The Genius Loci Inn is lovely and the surrounding countryside is magical. I didn't want to expect too much because properties often don't live up to their websites but it is a very pretty and comfortable place, perched on the side of a hill overlooking a magnificent landscape.... just like the website pictures!

(Family - 2 adults, 18 & 21 year old) - After 18 hour days in Rome & Florence, exploring everything we wanted to see and do, we came to Genius Loci as home base for exploring the many surrounding hill towns of Umbria.

Our stay at Genius Loci is one we will always remember. It was the perfect place to just stop and rest in the middle of our 2 week visit to Italy. This trip was special to me in that my Dad, who is ill, will probably not be able to visit Italy again and one thing he really wanted to... More

The Tacconis son Michael is charming and welcoming! He helped us map out our daily adventures. Mary shared her favorites restaurants and we NEVER ate so well! Mauritzio made... More

We traveled throughout Italy on our honeymoon. Our time in Umbria was exactly what we needed-- relaxing, comfortable, quiet and calm. It was the leg of our journey where we had no itinerary other than meeting people, sipping wine, dipping bread in olive oil and just being. What a perfect place to so just that. The Tacconni family are the... More
