Genius Loci Country Inn

We spent a wonderful, relaxing, and culturally enriching week at Genius Loci, a countryside B & B outside the small Italian village of Bevagna in the province of Umbria. Our hosts, Michael and Mary, were always "at the ready" to help embellish our vacation experience, including cooking classes, wine and olive oil tasting classes, and informed recommendations for dining out as well as touring the surroundings. Taking in the view from the B & B itself was highly restorative, as it looked out upon a pastoral landscape reminiscent of the middle ages. Overall, it was a welcome, refreshing respite.

This place radiates peace, warmth and charm in spades plus breathtaking, idyllic views you could never tire of. Added to that the care and attention of your hosts, Michael, Mary and Maurizio, and any number of pretty towns to visit nearby, you won't want to leave

Over the course of ten years, we have had the wonderful pleasure of staying at Genius Loci six times, for a total of 47 nights. Our first stay was a very lucky guess on our part that we would enjoy a small inn in the Center of Umbria. We were so taken with the beauty of the property and the friendliness and helpfulness of the proprietors that we keep going back for more and more delightful stays. We now feel as though we have found our home in Italy. Everything about the Inn is perfect - cleanliness, breakfasts, tranquility, and comfort. One cannot possibly expect to find better lodging.

We have visited Genius Loci since 2014. Mary and Michael are so welcoming and make you feel at home. On stepping out of the car on arrival we feel the stresses and strains of the hectic life drift away and we look forward to days and nights of peace, quiet and comfort. The rooms are delightful and there is always a plentiful breakfast. The pool is a haven in the hot Italian summer. Lay back, read a book or take in the beautiful panorama with the gentle sounds of the countryside in the back ground.

My husband and I stayed at Genius Loci 3 times between 2015 and 2018. On our last visit we bought along our two daughters and their spouses. Each visit seemed better than the time before. We could not have asked for or expected more generous, knowledgeable and welcoming hosts as Mary and her son Michael. We explored the beautiful and historical area surrounding Genius Loci, and never got tired of just sitting on the terrace after a day of sightseeing and just enjoying the magnificent view. I give Genius Loci Country Inn my highest and most heartfelt recommendation.
