We are Australians in Italy for the first time. We enjoyed our week in Perugia. No car so we walked along the country lane to catch a local bus into Centro, and walked uphill to town on several occasions. The artisanal pasticceria which Guiseppe will tell you about was worth multiple visits. Free Illy espresso with each purchase. Guiseppe was quick to respond to our messages and helpful with suggestions. His Gold Card was useful!
Too cold for a swim, sadly, as the pool looked very inviting.
Grazie.

Giuseppe, the host at Villa Nuba, welcomed us warmly to his gorgeous home that felt like being in the countryside despite being just minutes from central Perugia. The immaculate, one-bedroom suite had a spa-like bathroom (steam shower/jacuzzi), old-world and cozy decor in the living room and bedroom. The king-size bed was very comfortable--a real plus. Giuseppe had a welcome basket waiting for us--pasta, sauce, wine--that made it easy to pull together our first meal in the modern kitchen. It was a bit cool to swim int the pool, but we did enjoy drinks there and on our private patio. Highly recommend this gem of Umbria.

What a perfect vacation in the hart of Italy.
We have been traveling in many countries and we have been visiting many great spots and apartments over the years.
Villa Nuba is absolutely one of the apartments we have to visit again.
Our host Giuseppe welcomed us the first day and introduced us to the most amazing and well equipped apartment ever seen.
Everything was clean and cozy, even the fridge was prepared with a start package including local vine, water, breakfast products and other good stuff to get a great start on our vacation.
The location is simply amazing, and in walking distance to the old town where you find great restaurants and other cozy places.
Gioseppe was extremely helpful during our stay and advised is the best restaurants and places we never would have found by ourselves.
The pool area is clean and well equipped and we had our oven sun beds during our stay.
If you want to find the “real Italy” then you have to go to Umbria, and Villa Nuba is absolutely the perfect location for a great vacation.
We really look forward to visit Villa Nuba once again!

Villa Nuba Bonfigli apartment
On arrival we were greeted by Giuseppe who was truly delightful. He took the trouble to give us a brief tour of Perugia by car pointing out the best local amenities and places of interest which was incredibly helpful.
The apartment was well appointed with furnishings, crockery, tea towels, bath towels and flannels. Pool towels are not generally provided although if you forget to take your own as we did you can hire a towel for a fee. It should be noted the apartment is not on ground level but is accessible up a flight of steps.
Giuseppe provided a welcome pack which was great so there was no need to rush straight out to the supermarket for supplies. A nice touch. Thank you Giuseppe.
We enjoyed our stay at Villa Nuba. The pool area is well tended with plenty of loungers and chairs available. The region is full of beautiful places to visit steeped in Etruscan and Roman history. Villa Nubia is a great base from which to explore the Umbrian countryside, food and wine.
Perugia itself is a walkable distance from the villa mostly up hill but that makes the walk home even more enjoyable! Definitely worth a visit.
This was a great place to stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Wunderschöne und komfortable Ferienwohnung
Wir waren Ende März 2018 in der Villa Nuba. Der Besitzer, Giuseppe Nuzacci, hat uns vom Bahnhof abgeholt und gleich noch eine kleine Stadtrundfahrt mit uns gemacht. Giuseppe ist ein ganz reizender Gastgeber, er hat sich liebevoll um uns gekümmert. Er kennt offenbar halb Perugia und hat bei mehreren Restaurants und Läden einen Rabatt für seine Gäste in Form der "Villa Nuba Gold Card" ausgehandelt. Ich wollte das erst gar nicht glauben, aber es hat funktioniert. Wir haben mit der Villa Nuba Card in zwei Restaurants einen Rabatt von 10 % bekommen!
Die Wohnung befindet sich in einer ruhigen Wohngegend und bietet alles, was man für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt braucht, inklusive ein sogenanntes Jacuzzibad (so etwas wie ein Whirl-Pool). In 5 Minuten Laufentfernung befindet sich ein Lebensmittelmarkt, eine Bäckerei sowie eine Bushaltestelle. Mit dem Bus ist man schnell in der Stadt und am Bahnhof.
Alles in Allem ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt. Ich kann die Villa Nuba jedem empfehlen, der eine Ferienwohnung in Perugia sucht.

Living like a local in Perugia
We initially booked a three month stay at Villa Nuba and were looking forward to our first Christmas in Perugia. We were not disappointed and had such a wonderful time that we extended our stay into the new year. Giuseppe and his family could not have extended a warmer welcome or made us feel more at home. They made sure that we had all of the information we needed to make the most of being on holiday in this amazing region of Italy - whilst living as locals - the perfect combination! Our appartment was comfortable and very well equipped and we especially enjoyed the jacuzzi bath and sitting in front of the log fire on winter evenings.

As beautiful as the photo's show it to be.
I stayed in the Bonfigli self catering apartment at the Charming Villa Nuba and it was as beautiful as the photo’s on the website. Giuseppe and Elga were fantastic hosts, welcoming, helpful and accommodating. Perugia town is about a 20 minute uphill walk away and Giuseppe will give you a tour of the town to get your bearings, help you go shopping for food if you need it and collect you from the airport if you don’t have a car. In fact, this was one of the additional plus points, you don’t need a car to get around, everything is a lovely walk away and public transport is affordable and reliable. Giuseppe will give you maps and lots of tips on what to see as well. He even managed to hunt down recommendations for vegetarian restaurants for me and I can happily recommend L’Erba Voglio and a La Taverna (vegetarian friendly and amazing) Not only is Perugia a great stepping off point to explore Umbria but Perugia itself is worth a visit, stunningly perched atop a hill and looking out towards Assisi.

Wow!
All the many positive reviews are true! From the very start of the booking process the communication was excellent. I had many email questions which were responded to promptly. We then had to change the date due to a family wedding and again the owner was very considerate and flexible. Bonfigli is very cozy with many finishing touches that you would never see in normal holiday accommodation. We had the pool to ourselves most days and the Umbria view is stunning. Guiseppe helped me arrange a surprise birthday treat for my husband (the wine tour). He was discreetly in the background if we needed help (ordered us a taxi, ordered pizza delivery and telephoned our next accommodation in Assisi to ask for a room with a view). Villa Nuba is a very special place - our memories will last a lifetime! I wish I lived there! Enjoy!

Amazing Stay
We had a fantastic week at Villa Nuba in the del Bonfigli and were very sad to leave - a week wasn't long enough ! We went to Umbria last year and visited Orvieto, Todi and Spoleto. This holiday we spent 3 days visiting Perugia and 3 days visiting Gubbio, Assisi & Spello and Trevi,Montefalco and Bevagna. All these places are beautiful and only between 20- 40 minutes away from Villa Nuba - so the perfect location ! We also liked being able to walk into town in the evenings and one day took the bus which are extremely frequent. Although August nowhere was busy and there are so many amazing places to see and eat and drink .
We loved the apartment - fantastic spa and jacuzzi which we used and the pool area was amazing. What set this rental above others is the friendliness of the owner Giuseppe,who we loved ! He is passionate about Villa Nuba and wants to share that with his guests . We appreciated him taking us in his car to show us Perugia and all the other help he gave us. We can't wait to go back!

Een prachtig onderkomen in Perugia!!
Een prachtig onderkomen op slechts 1,5 km lopen van het oude centrum van Perugia en toch een heerlijk rustige ligging.
Grote gastvrijheid van eigenaar Giuseppe. Wij waren te vroeg maar dit was geen probleem. We konden rustig in de schaduw wachten tot ons onderkomen klaar was.
Een schattig appartement van alle gemakken voorzien met alle ruimte en comfort.
Een prachtig zwembad met heerlijke stoelen om te relaxen.
Bijzonder was dat Giuseppe ons in zijn auto een korte rondleiding gaf en ons hiermee wegwijs maakte.
Ook op culinair gebied heeft Giuseppe ons goede tips gegeven waardoor wij diverse keren heerlijk gegeten hebben en gastvrij werden ontvangen in de restaurants.
Kortom: alle lof voor Giuseppe en zijn familie!!

Scenic quiet location
Very nice peaceful place with nice views of the countryside. Great owners/host as they are on property and take great ride in their place and the comfort of their guests. Great pride in their region, which is well deserved. Very comfortable here for the two of us for the two weeks we stayed. Greatly enjoyed it and will return.

Infinitely beautiful, precious memories
My husband and I stayed in del Bonfigli (Villa Nuba) with our dog from September 1 to December 31. Every day we experienced the beautiful surroundings -- spectacular views from our apartment, el fresco dining, relaxing pool-side, and walks nearby and to the center of Perugia. The location provides easy access by car to hilltowns and historic sites. But the key to all this were the owners and hosts, Giuseppe, Elga and their son Lorenzo. Giuseppe did everything possible to make our stay comfortable and fun, and Elga was so kind and always ready to help. I can't thank them enough for making our stay in Italy so interesting, enjoyable and memorable!

Terrific value, great owners
We stayed in del Bonfigli from September 1 to December 31 and couldn't have imagined a better experience. Guiseppe, Elga and even little Lorenzo are great owners and hosts, the apartment is a wonderful and Perugia a great place for days, weeks, or months.
Giuseppe goes well out of his way to meet your every need and goes well beyond the expected to make sure your stay is enjoyable.
The price is terrific value for money, the pool great spring, summer and autumn and the heating more than adequate in winter.
Highly, highly recommended. Umbria is a little off the the beaten track, which makes it perfect for sightseeing, festivals and other activities that are not overrun with other tourists, staffed by overworked workers or filled with rip-off joints.
The food is great, the hilltowns spectacular, and everywhere we went, the people were incredibly friendly, accommodating and genuinely welcoming, even in the tiniest villages and the biggest towns.
This is an Italy way, way beyond the big three tourists hubs of Venice, Rome and Florence.

Beautiful place, friendly and comfortable
My friends were the actual renters of the 1-bedroom apartment here - and I was lucky enough to stay with them for two weeks of their 4 month rental. Quite comfortable single bed for me as a visitor, and everything we needed. I was so impressed by the friendliness of Giuseppe and Elga who treated us as part of their family. I saw Giuseppe really go the extra mile for example helping my friend with a difficult parcel delivery that had gone wrong. The location is just stunning with beautiful views.

Visit Umbria--a delight waiting to be discovered!
Two weeks in “the green heart of Italy” steps you back in time while enjoying the culture, food, wine and sights of this interesting region. After exploring Perugia as your home base, you can easily take your GPS and drive out on fun day trips to discover beautiful and unique hill towns that surround you. Go north to see the beauty of Gubbio, go east to experience the treasures of Assisi, go southwest to be amazed by lovely Orvieto and its duomo, or head southeast to find the charming and interesting towns of Montefalco, Spoleto, and Norcia. And these are only a start! Each offers a unique and memorable experience.
It was great to return to Villa Nuba each evening--a wonderful home-away-from-home. It is charming, well cared for, and peaceful. Owners Giuseppe and Elga are gracious and welcoming, as well as knowledgeable and willing to help as you explore the delights of Umbria.
Tuscany’s “sister to the south” is more affordable, less crowded with tourists, and every bit as lovely. Visit Umbria, get close to the real Italy, and make memories (and friends) that will last a lifetime.

Wonderful apt, beautiful surroundings, great host
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Villa Nuba Bonfigli apartment for 13 days in March of 2015. We had a fantastic experience, and we look forward to returning in the future. This is a perfect place to stay to explore by car Perugia’s beautiful and friendly hill towns like Assisi, Gubbio, Spello, Spoletto, Montefalco, and Orvieto.
The host: Guiseppe was the perfect host. His English skills are outstanding, and during our stay, he went out of his way to make sure that our stay was perfect. He lives on site with his wife, Elga, and his small son Lorenzo. He grew-up in Perugia, and he knows everything there is to know about the area. He is fiercely proud of being Umbrian, and was very helpful in helping us plan our day trips to the various Umbrian towns.
The Bonfigli apartment: Perfect for a couple. Charming, romantic, and well appointed. Very comfortable, peaceful, clean, and well equipped. Excellent high speed WIFI with an access point in the apartment. Complete with refrigerator, dishwasher, cook top, washing machine, Jacuzzi bathtub, and fireplace. Adjoining patio and pool area.
The area: The walk to Perugia can be challenging if you are less than physically capable. Perugia is quite hilly, and the walk to town can be difficult, especially in the rain. Taxi and bus options are available.
Driving tips: Villa Nuba is somewhat difficult to find as it is on the side of a hill, northeast of the city center of Perugia. IOS maps and Google maps may try to route you through the city center. Be careful to avoid driving in downtown Perugia. Instead, route around the city to the east, and approach Villa Nuba from Eugubina road. The entrance to Villa Nuba is at the intersection of Eugubina and Piero della Francesca. It was helpful to view a satellite photo looking for the pool to find the apartment.
Exploring the area: A car is really necessary to visit Umbrian towns. There is safe parking at Villa Nuba. Plan visits to Umbrian towns by locating parking lots outside of the city center. Set GPS to arrive at the parking lots, and walk to the city centers.
I look forward to returning to Villa Nuba. I plan to stay in touch with Giuseppe, as I now consider him a friend as well as a gracious host.

10 weeks of stay in excellent atmosphere
I had the opportunity to use the smallest apartment for 10 Weeks (Mid of October to Christmas) Resumé:
Excellent Accommodation, warm and friendly treatment by the host-family.
Clean and appropriate.
Only one small device was missing: handheld for the shower hose (according to the owner it will be adopted to the whirl pool soon - and is missing only in the small apartment).
Be aware, that apart from the bus-connection (bus stop 300m and 600m,) the approach to the town by walking might be fatigue, due to the elevation difference. So for older or slightly handicapped guests the permanent use of a car is necessary - but this describes the situation in Perugia in general. The close access to a main entrance-exit road to/from Perugia offers an excellent opportunity for any trip by car or bike.
The garden and yard - including the pool-area is paramount and comfortable as well as safe for children. The host-family is always reachable and offers all of its possible support. All in all an excellent accommodation for families, couples or - like me - single stay persons.

Fantastic Holiday Accommodation
Our first time in this part of Italy and we were amazed at its charm and beauty. The Villa Nuba is on the outskirts of Perugia which is the regional centre. We arrived early to a warm and friendly welcome from our host, Giuseppe. While our apartment was being prepared he gave us a brief tour of the town where he showed us the main features, good restaurants, where we could park and where there were traffic restrictions.
We instantly fell in love with the town. It has layer upon layer of ancient buildings, steep roads and fine architecture. Visit the main art gallery - it contains fabulous examples of early religious paintings from Umbria.
On our return we were shown our delightful apartment. Very clean, spacious with lots of features (and really useful Wi-Fi). The large bathroom had a large jacuzzi and the bedroom had a ceiling painted with a star scene that gently revealed itself when the lights when out. The outside area had lots of seating and the pool was wonderful. It was quiet, restful - a great escape from our normal lives.
Our stay was all too short but we visited Assisi and Spello as well as Perugia. Giuseppe provided us with details of excellent local restaurants and they all gave great food and service.
Perugia is a lovely place, the Villa Nuba a great set of apartments but the best thing about our stay was the warmth and hospitality of our hosts Giuseppe and Elga. We hope to return soon!

It Doesn't Get Better Than This
We recently stayed at the Villa Nuba in the Bonfigli apartment. Everything was done to perfection. The apartment was spotless, charming and very well equipped. There is a lovely salt water pool, that is also very clean, and has plenty of seating options. All of those things would have been enough, but to add to the perfection were the amazing owners of the Villa. Giuseppe, Elga and their family went out of their way to make our stay exceptional. They are warm, hospitable and will do whatever it takes to make things perfect. We travel quite a bit, and have been to Italy many times, and I have to say that the Villa Nuba surpassed our expectations.

This was the second time we’ve stayed at Villa Nuba; last year for a month and this time for a little over three weeks in October 2013. Need I say that we love it? There aren’t enough superlatives for describing it. We stayed again in the del Bonfigli apartment, a one-bedroom with Jacuzzi bath. The apartment is beautifully furnished, and completely comfortable. Guiseppe and Elga have made sure that the kitchen is well supplied for light cooking and have added a convection microwave to the appliances. The lovely gift basket they provide guests on arrival provides the first night’s and next mornings meals; and the grocery store a short walk away has everything you could want for preparing meals in your apartment. The bed is divine (I never sleep well in other beds – except this one), and the linens, heavy Italian cotton, a luxury. While it was autumn and a bit rainy on this visit, the patio in the afternoon sun was a cozy warm spot to read a book. And the views from Villa Nuba can’t be beat! Guiseppe and Elga are the most gracious hosts, going out of their way to make guests welcome and ensure that their stay is a good one. They provide tips on restaurants, sights, shopping and many other things. The Villa Nuba Gold Card gives you discounts at restaurants and shops – all of them excellent.
When you stay, get the Perugia walking tour guide at the tourist info center in the centro storico. It provides a guided tour of the five different neighborhoods of old Perugia, each of them quite distinct. The guide provides history and background on the churches, towers, steps, palazzos and other sights. We spent a day on each one of the walking tours, and felt thoroughly enriched after each one of them. It will give you a feel for the beautiful city that you won’t get from just enjoying the Corso Vannuci.
Travel through Umbria – to me the most beautiful part of Italy. The mountains and walled medieval cities, the soft light, the deep greens of the forests and silvery green of the olive groves playing against the yellow fields – you won’t find this kind of beauty any where else! We traveled by bus and train to many of the towns and small cities of Umbria – Spoleto, Orvieto, Citta di Castello, Spello, Assisi, Gubbio, Todi – making it easy to get there and back. Each of the towns has a distinct character, but all of them are beautiful and we found the people friendly, helpful, warm, and happy to have visitors. The restaurants (some recommended by

My wife and I stayed at Villa Nuba in October 2013 for almost a month. This was a second time to stay at Villa Nuba (we stayed in June 2012).
Villa Nuba is an excellent choice for many reasons. First, Giuseppe and Elga, who own the apartments and live in the same complex, are wonderful. They are extremely helpful and very friendly. They helped to make our stay an enjoyable experience, especially with our limited (and in my case very limited) ability to speak Italian. Second, the apartment (we stayed in the smallest of the apartments on both of our trips) was clean and comfortable. It has a well-equipped kitchen (with a dishwasher), a Jacuzzi tub, and a washing machine in the apartment (we hung our clothes on the patio to dry on sunny days and used the dryer in the utility room located just across the patio). Third, the swimming pool and seating areas in the patios provide relaxing (and quiet) places to read and be in the sun, and to look at the gorgeous view from the apartments. Fourth, the surroundings are beautiful. The property overlooks hills and olive groves and features wonderful sunsets behind the rolling hills. The property is well away from the main road, so there is very little noise. Fifth, within a five minute walk from the apartment is a very good grocery store, a pharmacy, a tobacco store (where you buy tickets for the local buses), two excellent pizzerias, our favorite café, and a bank with an ATM. We could easily reach the historic center of Perugia either by walking up the hill (about a 20 minute walk, though it usually took longer as we stopped along the way to take photos or stop at our favorite café) or by catching a bus 5 minutes away from the apartment. You can catch the local buses to the historic city center, to the main bus terminal (for trips within Umbria) or to the train station.
Umbria is the best place to experience Italy. I have been to Rome, Venice, Florence, Milan, Lake Como and several places in between in Italy, and Umbria is by far the best. It offers a rich history, beautiful hills and forests, and the best food anywhere. Perugia is the place to be located, given its access to public transportation for trips to the hill towns in Umbria and to other places in Italy. Many people think that Tuscany is the place to be, but in our experience, Umbria offers much more. Perugia is a wonderful city with several self-guided walking tours of neighborhoods that are interesting and beautiful. It has wonderful

What an AMAZING stay we had at Villa Nuba? We stayed a week and our apartment was quaint, modern, clean and relaxing. Giuseppe and Elga were warm , kind and EXTREMELY helpful! Giuseppe is a true ambassador for his city of Perugia and for Umbria region. He is passionate about making sure your expectations are exceeded and you leave with great memories about your time spent there. I would not hesitate recommending this place to anyone! Thank you Giuseppe, Elga and LORENZO!! for a memorable Honeymoon stay!

My husband and I stayed at Villa Nuba for a week. We have traveled in Italy, and enjoy having our own apartment, so we usually check into the B & B. And we have never experienced anything like this. Giuseppe and Elga gave us a very warm and hearty welcome. When we were shown the apartment was on the door a heart with "Welcome" in Italian and English - it warmed. The towels wrapped with a satin bow, a welcome pack consisting of toast, pasta, tomato sauce, wine mmm was ready. In the fridge was fresh milk and water. There was even ice cubes to drink in the freezer!. There was fresh olive oil and balsamic vinegar in sweet falconer. There was coffee, sugar, and salt in sweet cans. Dishwasher tablets and tablets for the washing machine was also taken care of. After the movie drove Guiseppe us around the city, where he showed us where we could find the supermarket and good restaurants. We would strongly recommend Villa Nuba - it is available not better.

We stayed in Villa Nuba for two weeks. It was a great place for us adults, and just perfect for the four children. The children called the apartment home the whole stay in Perugia. The kids loved the swimmingpool and they still talk about Guiseppe and Elga and Lorenzo. The apartment was nice. Good space and the beds were good. It was easy to go to the centrum of Perugia. There was a good pizzaria nearby, but mostly we made our own food in the nice kitchen, which had good equipment. We highly recommendt Villa Nuba to other familys!!!! :)

We stayed a wonderful week in the lovely Villa Nuba apartments. Guiseppe and Elga were the perfect hosts.(As well as Mr Lorenzo - the perfect baby). From picking us up at the station, the orientation tour of Perugia, not to mention, the supermarket stop to get our supplies and the great welcome basket of goodies they do everything well. We stayed in the apartment del Bonfigli which was well suited to our needs and was lovely and so comfortable and we really felt at home. Guiseppe's attention to detail is what makes the stay so terrific. Even their cat made us feel at home. We really felt that we were living the Italian life while we were there. We couldn't recommend any place higher than Villa Nuba for your stay in Perugia. What it says on the website is just as it is - Perfect

All of the information supplied by the owners was accurate. Villa Nuba is a renovated 600 year old Villa with rental apartments. We had a 1 bedroom, spacious apartment which had a spa in the bathroom and toilet/bidet. The kitchen is well appointed with modern appliances and it has a living/dining room. The apartment was immaculate. There is a private courtyard that has morning sun and the front of the property has spectacular views into the countryside. The owner picked us up at the train station, showed us how to get around Perugia, stopped at the local Supermercato to allow provisioning and showed us how to get to places of interest. The owner has negotiated with local businesses to develop a "Villa Nuba Gold Card" which provided discounts as well as identifying best value authentic cusine. We tried all the recommended eating places and the food and prices were fantastic. I would unreservedly recommend Villa Nuba to anyone visiting Perugia. We have already planning our next LONGER visit!

Guiseppe is a great host. He met us at the train station on our arrival in Perugia and three weeks later delivered us to the station for our journey to Rome. Three weeks of impeccable hospitality in a wonderful part of Italy ensured we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Nuba. From the extensive welcome basket to the tour of Perugia and the wealth of information about buses, trains, shopping and sights Guiseppe made us feel totally at home. Villa Nuba is very well situated to the town centre, bus and railway stations and to supermarkets and pharmacy. Guiseppe and his wife warmly welcomed us and we highly recommend staying at Villa Nuba.

Our family spent a wonderful three days at Villa Nuba and it was the best experience every. This was the first time using a vacation rental, and we will never go back to staying in hotels! Giuseppe is an outgoing and warm host! He made us feel right at home at his Villa. He came up with a huge list of places to visit, recommendations on places to eat and even helped us track down some Truffle vendors, simply amazing! We will definitely stay here again!
