MAGICAL MOMENTS at NIDO DI GUFI

There is a quiet magic that stirs in Todi each spring.
It’s in the golden light of sunrise spilling into the valley, in the way the village slows just enough to feel like your own private movie set.

Yes, Easter brings its beauty.
Yes, there’s the Move to White chess tournament in nearby Assisi.
Yes, the archery contests and the blooming wonder of Todifiorita.

And beyond that—across Umbria—there’s a swirl of spring festivals that feel plucked from a storybook.

But for me… the real enchantment lives in the in-between.
In the slower mornings with a cappuccino in the piazza, the way the town exhales after winter.
It’s long walks through olive groves, afternoons curled up with a book and that view, the smell of dinner made from wild asparagus and market treasures.

If you’ve been dreaming of space, light, and a little everyday magic—
April and May are your moment.

Book your stay at Nido di Gufi now.
Let spring in Umbria work its quiet spell on you.

🎨 LIGHTS. COLOUR. MAGIC. ART. And the PERFECT perch in Todi!

This year’s Todi Festival is turning up the heat—with British abstract legend Ian Davenport signing the 2025 manifesto and taking over the Sala delle Pietre and Capitano Palace with his wild, dripping, sculptural, mesmerizing colour stories. If you’ve ever seen his work up close, you know: it doesn’t sit still. It shimmers. It moves. And this year, it’ll be moving through Todi.

But he’s just the beginning.

Todi Festival is a tradition—every year, this hilltop town becomes a living gallery. Expect a rich lineup of exhibitions, performances, installations, and international artists around every cobblestoned corner. Past years have brought giants like Arnaldo Pomodoro and Mark di Suvero, and this edition promises to be just as electric.

Which is where Nido di Gufi comes in.

We’re your portal. Your haven. Your nest. Right in the heart of this ancient town buzzing with contemporary art, international energy, and curated beauty at every turn. From August 30 to September 7, the town comes alive—and staying here means you’re not just attending the festival, you’re living inside it.

BATTERED & BEAUTIFUL…

Renovating a 12th-century palazzo is not for the faint of heart. From navigating the maze of Italian bureaucracy to the endless renovation surprises, this journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. There were days—weeks, even—where we felt completely bruised by the challenges, questioning our sanity.

And yet, much like us, Nido di Gufi has weathered its own storms—centuries of families, wars, shifting rulers, abandonment, and the relentless force of time. But here we stand, both the palazzo and its new guardians, stronger, restored, and more beautiful for the journey.

A new chapter begins, and we’d love for you to be part of the story.

Spring and Summer bookings are now open—come experience history, resilience, and beauty firsthand.

PRIMAVERA IN ITALY – A SEASON OF BEAUTY AND AWAKENING

Spring in Italy is a masterpiece—a season painted in soft light, wildflowers, and the first warm whispers of summer. It is the air laced with wisteria, the gardens bursting into life, the hills rolling in every shade of green. It is renewal, abundance, and the quiet invitation to step into something new.

Like Botticelli’s Primavera, where Venus stands at the heart of a world in bloom, spring in Umbria is a dance of beauty and transformation. The orange trees, the meadow of wildflowers, the gentle unfolding of love and rebirth—it is all reflected in the landscapes just beyond our doors. In Todi, in Spello, in Assisi, in the hilltop towns where art and nature intertwine, you will find the living poetry of an Italian spring.

At Nido di Gufi, you are perfectly placed to experience it all. Wake to the scent of blossoms drifting through open windows. Wander through medieval streets where Renaissance echoes in every archway. Drive through the countryside where poppies sway in the breeze, and every turn reveals a scene worthy of a painting.

This is spring in Umbria. A season of art, of nature, of renewal. A season waiting for you.

Bookings are now open for 2025. Reserve your stay and step into Italy’s most beautiful season. ➡️ www.nidodigufi.com 🌟painting picture I took

GODDESS

She is not just myth. Not just memory. Not just a whisper from a time long past.

She moves through you. Through us. In the way we create, in the way we love, in the way we hold the world together with unseen threads.

For centuries, we have been the heartbeat. The rhythm of life itself. The keepers of lineage, the makers of beauty, the weavers of story and sanctuary.

She is there in the way you pour the morning tea, in the way you touch the earth, in the way you open your heart and let the wildness in.

To know her is to know yourself. To honor her is to honor your own power.

Embrace her. Embody her. Become her. In your own, singular, undeniable way.

23/03/2025

And
when the seasons change,
will you too?

As spring awakens the Umbrian hills, a quiet transformation takes place—vineyards blush with new life, medieval towns bask in golden light, and time itself seems to slow.

Here in Todi, the changing seasons are an invitation. To wander sun-warmed stone streets. To savor long, lingering meals under wisteria-draped pergolas. To feel the pulse of history beneath your feet and the promise of something new within you.

At Nido di Gufi, the shift is felt in every detail—fresh florals on the table, morning light spilling through centuries-old windows, the hush of the countryside embracing you in its rhythm.

This is not just a place to visit. It is a place to arrive. To shed, to bloom, to belong.

Will this season be the one that calls you here?

Your story begins in Todi. Your home is waiting at Nido di Gufi.

✨BLESSINGS✨

Nido di Gufi is a place woven with ritual, superstition, and quiet magic. A home where history lingers in the walls, where every stone holds a whisper of the past.

We have poured our love into restoring this space, honoring its spirit while inviting in new life. A dear friend—a priest—has blessed the house. The rooms have been cleansed (though a friendly ghost may still wander), and before each arrival, I light fragrant incense, a gentle offering to welcome the guests who are meant to find their way here.

Every stay at Nido di Gufi is more than just a visit—it’s an encounter with something timeless, something enchanted. ✨

SOULFUL SUNDAY

“It’s your story. Feel free to hit them with a plot twist at any moment.”

There comes a moment when you feel it—the quiet pull toward something more. A life that feels richer, deeper, more aligned with the truth of who you are. Sometimes, it begins with a single step. A shift. A decision to choose differently. To leave behind the familiar and step into the unknown, where the magic of reinvention awaits.

Travel has a way of unlocking this. It takes you beyond routine and into presence. It reminds you of who you are when the noise falls away. It places you in the path of beauty, of possibility, of moments that shape you from the inside out.

Maybe your plot twist is waking up in a sun-drenched palazzo, sipping espresso on a quiet terrace in Todi. Wandering through ancient stone streets where time moves slower, yet somehow more meaningfully. Maybe it’s giving yourself permission to pause, to savor, to dream again.

At Nido di Gufi, you are not just staying somewhere—you are stepping into a story waiting to unfold. A story that begins with presence and ends with transformation.

Your next chapter starts here.
