Set on top of a hill surrounded by pine and olive trees, Villa Nuba is an elegant country house 15 minutes walk from the town of Perugia in central Umbria. Wake up to the sound of birds chirping, spend the day dipping into the saltwater pool and dine al fresco as the sun sets. Simply enchanting.
Once a historic farmhouse, Villa Nuba has been lovingly converted into three stylish and romantic apartments where you can escape from the stresses of everyday life and immerse yourself in complete rest and relaxation. The Perugino residence, with its Jacuzzi bathtub and wonderful starry bedroom ceiling, is gorgeous, the shared gardens are perfect for enjoying a book or a siesta, the Umbrian countryside is quiet and unspoilt, and the historic and artistic attractions of Perugia are just a short walk away. Whether you’re a couple, a family or a group of friends, Villa Nuba would be an idyllic setting for a traditional Italian retreat.
Known for its cultural treasures, its prestigious university and its mouth-watering local delicacies and fine wines, Perugia is a beautiful cosmopolitan city with plenty to offer its visitors. There is a vibrant selection of bars, restaurants, cafes and clubs to explore, not to mention the shops, theatres, parks, museums and festivals. Or outside the city you can hike in the hills, discover a myriad of picture-perfect villages and visit the Adventure Park in Ponte Felcino, home to river canoeing, tree climbing and bike rides. And if you fancy a day trip then Perugia is perfectly located for visiting Assisi, Spoleto, Spello, Gubbio, Todi and Orvieto, or indeed the big cities of Florence, Rome, Siena and Pisa.
Getting There:
Travelling East on the SP327, join the E45 heading north to ‘Cesena’. Stay on the E45 and take the Ponte Felcino exit. Stay on the exit road as it sweeps left under the E45 and take a right turn onto Strada Molinella, a tree-lined dual carriage-way. After about 2km veer right onto a single-lane slip road, which sweeps counter clockwise up and over Strada Molinella. Immediately take a right (signposted ‘Perugia’) onto Via Eugubina. After about 4.5km (and after passing a yellow petrol/gas station on left), turn right where you are immediately faced with a triple fork in the road. If you pass a second petrol station on the left you have gone too far. Take the extreme left hand un-paved road and after a few hundred metres, take the ramp at the right hand edge of the road to arrive at the gates of Villa Nuba.

Further Info
Perugia is in the middle of the Italian region of Umbria so it's perfectly positioned for exploring central Italy which is where many of Italy's most famous towns and cities are situated, including Perugia, Assisi, Orvieto, Florence, Siena, Pisa and Rome. Although the villa is in a rural hilltop setting, it is also just a 15 minute walk to the beautiful medieval town of Perugia with its shops and restaurants. There's a local bus stop 150m from the villa, with the central bus station just 2km away. Your nearest eatery is a great pizzeria just 250m from the villa. The central train station is 3km away. Lots of shops, markets and restaurants within a couple of hundred metres. The owners are very happy to offer advice on places to go, things to visit, restaurants to try, food, wine, olive oil, medieval towns - you name it! They will also give you a Villa Nuba Gold Card which gives you preferential rates in some of the local restaurants, trattoria and shops.
The villa-apartment is located near to the city centre.
The most delightful thing though of our stay was our host, Giuseppe. What a wonderful host he is. Not only does he speak English but he goes out of his way to show you how to access the city where the nearest supermarket is and ever so many other things as well. There was also a welcome (and very welcome it was too) basket of food waiting for us on our arrival including a very nice bottle of red wine.
A lovely, lovely man is Giuseppe and Villa Nuba is in a lovely, location. Perugia is a great and extremely interesting city to explore
Alas we were there for only 7 days. Far too short a time. Make it longer if you can. So much to do and so little time to see and do it all.
Loved it.
The kitchen was well equipped and we made several meals, eating breakfast each morning on the outside patio while listening to the birds and welcoming visits by Pato, the resident cat. After a day of touring, we welcomed the solitude at the villa – evenings were very quiet and restful enabling us to regroup before the next day’s adventures. Giuseppe was very welcoming and hospitable. They genuinely cared, going the extra mile ensure their guests’ stay was comfortable. Villa Nuba is well situated for exploring all Umbria. The old quarter of Perugia can be reached after a 20 minute walk, uphill both ways!
The details in the rooms including hardwood floors, beautiful furniture, artwork and fabulous bed linens contributed so much to the enjoyment of our stay. Also helpful was a list of recommended shops and restaurants in the area that Giuseppe provides, along with a very useful discount card. We relied heavily on his suggestions and were never disappointed.It removed much of the "hit and miss" time from the holiday!
My young children, who had a brilliant time, want me to tell you that "there's free wifi, the ice cream in Perugia is divine and that Giuseppe does a really good job keeping the pool clean." What more is there?
