Perugia Airport NEW Flights!

By Alec,

Screen Shot 2015-02-23 at 09.45.41From Lufthansa great news! Starting 10th. May they will be offering direct flights from MUNICH to our regional base, of Perugia – San Francesco Assisi Airport, which is only 45 minutes drive from us and so convenient for Bellaugello Gay Guest House.  Flights will be on Tuesday Thursday and Friday.  The flight times varies slightly on the Lufthansa website and seem to begin sooner, so I enclose a link to their news page: Lufthansa – Flüge – München – Perugia

Further expansion of our local airport means that Ryanair have new route to Brindisi starting 29th. March thus a two centre holiday of Umbria and Puglia will be easier for you guys, no need to drive all the way south and back.

And there are still the connections to Barcelona El Prat and Barcelona Girona, so for those of you seeking peace and quiet after partying hard at Sitges, travel to Bellaugello has never been easier.

Here is the link to the San Francesco Assisi Airport website:  http://www.airport.umbria.it/

Marmellata – vacanza – il tempo di staccare la corrente

By Alec,

The guys at Bellaugello Gay Guest House have been busy relaxing, a paradox or what? Gay holidays do not only have to be centred on our infinity pool soaking up the sun and admiring other guys’ physiques. Nor do they have to be holidays reading books interspersed with sleep or partying, or eating, nor necessarily visiting museums and looking at glorious pictures and homo-erotic frescoes, nor climbing hills and trekking kilometres, or walking leisurely down to the soft flowing river Chiascio below the house for a skinny-dip, activity or relax, there are always a multitude of things to do, and I am intrigued by just how inventive and creative some of my guests are when on holiday here in sun kissed Umbria
One couple of guests have been out combing the country lanes and byways collecting wild fruits and sitting in the terrace of their suite here at Bellaugello, cleaning and picking over the fruit, borrowing our equipment from the kitchen and then in their kitchen in their suite boiling and bottling, making an amazing array of jams.

Yess!

By Alec,

I awoke early and looked out of the bedroom window to discover one of my guests here at Bellaugello Gay Guest House busy with the pole and net cleaning the pool. On further inspection I discovered the pool to be full of naked guys taking an early morning dip…

We are getting a new addition to the family…

By Alec,

Bellaugello Gay Guest House is getting a new member of the family.
His name is Ziggy and he will be here before Easter. He is young he is cute and he is looking forward to sharing my life here in Umbria.

I admit to liking younger men but no! I have not found a husband 🙁 applications still invited….

Ziggy is an English Setter. He is two and a half years old and has been looking for a home for sometime. I have learnt that offering to take on a rescue dog is more difficult than getting married. No simple “I do” and “he does” the process is long and drawn out and involves filling in countless forms, and a home visit to check out whether or not I am a suitable dad.

So, finally I have passed all the examinations and all that remains is for me to get to Rome and bring the young lad home!
With a face as cute as this although we have not met, it’s just gotta be good for both of us… how could I possibly refuse?

Have a seat

By Alec,

It is not very often that I come across stupendously inventive people, let alone publicise them on my blog, however there has to be an exception to the rule and my friend Claire is certainly that.

Do you have a restaurant to furnish? A kitchen table at needs chairs? Are you a collector of delightful things? Do you like to live a sustainable lifestyle? Do you think recycling is good? Fancy something original for your bedroom? If so these are for you…

She will happily accept commissions, and when over here in Umbria this summer will be making a few “Bellaugello Backs” chairs – it could be your photo in the Bellaugello infinity pool, you just have to be here at Bellaugello Gay Guest House in glorious Umbria, Italy – Give your boyfriend the real must have souvenir!

Three men…a threesome…they came…

By Alec,

Early morning news from Bellaugello Gay Guest House… No, not what you think, well I don’t think so, but, a neighbour reported three men were spotted this morning filling holes in Valdichiascio. I am shocked.
