"One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things."

Henry Miller

Located in the heart of Umbria, Genius Loci is the ideal base for your holiday in Umbria and for exploring the region's renowned landscape, art, picturesque hill towns and “treasures of the table”. One and a half hours from Rome and Florence and conveniently close to Tuscany, Umbria beckons, beguiles and enchants its visitors with its “spirit of place”. Even the journey through the bucolic countryside from sight to sight constitutes an integral part of the excursions themselves.

Umbria is an ancient land of saints, poets and artists, centuries-old traditions, world famous handcrafts (ie. hand-loomed fabrics and ceramics) renown wines, acclaimed food and unrivaled beauty and charm. Every town or hamlet abounds in artistic treasures and kindles a sense of discovery. Umbria is home to some of the finest works of Cimabue, Giotto and Benozzo Gozzoli, as well as to several of the most outstanding examples of medieval architecture in central Italy.
Some of the most famous works in the history of art are only minutes away at the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria in Perugia and at the Basilica di San Francesco di Assisi.

Umbria hosts many outstanding international manifestations, such as Eurochocolate, Umbria Jazz, Festival dei Due Mondi and Il Mercato delle Gaite to mention just a few. All are less than 40 minutes away from Genius Loci.

The proximity to all the major points of interest makes it possible to take in the sights and to enjoy time at the inn itself. Genius Loci is ideal for longer stays which allow you to explore, experience, relate to and immerse yourself in the spirit of place, in the true essence of Umbria, in the unique and magical atmosphere of Genius Loci.
