The Charming Villa Nuba villas-apartments

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Nuba, what a GREAT place! First of all our host Giuseppe was the best. When we arrived he was there to show us around the property, and he even took the time to have a quick drive to town with my husband, to show him where we could do groceries, where to catch the best espresso and fresh bread, so we didn't have to go look for it ourselves the next morning :) Very handy! Giuseppe also had a list with restaurants and shops he recommended, with some places offering discount for guests from Villa Nuba. All the things we visited from his list were very good places with excellent food and drinks. The apartment was super clean, beautiful, and everything was there. It was also a very child friendly place: our 2 and 3 year old loved it there, there's a playground, and we also spent a lot of time at the pool. It really felt like home, we will definitely come back!

Lovely spot; very friendly service Villa Nuba is picturesque, comfortable, and very relaxing. Giuseppe is an outstanding host -- very thoughtful and right nearby should he be needed. His suggestions with regard to nearby restaurants were particularly helpful. We found the beds to be very comfortable, the kitchen well stocked with all of the equipment we needed, and the grounds around the Villa neatly kept and very beautiful. The view of the surrounding countryside from the deck beside the pool was stunning. Villa Nuba is a wonderful and very reasonably priced place to stay in the Perugia area.

We just came back from our stay in Perugia at the Villa Nuba apartments. I can't recommend it enough. The apartments are very well kept, very comfortable and spacious. The grounds are meticulously clean and beautiful. One of the big advantages is having the host Giuseppe living next door. He showed us around town, told us were to park the car when in town, where to buy groceries, gave us restaurant recommendations, and altogether was on hand whenever we had questions. All that without invading our privacy or limiting us in any way. Have I mentioned that Villa Nuba is also very reasonably priced? We had a great vacation, and if we ever go back to Perugia, Villa Nuba will be my first choice.

I have lived in Rome and had Italian clients for many years but I had never really explored Umbria.My wife and I discovered the Villa Nuba on the Internet and decided to spend a month in Perugia as our base. It was an outstanding positive decision.The host of Villa Nuba Giuseppe is an exceptionally charming, energetic person who is totally available with suggestions and insights about the Umbrian way of life. Giuseppe is fluent in English and has made our stay singularly memorable.The swimming pool and beautiful Umbrian landscape are conducive to many hours of relaxation and serenity. We decided to not rent a car for many reasons but especially because the roads are often quite challenging and had no trouble utilizing the bus and train systems, Perugia is a marvelous place with many interesting sights to explore. This is complimented by the many exquisite hill towns. We LOVED Spello,Assisi,Spoleto.Gubbio and Todi. So next time when you are thinking about a trip to Italy, certainly consider Rome,Florence and Milan but add Perugia to your list and consider staying at Villa Nuba,you will not be disappointed.

My wife and I had a fabulous 3 week stay at Villa Nuba. The apartments (3) are lovely, spacious, comfortable, clean and fully furnished. Ours (Pinturicchio) had a private balcony with grand views of the Umbrian countryside and valley below. The location of the villa is optimal----it is away from the crowds, traffic and noise of the city, but close enough for a rigorous walk to the historic center of Perugia (or better, to take the inexpensive bus just a 5 minute walk from the villa’s driveway). Grocery stores and a superb bakery / coffee shop are a ten minute walk away. While there is much to see and do in Perugia itself, Villa Nuba also made an excellent home base for us to explore Umbria, including Assisi, Spello, Gubbio, Orvieto, and Lake Trasimeno (Passignano Sul Trasimeno). There are many other places that we plan to visit when we come back. All of these excursions we did easily (and cheaply) by train / bus, making our original plans to rent a car unnecessary. (The trains and buses by the way are safe, clean, modern, and reliable). We put the money saved by not renting a car toward overnight stays in nice hotels during our trips to surrounding hill towns. Giuseppe is an excellent host--- friendly, considerate, very helpful in getting us settled in and providing recommendations and advice about restaurants and sight-seeing. He took the time to give us a ride to the train station on our day of departure. In summary, our time at Villa Nuba was a delightful getaway to a beautiful, un-crowded part of Italy with friendly people, great wine and food, and incredible sights to experience. We highly recommend this place.

We stayed at Villa Nuba from October 2021 thru December 2021 in the Perugino 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment. The purpose of our visit was to explore the Umbrian area as we were considering relocating to Italy. Our goal was to integrate into the Perugia community as residents not necessarily as tourists. Villa Nuba is located in the Monteluce district of Perugia (Northeast of the historic district). It is conveniently located (5-10 minute walk) to local services including supermarket, pharmacy, café/pastry shop. It is about a 10 minute drive or 30 minute walk to the historic old center. You can easy get around the area on foot or public transportation (bus stop at the end of the street), a car is not necessary but having one would certainly facilitate exploring the area or daily living. We did not have a car, we ultimately rented a car intermittently for exploring the region. The apartment we stayed in was on the ground floor, one side below ground. There is one apartment above, some minimal floor noise (hardwood/tile floors) but nothing that bothered us. Two nice size bedrooms and 2 baths, one with shower the other with a jacuzzi tub. There is a small washer in the main bath. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The kitchen is small by US standards but quite adequate. There is a 4 burner gas cooktop, refrigerator, as well as a tabletop convection oven and tabletop microwave. We were able to cook daily meals without feeling the kitchen was too small. The dining/living area was comfortable, a TV with local and satellite TV stations available. There is stable high speed internet we used daily without connectivity issues or dropped connections. Heating system was adequate, never felt cold . We had the opportunity to use the pool and patio before the season changed. The pool is wonderful as is the patio complete with recliners, an outdoor grill and table and chairs. The property is well cared for and the area is a lovely suburban type neighborhood that we always felt safe in. Giuseppe, our host, was wonderful. He is multilingual and we had no issues communicating as his English is quite good. He is a wealth of knowledge regarding not only the Perugia area but Italy in general. He was always available to help. One of the best hosts we have meet in our travels. The Villa offers its guest a discount card for local services, restaurants, etc. My wife was able to find a great hair stylist through Giuseppe who was better than her stylist in the States. Villa Nuba is a great place for a short term stay if your visiting Perugia, as a student studying for a semester, or anyone looking for an extended stay that does not need to be in the center of the city.

My husband and I had an amazing stay planned at the Villa Nuba from March 30 to April 4. Let me start out by saying that the views from the Pinturicchio apartment with the terrace are absolutely breath taking! The apartment has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Dishes, cookware, tea pots, coffee maker, etc. which made cooking breakfast or your main meal a breeze. The fireplace is a wonderful touch too. We were given a list of restaurants, a discount card for dining, and when we arrived, Giuseppe went through all the features of this gorgeous apartment right down to the hand painted frescos on the wall and stars that gently glow on the ceiling in one of the bedrooms when you turn the lights out. If you need anything Giuseppe is there on the spot to help you. And in my case, help me he did, he went above and beyond. On April 1 I had sniffles and sneezing, and thought uh oh…so I went with my husband to get tested at the local pharmacy for COVID. (which Giuseppe scheduled for us) Hubs was negative, I was positive. So, our lovely vacation was cut short right then and there. My husband got on a plane the next day and went home. I had to stay back by myself and was in quarantine for at least the next 7 days. And here’s where Giuseppe stepped up to the plate to help me more that I could have imagined. My reservation was until April 4 and I had to remain in quarantine until at least April 7. Giuseppe was able to extend my stay and that involved some juggling with existing reservations, which he was able to do to accommodate my extended stay. He also called the pharmacy to get my COVID testing done 7 days later, picked up and paid for home test kits, offered to pick up groceries, medicines and anything I needed to make my stay more comfortable. I even got a “good morning how are you feeling text” via WhatsApp since I was there by myself until I was able to test negative. It was such a comfort to know that Giuseppe was there for me. THIS is the big difference in staying in a hotel vs. a villa with the owner on site. So, if anyone is on the fence whether staying at the Villa Nuba is on your mind, do not hesitate to stay here! YOU WILL LOVE IT! Between the gorgeous views on the property, proximity to many small, quaint Italian towns and villages with great restaurants you can’t go wrong. Thank you so much again Giuseppe for your help and kindness to make my stay as comfortable as possible at the Villa Nuba.

Great hospitality at Villa Nuba - the furnishings and details at the apartment were thoughtful and well appreciated. A nice, thick mattress on the bed, comfortable bathrooms include a Jacuzzi tub. Note that we had the basement apartment which was comfortable but needed to spend time on the pool patio for a view and sun. Overall, recommended!
