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.

Sarah and Sal are wonderful hosts at this gorgeous hilltop house with amazing views. They let us bring our two dogs which was kind of them. Our suite was spotless clean and comfortable. Sitting by the pool was great with stunning views ( children from other guests loud at times) Breakfast was fine and same thing every day for two weeks. Drive to nearest restaurants which are all fantastic? Spent two weeks here and thank Sarah and Sal for there warm and welcoming hospitality 😊

This is our fourth weekly stay with Sarah, Sal and Rosa at La Cuccagna. We keep asking ourselves "shall we go back to Umbria again, or travel to Finland or some such?" But this place just keeps pulling us back - our warm hosts, the food, the pool, the terrace, the vegetable delivery chap, the people, and La Stalletta, our own little cottage with a fully equipped kitchen and terrace. We spent two days reading books in the quiet pool, overlooking the sunny hills of Umbria, drinking G+T's and eating proccutto and cheese on the terrace, and completely downloadi

La Cuccagna is a small piece of heaven on earth. We have been going there since 2009 and still are blown away by the views, local food and wine, as well as Gubbio, Spello, Assisi and all the other wonderful mediaeval towns nearby. Sarah and Salvatore are fantastic hosts and the accommodation and pool are superb. We love Sal's pizza and dinner nights and will continue our annual trip to La Cuccagna - appropriately the Italian for 'abundance' or 'land of plenty'

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.

Introducing
Salvatore & Sarah Marano
Sal is from the south of Italy and Sarah is English. They spent many years travelling around the world together then bought this house with its land, which they've transformed into an organic paradise. They are passionately committed to their way of life and year after year they give guests an authentic local experience in a beautifully peaceful place.
La Cuccagna was the perfect place to relax and unwind. Salvatore's warm welcome with wine was just thr beginning of a lovely week with everything we could have asked for. We had the small apartment which was plenty big enough for me, my Mum andy 3 small children - meals cooked in our little kitchen and eaten as the sun set on our private terrace were wonderful. The pool was the best! Gorgeous places to sit around the pool, lovely gardens, yummy breakfasts and best of all the view! Simply stunning.
