We travel to Italy often and this was one of my favorite stays. We stayed 5 nights and can't wait to go back. The location, hospitality, rooms, and breakfast were all excellent. We were informed on the day that we arrived that EuroChocolate the largest European chocolate festival would be happening in Perugia that weekend. Michael provided us with excellent... more

Genius Loci is a meticulously renovated 1800's stone farmhouse overlooking a valley of vineyards not far from hilltowns of Spello, Montefalco and Assisi. From the moment I arrived, I was swept up in the gracious hospitality of the Toccani family. Michael Toccani, who studied & worked in hospitality in the US where he went to college, manages the inn. I... more

We just returned from an 8 day visit to this wonderful B & B. Michael and his mother Mary are wonderful hosts. Both are very knowledgable of the area and we were given many suggestions of things to do that do not appear in any guide book. Michael is the manager of the Inn and will be the one to... more

My husband and I and my parents stayed at Genius Loci for nine nights. It's so rare that a place so wonderful, at first glace, can grow on you and actually improgve over time. We've been, seemingly, everywhere through Tuscany and Umbria and are yet to find a locale so close to heaven. Never before have we traveled to a... more

My husband and I just returned from the most wonderful vacation we have had in years. We had wanted to visit Italy but not do the harried “see everything, do everything” touring vacation. Friends had enjoyed a delightful vacation in Umbria, central Italy, and highly recommended a B&B called Genius Loci, located near the medieval town of Bevagna. I checked... more

My girlfriend and I stayed at Genius Loci last spring and I have to say it was an absolutely incredible experience. The small inn is tucked away up in the foot hills of Umbria. The view out our window of the wide valley (complete with views of at least 5 medieval castle towns) was breath taking. Michael was a kind... more

My wife and I stayed at Genius Loci for 5 nights in August of 2008, and had a magnificent time. We’ve been dreaming of returning ever since. Setting/Location: Genius Loci is located in the medieval town of Bevagna, about 2 hours north of Rome, just under 2 hours south of Florence. The entrance to the Inn is a hidden dirt... more

It is difficult to express the pure bliss one feels sitting out in the pool overlooking the Italian countryside. My wife and I were looking to spend 5 days of relaxation, enjoying Italy's finest wine and food - And Genius Loci and the surrounding area was the perfect place to find this. The hosts were super accomodating and their knowledge... more

Two weeks ago, I sat under an incredibly starry Italian sky with an excellent, post-dinner glass of wine in my hand, jazz softly playing in the background, and felt as if I were in heaven. It was actually Umbria, of course, but on that June night at country inn Genius Loci, I felt pretty close to heaven. By day, the... more
