  This is a lovely villa on the outskirts of Perugia, with beautiful views across the Umbrian countryside. We stayed in del Pinturicchio, one of 3 apartments on the property. The apartment is spacious and wonderfully Italian. Very comfortable beds, great saltwater pool, well-equipped kitchen, mature fig tree just outside the kitchen door, jacuzzi bathtub - it was all we could have asked for. The villa is a short, entertaining walk to the nearby shops and the old town of Perugia. Hosts Guiseppe and Elga, Luigi and Bruna live in a separate house on the same property. They are very friendly and helpful, without being intrusive. On arrival, Guiseppe drove us around Perugia to show us places to visit and shop at. Perugia is full of amazing historic architecture and character, but is also very laid back, friendly and relatively inexpensive. There are good train and bus connections to other destinations in Umbria such as Assisi (which is well worth the trip) and to Rome. Within Perugia, there is also a good bus service, which can be quite exciting at times, given the narrow, winding roads. However, we didn't get out to see as much as we planned, because it was so pleasant hanging around the pool at the villa. We were there in September and the mornings showed signs of approaching autumn but the days were lovely and warm.

  We are return visitors to Villa Nuba and as was the case last time, we were not disappointed. Everything and more was on offer this time with the lovely gazebo just outside our apartment, near the pool area. The pool is wonderful to relax and play with the kids after visiting nearby towns in Umbria. We stayed in the larger of the apartments and the cleanliness and attention to detail, along with the nice touches of the welcome basket made it very special. Guiseppe and his lovely wife, Elga, were very welcoming and on hand should we need anything. Perugia is a beautiful town and surrounded by many medieval towns, most with 10-50km so the driving is manageable. We loved venturing out each day, to return to Villa Nuba to relax, enjoy the leafy surrounds and simply have a wonderful start to our Italian adventure. Our daily walk took us to the wonderful pasticceria for coffee and pastries and who can fault Pizza Magic nearby for their wood fired pizzas. All in all another great family holiday and we hope we get back there again.

  I have never given 5 stars for an overseas review but this one merits it We made a last minute booking because there was a cancellation so travel was expensive but does not need to be if booked in advance. We travelled to Rome by BA and then took the trains which was an adventure (but very cheap and all booked from the UK)-three trains when apparently there is a direct train from Rome. With hindsight should have hired a car in Rome as driving in Italy is pretty easy. Returned from Perugia via Ryan Air which was surprisingly simple and a fast Stanstead Express got us back to South London in an hour and 20 minutes. The apartment was clean, spacious and very well equipped. The location is great, walking distance to the main town and some shops within a 10 minute walk. A car is essential to get around to see the sights in the neighbouring towns. The pool is lovely and provides some relief from the sun. Elga and Guiseppe are fantastic warm and welcoming hosts and ensured that are stay was a fantastic and memorable I highly recommend this as a great place to have a relaxing stay- we are thinking of returning out of season to explore the great towns in cooler temperatures as we experienced the hottest temperatures in 20 years

  This was my favourite part of Italy. Giuseppe is a fabulous host, Very attentive to your needs, but you have complete privacy. His tips for exploring Perugia region were spot on. The drive to Gubio is very special. Assissi , Spello , Perugia itself, just fantastic.You are in the countryside (the view from upstairs apartment is marvelous) but just a few minutes from town. You can walk to the town centre in around 15 minutes, the bus is only a few minutes way. The rooms are spacious and beautifully presented with wonderful furnishings. Great pool and unlimited internet access (my daughter loved that !) I rate this on an 11 ! Thank you Giuseppe, We will remember our very special time at Villa Nuba forever.

  With its beautiful grounds, spectacular setting, and well appointed suites, the Villa Nuba is no ordinary vacation rental! Nestled on the side of a hill overlooking the lush countryside, but only minutes from the lovely Medieval city of Perugia, the Villa Nuba is truly a home away from home. Our two bedroom suite was spacious, comfortable, extremely clean, and very well equipped. The view from our balcony was incredible! Our charming hosts, Guissepe and Elga, were warm, welcoming and very helpful, going out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend the Villa Nuba - it exceeded my expectations

  My 2 friends and I were tired after missing our connecting train to Perugia but perked up when we arrived at the front gate of the Villa Nuba and saw Giuseppe waiting for us with a big smile on his face. He made us feel at home right away and we fell in love with the Pinturrichio apartment as soon as we came through the front door. It is very large with an open living and dining area, two bedrooms, lots of windows, a spacious kitchen and bathroom and a huge balcony with a spectacular view of the Umbrian hills. The amenities provided are superb and include a welcome basket on the kitchen table, a jacuzzi tub, an in suite washing machine, a large selection of travel brochures and art guides for the local area and our own patio and table right outside our door. The grounds of the Villa Nuba are beautiful with olive and pine trees and potted flowers everywhere and the salt water pool on the property is a very welcome addition after a long day of touring. Giuseppe took us out on an orientation tour the first morning and showed us where to buy bus tickets, shop for groceries and gave us the names of good restaurants in the area. He also took us on a wine tasting trip to Montefalco and Toregiano and a day trip to the town of Gubbio. He is very knowledgeable about Perugia and was able to answer all of the questions we fired at him during out stay. Giuseppe and his wife Elga are wonderful hosts and we will definitely come back for another visit!

  5 of 5 stars We arrived at Villa Nuba after some hot days in Florence, with high expectations. We were not disapponited. We stayed for one week in the Del Pinturicchio apartment, which has high standard, two nice bedrooms, nice and well equipped kitchen and a terrace with a fantastic view. We are a family with to younger kids (2 and 5 years), and the pool was very important for our stay (and Perugia was then the hottest place in Italy). The pool is very nice, with nice view. The grocery is within easy walking distance, there are also a bakery, a pizzeria and a gelateria nearby. We went with the bus - the stop is also nearby - to the historic center of Perugia. You can walk, but it is uphill and with small kids and hot weather, we thougt it would be better to go by bus (or taxi, which is cheap). And Perugia is a very nice city (shop, eat, see). Add that Giuseppe is a perfect host, and we would not hesitate to go back to Villa Nuba.

  This is a great place to stay with easy walking access to the old town as well as driving access to the motorway to tour Umbria. The villas are very comfortable, spacious and beautifully furnished and decorated. There are lovely views over the Umbrian hills from the gardens and the upper level of the property. Giuseppe is an excellent host - accessible, very friendly, excellent English and very helpful for planning trips around Umbria.There are plenty of tour guide and books in the villa. The only difficulty we had was initially finding the property after dark, but Giuseppe says he will now send more detailed instructions with booking confirmation. We look forward to returning to Villa Nuba.

  Villa Nuba was our "home" away from home for a month. We used Perugia as our jumping off point for many day and over night trips. After a day of sightseeing, we always looked forward to going home to Villa Nuba. Everything that we needed was there. It was perfect for us. A short walk to the center of Perugia. But the views we had were of the country side. The best of both worlds! Giuseppe made our stay wonderful. Always ready for our questions about what we should see and do. Always ready to suggest something that we should see that we might have overlooked. This was our third trip to Italy. As good as the wine is, as good as the food is, the one thing that makes Italy for us is the people. And Giuseppe is at the top of the list. We felt so welcome at Villa Nuba. We had a wonderful trip in Italy, made better by Giuseppe !! Thank you Giuseppe !!!

  My wife and I enjoyed a delightful week’s holiday at Villa Nuba in July 2010, just catching the end of the Umbria Jazz Festival. For two people, the apartment Bonfigli more than lived up to everything on the Villa Nuba website – fully equipped (incl. electric kettle), spotlessly clean and came supplied with a generous “welcome pack”. The villa overlooks a beautiful valley on the north side of the city of Perugia – a wonderful backdrop to the villa and its saltwater pool; quiet, yet so convenient for the city. Whilst being unobtrusive, our English-speaking host Giuseppe was both friendly and attentive, providing maps of the city and region. He also gave us a brief tour by car of the immediate neighbourhood, showing us the local supermarket (½ mile), “Pizza Magic”! and also handy car parking for the city. Perugia is a fabulous city, with plenty to see and do – lots of culture, history and nightlife and, compared to other Italian tourist centres, we found it to be very good value. Perugia also provides an ideal base for visiting the rest of Umbria, and a big plus factor for Villa Nuba is the easy access (to the east) to the main road network – no traffic queues! Over the years, we have enjoyed many superb holidays in Italy (Rome, Como, Versilia, Chianti, Sicily, Rovigo and Verona) and can now add Perugia to this list. Now a Bookmarked website, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Villa Nuba.
