Grybowicz, 47 years old and without a permanent residence, admitted guilt on multiple charges including assault, causing grievous bodily harm with intent, property damage, two counts of false imprisonment, and two threats to kill.
He detained Fay Pester at the Swan Hotel, subjecting her to acts of torture such as breaking her collarbone, setting her on fire with a lighter, and strangulation.
Fearing for her safety, she jumped out of a first-floor window.
At Warwick Crown Court, Grybowicz received an indeterminate prison term, with a minimum term of four and a half years set by the judge.
A psychiatric assessment found no signs of mental illness.
The judge, Richard Bray, noted he had contemplated imposing a life sentence but ultimately settled on the current penalty.
