic Italian theme continues with a large sitting room with a huge open fireplace and a couple of vast sofas. French doors lead to a small paved terrace overlooking the gardens which are beautiful, with a big pool and plenty of secured spots. 
• Umbria is littered with gorgeous, historic properties crammed with original features and beautiful antiques, but if you prefer more contemporary decor try the Borgo La Chiaracia, an elegant, five-star, 26-room spa hotel outside Orvieto. The rooms and suites are spread through three custom-built traditional style buildings, and they’re styled in a classic, contemporary manner. The best of them have wonderful views and private terraces. The spa is state-of-the-art, with a hot tub and a sauna, there’s a fantastic indoor/outdoor pool and a great restaurant headed by a Michelin-starred chef.

For an adults-only stay

• An adults-only boutique hotel set within the medieval streets of Orvieto, Palazzo Petrvs is ideal for an intimate escape. Rooms are elgant, arty and filled with original features. Candlelit dinners in a former church and quiet views over rooftops make it perfect for slow evenings together. Step outside and you’re by the Duomo in seconds.
• Close to Perugia, the adults-only Borgobrufa Spa Resort has 50 rooms and suites, the very largest of which have their own private pools and terraces, as well as more rooms than many houses. All the interiors have a very Umbrian feel, with wooden floors, terracotta tiles and exposed beams. Positioned on a small hill, the views are picturesque. As well as an extensive spa menu and spa facilities, there are also several restaurants and bars.

For great value luxury

• Alla Posta dei Donini is a stately, country-feeling hotel occupying an elegant historic residence in the town of San Martino in Campo, just outside Perugia. There are 48 rooms and multi-room suites, spread through two interconnected villas, the best of which have original door and ceiling frescoes. There’s also a large outdoor pool and a state-of-the-art spa. There’s plenty of choice when it comes to the size of your room, so this is a good value, family-friendly pick.
• The Abbazia San Pietro in Valle is a wonderfully historic, pale-stone Benedictine abbey in a beautiful hillside spot north of Terni. The views are incredible, from all of the 19 cells, which have been converted into well-priced, comfortable rooms and family-sized suites, retaining their original stone floors, wood beams and art. The hotel also has extensive grounds and gardens, and a private chapel with beautiful frescoes.
