This is the place you dream about when you picture the perfect Italian vacation spot—at least it is for my husband and me. The three days we spent here in April were far and away the highlight of our trip to Italy. The inn, located just a mile outside the charming Umbrian town of Bevagna, is perched on the most... More

Everything one can wish for is right here, a lovely site with a wonderful view, the inn designed and decorated with a great sense of quality and style, and first class service with a personal touch. The beautiful town of Bevagna is close; Assisi, Perugia, Todi and other places with exquisite medieval art and architecture are within easy reach. But... More

I've been to this lovely Inn once and am going back. The location is amazing, the view out of this world. The Inn itself is lovely, the family that owns and runs it are so gracious, helpful, and make one feel completely relaxed and comfortable. Outdoor terrace area where one can rest with a yummy breakfast, a clean, beautiful pool... More

Everything about the Inn is designed for pleasure - the view, decor, comfortable rooms, pool, great service, and location. And even on hot days, the Inn was cooled by a delightful breeze. The olive trees, vineyards, and sunflowers on the hillside below were lovely - your photos will look exactly like your fantasy of Italy - except the fantasy is... More

Opening the shutters to our room that first morning was magical and set the tone for our entire stay.From our beautiful room we could take in the rolling countryside, the vineyards bursting with Sagrantino grapes, and the nearby hill towns that we visited daily. A "geometric artist" had created a breathtaking landscape and had put us in his painting. The... More

We returned to Bevagna for the Mercato delle Gaite this past June and there was no question that we would once again make Genius Loci our home. We were fortunate to spend 12 glorious days with Michael, Mary and Maurizio Tacconi, who serve their guests as gracious hosts, tour guides and local area experts. When we first stayed at Genius...

Arriving at Genius Loci we felt like we had arrived on a story book page—a classic Umbrian setting. It was very difficult to drag ourselves off the charming terrace overlooking the landscape and vineyards where breakfast is served. The farmhouse is totally charming and comfortable with such attention to design detail that one has to smile with appreciation at each... More

My friend and I, accompanied by our teenage children, spent 3 nights here in late September. From the moment we arrived until our reluctant departure, we felt very comfortable, welcomed most openly by Michael, who made it clear that our comfort was his priority and to make ourselves completely at home. The views were beautiful (that's an understatement) and we... More

My husband and I stayed in Genius Loci for 7 nights in June. Our room was perfect and certainly matched the description provided. Michael was a charming host and we were made to feel like guests in his own home. Nothing was too much trouble, we had excellent recommendations for sight seeing and restaurants. Even the rather mixed weather did... More
