We’re Jenn (Australian) & Guy (South African)—we met and fell in love in the U.S., but it was Italy that stole our hearts. Now we call Umbria home. We created Nido di Gufi as a soulful sanctuary for travelers who seek beauty, connection, and a slower, more meaningful way of life. Each apartment is part of a 12th-century palazzo we lovingly restored with care, comfort, and character in mind. We host because we love sharing this slower, richer way of life—with morning bells, stone streets, and views that take your breath away. We believe travel should be transformational, not transactional—and we treat every guest like a dear friend discovering our favorite town for the first time. Whether you’re here for romance, retreat, or simply to wander, we hope Nido di Gufi feels like your own private nest in Umbria. Hosting you is a joy and an honor. Welcome home. 💛

NIDO DI GUFI- YOUR PRIVATE PALAZZO IN THE HEART OF UMBRIA Some come to Umbria for a taste of Italy. You’re here for full-body immersion. Welcome to Nido di Gufi, a secret sanctuary inside a 12th-century palazzo at the top of Todi—one of Italy’s most enchanting hill towns. With four private luxury residences to book individually—or together as your own private palazzo—this is where la dolce vita becomes your lifestyle. Think morning bells echoing through cobbled streets, sunset wine on your balcony, and long, slow days inside ancient stone walls. Each residence is unique: Barn Owl (1-bedroom penthouse): Light-filled and unforgettable, with windows on all sides, countryside views, a rainfall shower, and a SMEG kitchen. Snowy Owl (2-bedroom apartment): Ideal for couples, friends, or families. Two king bedrooms, a pasta-making island, and a balcony for golden hour aperitivos. Spotty Owl (1-bedroom hideaway): Warm, quiet, and full of charm. Perfect for solo escapes or romantic retreats. Little Owl (studio): A cozy, efficient space with rustic elegance. Best for solo travellers who value beauty and function. Step outside into timeless Todi—where café tables spill into piazzas, and golden light bathes Renaissance churches. No car needed. Everything is walkable. Want to explore? Umbria opens up like a dream: Montefalco’s wineries, Roman ruins in Spoleto, olive oil tastings, truffle hunts, market tours, and private chefs—curated just for you.

It’s not a villa. It’s something rarer. A home you’ll never want to leave.

Nido di Gufi is tucked on a quiet street in the heart of Todi’s medieval center—just a 2-minute walk from the stunning Piazza del Popolo, often called one of the most beautiful squares in Italy. Our neighborhood is peaceful yet central, where local life still unfolds with authenticity and charm. Step outside and you’re within moments of wine bars, family-run trattorias, gelato shops, artisan boutiques, and centuries-old churches. In the mornings, you’ll hear birdsong and the soft ringing of church bells. In the evenings, the golden stone glows as locals gather for an aperitivo under the sky. There’s no need for a car—everything is walkable- even if you have to take it slow, seeing we live on a hill top. Yet just beyond the walls, the rolling hills of Umbria stretch in every direction. It’s a place where time slows, senses awaken, and every corner holds a story. We can’t wait to welcome you to our neighborhood.
