Meet The Owners

A great love story often begins in the midst of a life journey, and so it was for Jenn & Guy.

Our story unfolded in Todi, Italy, with the discovery of our beloved Palazzo — Nido di Gufi.

​I’m Australian, Guy is South African, and we met in South Carolina, USA. From that moment, we embarked on a shared adventure to create a 'Global Life' — one rich with passion for travel, diverse cultures, love, and meaningful connections.

We made the conscious decision to slow down, live more deliberately, and build a home that reflected our passions and inspired joy. After an 12-month world tour, we found our forever home in Todi. The palazzo spoke to us immediately, and so began the process of making it ours.

The journey has been both challenging and inspiring, every step of the way. But we wouldn't change a thing. Todi, Umbria and our Palazzo, embody everything we love and value in life.

We’re the kind of hosts who invite you into our world — and maybe, just maybe, we'll become your latest social media obsession. Come along with us, and perhaps one day you’ll be our cherished guest at Nido di Gufi.

Join us in Todi

Nido di Gufi is more than a place to stay — it's Jenn and Guy's home in Umbria, and now, yours too.

Whether you're here to explore the medieval streets of Todi, wander through vineyards and olive groves, or simply slow down for a week, Jenn and Guy are on hand to share their favorite local spots — the market days, the trattoria only locals know about, the best time of day to watch the light hit the valley.

Discover Todi the way we do. Book your stay below.
