La Cuccagna

We wanted a relaxed location for a two week holiday and that is what we got - and more. La Cuccagna is perfect, and Sarah and Salvatore go out of their way to make their guests feel welcome, even before you arrive there. We flew into Perugia and were too early to check in, so Sarah had recommended a great local restaurant for lunch on the way from the airport - and the directions were perfect. The location is amazing, near the top of a hill, with views over the valley and beyond, all topped off with an infinity pool which has the same stunning views. It’s a great place to do nothing

We were very lucky to have landed at La Cuccagna. The setting is unparalleled at the top of a ridge looking down into the Perugia valley. Unsurpassed sunsets, good workout in the infinity pool and hosts who could not do enough for us. Not sure how they pull it off with raising their darling daughter but they do! Best yet, Salvatore carried our heavy bags into our room.

We have just spent a truly marvellous two weeks staying at La Cuccagna near Gubbio in Umbria. Salvatore and Sarah are wonderful hosts and take infinite pains to ensure the happiness and well-being of their guests. Nothing is too much trouble. The location is superb, high in the hills between Perugia and Gubbio with stunning views. The facilities are great, a happy blend of traditional and modern. The communal breakfasts were a highlight of our stay, always interesting fellow guests, full of humour and laughter. Then there are the occasional dine-in evenings, when Sal cooks super food .

Another return visit to the wonderful La Cuccagna. This time we stayed in La Cisterna, a tranquil B&B room with it's own lounge and kitchenette. May is a fabulous time to visit Umbria for a long weekend and we were rewarded by warm weather and stunning sunsets. Sarah and Sal have always got a recommendation up their sleeves for a special outing and yet again they came up trumps. Revisiting nearby Gubbio and Spello was an experience I will never tire of.
