I spent a fantastic holiday in Italy with my family this August. We decided to stay in Perugia for five days because the position of the city is perfect to visit Tuscany and Umbria alike.
We had a great time at Villa Nuba where Giuseppe Nuzzaci our host was welcoming us. He is a friendly, kind and funny young Italian who gave us many ideas what to see and where to eat. Giuseppe tried the famous Hungarian hot paprika sausages with us on the first night, that made a perfect match with the Italian Grappa… The Pinturicchio Apartment was as charming as described at the villa’s website and we had a great time there. We were cokking yummy dinners in the fully equipped kitchen and even though the weather did not permit a swim in the nice pool, our children tried the jacuzzi one night… It was good all of us could check the most important e-mails in the internet room. We devoted our first day to Perugia, then visited Gubbio, Arezzo, Siena and Cortona. Our guide book was the favourite Hungarian book of the family, Antal Szerb's Journey by Moonlight. In the book written in the 30s. The childhood friend of the protagonist became a monk in Gubbio in the monastery up on the hill, attached to the Basilica of St. Ubaldo. Thanks to Giuseppe we took the Funivia (cable car) to go up to the basilica, from where we so the most amazing view of the city and the scenery around. After 35 years we also went back to Arezzo, a dear town for us. In 1972 our Hungarian choir participated in the Concorso Polifonico and won two prizes in Arezzo. It was an exceptional feeling to show the places where we had sang decades earlier to our children.
In Siena, we had great Italian coffee on the Campo and were lucky to see the marble mosaic floor of the Cathedral, since the floor is only uncovered for two months a year. On our way back from Siena we decided to go to Cortona for dinner. I had already visited this beautiful town before and took my family to the Pizzeria Fufluns where I had had good lunches and dinners 5 years ago. We not only had great bruschetti and tasteful salmone affumicato in salsa di pepe rosa, but also happened to watch the Italy-Hungary football match, sitting in the middle of a group of Italians… We were happy about the outcome… (Scusi!)
We went up to Venice for two days from Perugia to finish a wonderful holiday.
I can only promise to go back to Perugia again and surely stay at Villa Nuba again, because a lot of nearby towns remained unseen for us: Spoleto, Assisi, Todi, Montepulciano etc. Since Lake Trasimeno is so close we would like to spend a day at the beach next time. Beautiful cities, nice villa, friendly host and the best pesto we ever tried, made by our host’s mother and given us by Giuseppe as a present when we said good-bye. We are thinking of our summer holiday a lot and can only recommend Villa Nuba to others. (But the Pinturicchio apartment is only free at times when we are not staying there….)

We usually stay in 3 or 4 star hotels - but driving into an ancient city such as Perugia is a nuisance - so staying in the outskirts is the best approach - and Villa Nuba is as confortable and more spacious than any hotel. The owners are charming and helpful. The view from our rooms were breathtaking...and we visited both Perugia and several towns in Umbria and fell in love with the whole region.
"Perfectly Charming"

Our son was studying in Perugia and when we went to visit with other family members, we wanted more space than basic hotel rooms.The owners home, 3 apartments, and a pool are part of this well maintained, gated property. The rates are reasonable and the owner is terrific.
Guiseppe is a gracious host and very helpful with everything you could possibly need during your stay. There was a welcome basket of food in the kitchen and he gave us a quick driving tour of the area. There is a wonderful bakery and grocery nearby.
We walked everywhere the first 3 days and then rented a car for the rest of the week to explore the beautiful surrounding towns.
The Villa Nuba is a great choice!

Villa Nuba will not be forgotten. I travelled with my Mother, Aunt and Friend for her 65th birthday. We were greeted with a warm, familial reception. In fact, I feel like I have made friends for life! Giuseppe made everything easy. I was even able to email my kids back home every night because the villa has a computer that is available for guests. The pool, views, location, accommodation was first rate. Our apartment was clean, tasteful and because Giuseppe had thought of everything, it was easy to adjust to being so far away from home. We enjoyed visiting Assisi, Deruta, Todi as well as Perugia, with ease. There's even a shopping mall close by (Collestrada,), I felt like I lived there for our week and loved it! I will certainly go back, next time with my husband and kids, they too will be able to make great memories at Villa Nuba!
We had a great time during a winter visit!

We (three adults who don’t speak Italian) stayed in Villa Nuba’s Pinturicchio apartment for five weeks (mid-February – late March) and enjoyed our visit very much! The apartment was comfortable and nicely furnished, the view was beautiful and it was easy to walk into Perugia or catch a bus or train to nearby towns in Umbria and Tuscany. Giuseppe was a great host who stopped by regularly to be sure everything was perfect (it was!), answered our questions and provided advice on the best restaurants, shops and places to see. We shopped for local specialties like fresh pasta and vegetables and prepared them in the apartment’s well equipped kitchen. We used our fireplace nearly every night and we all loved the deep bathtub. Since the water is heated on demand, you never run out of hot water! Since I needed to work while we were there, I used the high speed internet connection - that worked out nicely. The weather in Italy in winter can be chilly but we were glad we went then – there were very few tourists. We recommend Villa Nuba and plan to return!

Dear Giuseppe
Just a quick note to thank you for making our stay at Villa Nuba so enjoyable. The apartment was absolutely perfect, and Bruno thinks the pool was one of the two coolest things about the holiday - the other being the Gubbio funivia. We'll be back, I'm sure.

Spent a perfect week at Villa Nuba in July when Italy was experiencing record temperatures and the pool was therefore an essential. Giuseppe made our holiday special, being the perfect Italian host. He greeted us on arrival, took us on a tour of the local supermarket, pizzeria and city walls and gave us some top tips about what to do/not to do. I was worried that with two teenage children (aged 16 and 14) there would not be enough to do but with the trip to the last night of the Umbrian Jazz Festival, the venicular cable cars in Gubbio, the boat trip across Lago Trasimeno, the day trip by train to Florence and of course the retail therapy in Perugia itself, they were well entertained and had a fabulous time.
The apartment was ideal with good facilities and very clean.
We would definitely recommend it to any one.

Both my husband and I just wanted to report on our wonderful visit to Villa Nuba. We stayed in the Del Perugino apartment for the month of June and it really was a home away from home. The location was perfect - a countryside setting just a short walk from the centre of Perugia, and in close proximity to the many hill towns in Umbria. The apartments are really luxurious and every amenity has been thought of. Guiseppe and his parents are wonderful hosts and were very helpful in all aspects of our stay. We may be back!

Spent 2 weeks at Villa Nuba from 1st June 2007 and loved every minute. lovely position, quality fittings etc,nice pool,a host who will do anything to make the stay relaxing and fun.Ideal position for seeing the surrounding sites such as Assisi but we loved Spello- a must visit town.
