The architecture of Gubbio represents, perhaps, the masterpiece of the medieval period and of the 13th-14th centuries: intact towers, facades of houses blackened from the centuries, gothic churches and palaces that symbolise the power of this medieval city-state.

Gubbio is waiting for you with its medieval palaces, its churches which date from the pre-Roman era to the end of the fifteenth century, with its museums and its shops and stands, selling local crafts and foods.

The Balducci Palace, well noted for its historic value as a prime example of a seventeenth century building, is of National importance.

In a wing of the palace one independent flat was constructed with the view on internal garden. The apartment is completely furnished and it is divided in the following zones: diningroom with kitchen corner (refrigerator, stove, washing machine), living room with working fireplace and two single sofa bed, bedroom with one double-bed and a normal TV, bathroom with shower and a small hall.

Why the Owner Chose Gubbio

Howning already 50% of Palazzo Balducci I decided to buy the other 50% from my sister to mantain such valuable palace in the family and because Gubbio is one of the best place to live for a tourist and a retired person

The Unique Benefits at this Historical Residence

Gubbio is consider one of the most fashinating place of the world due to its enviromental beauty, historical and artistic medieval attractions and gastronomic foods.

    • Our stay in Gubbio was the highlight of our recent trip to Italy, and Alfredo and his palazzo were wonderful. The apartment is quiet, comfortable, well-equipped, and in a great location, and Alfredo is a warm, considerate, and very helpful host. He provided information on everything from the history of Gubbio to how to find foods for my husband's special diet. We enjoyed his company, and would happily return and stay in the Palazzo again. Gubbio itself is amazingly beautiful. We highly recommend Palazzo Balducci.

    • Dear Alfredo, thank you for a wonderful stay at your lovely townhouse and thank you for your exstensive introduction to the city, the culture, the finest restaurants, visit-worthy attractions and all the other things that are not available to the regular tourist brochures. We warmly recommend others with an interest and liking to food, wine and culrureto do as we did: to take one or more weeks out of the calendar and go on a trip hundreds of years back in time. Kind regards Lis & Jorgen

    • We stayed with Alfredo during the annual Festa di Ceri and had a marvelous time. Alfredo is a humorous, genial host and you will enjoy him. The apartment itself is good; the bathroom a little dark but acceptable. Its location could not be improved. It is in the garden of a 17th Century palazzo that has a great deal of character. During the Festa we totally fell in love with Gubbio and its citizens and will no doubt return. It is evident that Alfredo is a one-man chamber of commerce for Gubbio, but he has a great product in this little town to sell. We loved our stay of six nights.

    • Dear Alfredo, Thank you for your email. We have been meaning to contact you to thank you and say how much we enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Palazzo Balducci. Over the years we have stayed in many places in Italy but never have we been greeted with such friendliness and warmth. We loved the appartment at Palazzo Balducci, it really suited our needs, it was extremely comfortable, well equipped, bright and so quiet and peaceful which was what we needed most after an extremely busy few weeks in England with our family. The amazing thing about the Palazzo is that whilst it is so quiet and peaceful one needs only to step outside the main door and find that one is in the middle of a busy thriving little town. Whilst we were there Alfredo we had friends visit us whom we took to lunch and they too shared our view that it was really a lovely place so I am sure that there will be more enquiries coming your way in the future. They also found much to delight them in Gubbio itself. We shall return your questionnare by mail, and we will be in touch when we find out the answers to your questions on emigration to Australia. best regards, Ken and Jan
