Hotel Giò Arte e Vini Review

This operation may be commercial to the core, but it's one of the most felicitous concentrations of capitalism around. It's on the outskirts of town, inhabiting an ugly 1960s brick architectural mistake, but the rooms on the back face a small tree-shaded valley, the only oasis of green on Perugia's developed slopes. The rooms are comfortable, large, and well furnished. A contemporary artist and a wine label are paired in each room dedicated to wine: The glass-topped desks contain tiny enoteche, the art hangs on the wall, and you're welcome to buy either. The rooms dedicated to Jazz have a more old-school feel, with massage chairs and a CD player. The restaurant serves Umbrian recipes tweaked to fine cuisine levels and accompanied by bottomless wine tasting. The attached enoteca/gastronomia stocks almost 800 labels of wine and regional products, from Italy and around the world.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
