La Cuccagna

We found this place to be very disappointing and suggest you revisit as all the reviews are over 2 year old. Sarah and Salvatore clearly try hard but the small rental is very run down. The promised toiletries non existent - a small sliver of soap and a bottle of shower gel. The shower was a single jet of water… The shutters wouldn’t close and banged all night. The sofa bed is filthy. We were promised an early check in at 230pm only to finally get access at 430pm. We had come from a 6am flight and there was no apology just a speech about how hard sarah had worked. Beautiful pool though.

We had another lovely stay at La Cuccagna this summer in the small self-catering cottage, which we love. The property has changed a little over recent years and is now all self-catering, but that’s what we like from a holiday, and a recently updated kitchen in the cottage with a dishwasher is great! The views are spectacular, the pool amazing - this is rural Umbria at its best - peace and tranquility with lovely hosts innSarah and Sal, for whom nothing is too much trouble. Thank you both - we’ll be back!

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!
