| Villa Nuba is everything you could dream of for an Umbrian holiday. It's close to the city of Perugia but far enough away to be peaceful and picturesque. Our hosts were unbelievably hospitable-nothing was too much trouble. They live on site and were always willing to act as chauffeurs,tourism advisors, language interpreters and bargain consultants. The extras they provide-the welcome food hamper (great after travelling all day); the first trip to the supermarket;the Pilates lessons; the intimate knowledge of evrything and everybody in Perugia and surrounding areas were invaluable. We are already planning our return trip-and we've only been gone a week. |

Where do you begin? The Villa Nuba is a must for anyone who loves Umbria in Italy. Giuseppe welcomes you into a holiday of a lifetime. The Villa is set in beautiful surroundings and has a very high standard, and is well equipped and maintained. The nice touches are the welcome basket of Italian food and wine on arrival and he gives you a flavour of the area with a short drive in his car to the nearby city of Perugia.
Whilst not essential, a car is an asset to visit some of the local places of interest.
Grazie Mille Giuseppe

"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! "

| My husband and I loved Villa Nuba. We were travelling with our 3 small children, ages 8, 5 and 3 and the pool was a big hit to keep everyone happy. Guiseppe was a wonderful host with lots of local information on Umbria and places to visit as well as the tour of Perugia to point out best supermarkets, pizza places etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the food, wine and all Perugia has to offer. We can only highly recommend Villa Nuba and hope to return. Thanks Guiseppe for making our holiday so memorable and fun with kids! |

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!

Hello Giuseppe and family,
What can one say about our host - magnifico!!
Many thanks for the personal, whirlwind convertible tour of Perugia to help us get acquainted with your marvelous city upon our arrival. And the advice on towns to visit in Umbria. Our time spent at Villa Nuba was so relaxing and made easy - with a very welcome basket of delights, afternoons spent swimming at the pool and long chats about life over wine in the evenings.
It was our childrens's favourite spot in Italy and we hope one day to return (perhaps for the Jazz festival)
Grazie,
Julie, Tom, Hunter and Jake

Dear Guiseppe,
We absolutely adored our stay in Del Perugina, Villa Nuba, and miss it already! First of all, picking us up at the train station was so appreciated, as we had been traveling for 30 hours by that time! Then, to find our bountiful basket of food waiting for us was wonderful, as all the stores were closed on Sunday! Your friendliness and your family's kindness was exceptional.Remembering our excursion in your car to the outside region of Perugia city was one of the highlights of our holiday! We loved the elegance and charm of our apartment, which was equipped with everything one would need- truly "a home away from home". The views of the surrounding countryside were spellbinding as were the gardens surrounding Villa Nuba. Thank you so much for the most wonderful stay in a beautiful are called Umbria. We will remember it always. We highly recommend Villa Nuba Apartments. We will be back again!
Ciao,

My wife and I stayed at the Perugino apartment at the Villa Nuba for 10 days
in April 2007.
We were met by Giuseppe, the owner, and from this moment we knew that we
were in for a very special holiday. He is a most delightful host who
genuinely cares that his guests have a good holiday. His local knowledge
saved us a considerable amount of time in searching out where to go and what
to see. Nothing was any trouble and the short drive round the immediate
area on arrival was certainly unique in our experience!
The apartment was found to be beautifully appointed and well furnished. The
“personal touches” were evident with fresh flowers from the garden, a small
library of books in English and a welcome basket of food and drink.
During our stay, we met members of the family as they went about their daily
lives and this helped us to feel part of the Italian culture and way of
life. We have travelled extensively in Italy and this is by far the
friendliest part of the country, and one of the most beautiful.
Would we go back? Certainly YES!

The apartment was charming and very comfortable. (I especially enjoyed the spa bath.) Your advice and directions were invaluable and I'm still savouring the memory of the restaurant in Gubbio that you recommended. Thank you for a great stay.

Dear Giuseppe,
My parents and I had a wonderful time in Perugia and particularly at Villa Nuba. We loved the Colle Giorgio II area and particularly the very comfortable Del Perugino apartment. It was very spacious, clean and everything worked perfectly. Giuseppe, you and your family were very welcoming and helpful. We thouroughly enjoyed the pesto sauce made by your mother and please give her a big thank you. The welcome basket was very useful for us, especially if one arrives on a Sunday when all the shops are closed. Having the computer room was definitely a plus. I give the whole villa an A+. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished at Villa Nuba. |

Comment Text: Dear Guiseppe,
Thank you so much for your hospitality and making our stay at Villa Nuba so perfect.You have captured the ideal vacation experience. Not only is the Villa set in the most beautiful region in Italy, it has every modern convenience, is absolutely spotlessly brand new in it's restoration and yet retains the charm of centuries old architecture. Best of all is the host and Director. I will always remember your genuine helpfulness and kindness and hope to see you again soon.
Don’t forget to call if you visit London. Thanks also to your mother whose elegance was evident in the feminine and practical additions to the apartment and to your wonderful father, Signore Nuzacci.
Auguri Sinceri

Dear Giuseppe,
I hope this e-mail finds you well and that you enjoyed your holiday in the South! We are now well settled back after our trip,so we would like to take a moment to thank you and your family for the hospitality and kindness shown to us during our stay! We enjoyed Villa Nuba so much and found you so helpful and willing to give of your time ! Our trip to the vineyards and lunch in Montelfalco will go down in memory as one of the most enjoyable days! Also your mother and father and Carmen for all their help and kindness, please give them our kind regards!
Emma and Adam both enjoyed the holiday just as much as we did, and Emma would so like to make a return visit, she talks of her visit to the chocolate factory to all her friends back here in Ireland.
The cleanliness and comfort of our appartment was excellent and the pool was so nice and so clean that one could only enjoy a trip to Villa Nuba!
We would like to return for at least 1 week next year if you can accomodate us. As yet we are not sure of exact dates in July that we will travel but as soon as we do we shall hopefully be able to get booked with you!
Once again a most sincere thank-you for a fantasatic holiday that has gone down in memory as our best holiday ever! Should you ever wish to make a trip to Dublin/Ireland we would love to be able to assist you and show our thanks for a brilliant Villa Nuba time!
All the best for now and our kindest regards to all your family,
Ciao from Emma and Adam!

We stayed at Villa Nuba for 5 weeks in September – October 2004. It is very conveniently situated and, whilst it has beautiful views of the countryside, it is also very close to public transport, cafés and shopping. The centro storico is also within reasonable walking distance.
We were delighted with our stay there and had a marvellous time. The Nuzzaci family were very welcoming and friendly. Our apartment was spacious, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Giuseppe and his family reside on another part of the property and during our stay they were always very pleasant but never intrusive. Giuseppe himself was always most helpful and assisted us in many ways from collecting us at the station to assisting with booking football tickets.
We can unhesitatingly recommend Villa Nuba to anyone wishing to visit Perugia.
We hope that all is well with you and your family. We are hoping to return to Perugia early next year.
Tanti auguri,

(…..)I've now received my photographs and have been
re-living the whole thing, as well as sharing it with my friends. Umbria
really is a beautiful part of the world and Villa Nuba is the perfect place
to stay. The house itself, of course, is lovely and the location is
perfect, but so much of the charm of staying there is due to you, your
delightful mother and the lovely, dark-haired lady, whose name I never
learned, but who was so very kind to us - as, indeed, were you. It was all
above and beyond the call of duty, Guiseppe, but was, I assure you, very
much appreciated.(……)
Thank you so much, Giuseppe, for everything you did for us and for the
sympathy and understanding you showed to two people you barely knew. Dad
and I talk about you a lot and we have told so many people about del
Pinturicchio - perhaps you will see a lot more Scottish visitors
(well-behaved ones!) in the future?
I hope your mother had a wonderful holiday and that everything will go well
for you in your forthcoming exams. If ever you want to visit Scotland, you
know how to contact me!
Thanks again.
Kindest regards,
Fiona

Diana and I are
writing to tell you and your family how much we enjoyed our 2-week stay at your
VILLA NUBA. It was the most attractive and comfortable of all of the
accomodations we stayed in during our ten week trip to Italy and Provence.
We were thoroughly impressed by the beauty of the villa and its
hillside setting as well as the view from the windows. We were equally
impressed by the inside of the apartment del Bonfigli. We don't recall
ever staying in an apartment, lodge or hotel room that had nicer furniture,
décor and appointments. Every room was inviting and comfortable, and the
jacuzzi bath was a special treat.
What we appreciate the most, however, were your extra efforts to
make our Perugia experience easy and low-stress. We are particularly
grateful that you picked us up at the train station, but more than
anything else that you helped us by negotiating such a good rental car price for
us. We would have paid nearly twice as much if you hadn't helped us with the
car.
Also, your suggestions as to day-trips to nearby villages made the
whole experience absolutely wonderful! Each of those villages was a gem.
Again, mille grazie for all your efforts and favors. We look
forward to staying at VILLA NUBA the next time we visit Italy.

Hi Giuseppe,

We really appreciated you picking us up at the train station (in S. Giovani!) and getting the rental car. I will definitely pass out your information to friends who plan a trip to Italy.

The whole
time, the memory of the fun time we had in Umbria, and your beautiful
apartment, and how very nice and friendly you and your family were,
kept us happy the whole way. It's going to take a while before I get
used to being back home. In the few hours we've been here, we've told
so many people about your wonderful apartment and your generous
hospitality that they all want to go.
I've told everybody who has called (family and friends) to welcome me back
that Perugia is the most beautiful town in Umbria, and that Umbria is
the most beautiful region in Italy and its people are generous of
spirit, patient and kind.
Please write and let us know how you and your
family and your girlfriend are doing. We hope everything goes well.
Best regards and a big hug and kisses for you and yours,
Aileen and Sara
