The Experience

Beautiful vistas swoop across wooded hills, olive groves and the odd hamlet… you feel on top of the world. Paved paths lead through cherry trees, lavender, herbs, and a little veg patch you may raid, to a hammock, pergola and exquisitely positioned infinity pool with a shady open-air gym and sauna.

Casa del Fattore is a villa which takes up the ground floor of the farmhouse, Umbrian in style with exposed beams and a big covered pergola for memorable outdoor meals. La Stalletta, the cottage, is cosy and charming – great for larger parties as overflow, or taken independently. Both have good kitchens. Your lovely eco-conscious hosts Salvatore and Sarah think of every last detail: lavender bags, flowers and their own olive oil; truffle and asparagus foraging tips; pizza and pasta making (and eating!).

Meals can be arranged now and then – rustic dishes made from fresh organic ingredients and eaten al fresco in the dining area over the pool with fabulous views.

La Cuccagna is a delighful haven in the countryside of the Umbria region.

La Cuccagna is an absolute haven and we had a fabulous stay. We miss the stunning view of the Umbrian hills from the amazing infinity pool! Sarah and Salvatore were brilliant hosts and really went above and beyond, organising transport and booking amazing local restaurants for us that we would never have discovered without their advice. We were also lucky enough to sample one of Sal’s famous pizza nights. We’ll definitely be back!

Our stay at La Cuccagna, a charming Agroturismo with expansive views of the stunning Umbrian hills, was pure magic! Sarah made us feel right at home with her hospitality and tips about all things Umbria. Sal’s generosity of knowledge sharing when it came to pizza was incredible. Mentoring comes naturally to Sal, whose passion for pizza making is reflected in the quality of the pizzas he makes (the best you’ve had). We thoroughly enjoyed the pizza making experience which he spilled hours of his time into, and learned so much from his expertise. We can’t wait to be back!

We are repeat visitors to La Cuccagna and stayed most recently in April 2024. It's a beautiful stone farmhouse with an incredible view. The beds are extremely comfortable - we never sleep better than when we stay at La Cuccagna. Sarah and Sal are the most wonderful, warm, helpful and generous hosts. They helped us arrange so many activities - truffle hunts, winery visits, restaurant suggestions - and Sal's pizza night is not to be missed! If you're looking for a relaxing stay with easy access to visit wineries, Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio and more gems in Umbria, stay here!

What a superb holiday. When we arrived at La Cuccagna we were not only met by a breathtaking view but the warm and friendly welcome of the lovely hosts - Sarah & Sal. They were full of helpful advice, hints and tips to enjoy our exploring of the area - and there is plenty to see and do. Amazing little towns full of culture and fabulous food. We are an active family and we found lots of paths to run and cycle. The pool is just a delight to get into to cool off and I could day-dream for hours looking out over the Umbrian hills. And, Sal's pizza - voted by by three teens as the best in Italy!

Location

The neighbourhood

This is such a wonderful spot with views of the Umbrian and Tuscany hills – walking will be sublime. The nearest big town is Gubbio (25-minute drive), one of the most gorgeous medieval cities in Italy. Perugia and Assisi are a 30 or 40-minute drive. There are several 'agriturismi' serving good local dishes within a 20-minute drive and Lake Trasimeno, a natural paradise is a good day trip.

Local points of interest from Salvatore & Sarah Marano

  • There are enough medieval hilltop towns within easy reach to keep you busy for many return trips & always see something new. We have plenty of tips to keep the kids happy too. Join in with one of the many exciting festivals celebrated throughout the year.
  • Umbria boasts outstanding natural beauty and truly impressive landscapes for you to enjoy. There are some wonderful walking opportunities right from our doorstep but we also have good quality trail maps for spectacular national parks and Lake Trasimeno.
  • Immerse your senses with truffle hunting and pasta making courses here ‘at home’, dine with spectacular valley views in 'La Spasetta' our new dining room with floor to ceiling windows or let us arrange a tour at a fabulous organic vineyard.
  • For the adrenalin junkies among you we make arrangements for paragliding, caving and whitewater rafting (to mention just a few) with our contacts who are safe and reliable.
  • For those wanting to take home souvenirs we make recommendations with local artists, artisans and food producers that you wouldn’t find on the tourist trail.
  • We happily give our guests useful tips to get ‘off the beaten track’ and experience the very best our local area has to offer so we look forward to meeting you and sharing some of our best kept local secrets.
