We adore that terrace… we adore their worldclass dinners… we adore that cypress lined road to the house…  simple rooms with the necessary, clean bathroom, towels, bed sheets and very quiet rooms.  A place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city’s life.  An excellent place to base for day trips around the area.

Annelie and Georg are delightful hosts, heart and soul dedicated to this heaven’s earth spot, memorable!

Simplicity at its finest

I stayed here for one week, it was a beautiful experience. The perfect place to chill, rest and enjoy a perfect view of the Umbrian´s borgos and villages. Close to Bevagna and very easy to find. Annelie and Giorgo are lovely and you will enjoy your stay there, also their magnificent breakfast. Definitely recomended!

A wonderfull place

This B&B is the best I have ever stayed at thus far in decades of traveling within Europe.  The breakfast itself was magnificent, served graciously in what can only be described as befitting a culinary magazine photo.  I was very touched by the fact that Annelie made delicious pancakes for me, the first ever batch she has attempted!  (At the dinner the previous night, she asked me what I would like for breakfast.  I responded tentatively, "pancakes".  The dinner crowd laughed as this was an odd, very American response to the group of otherwise Europeans assembled there.  Sure enough, Annelie presented me with a scrumptious plate of pancakes the next morning.)  Our room and bathroom were very clean, and I have extremely high standards for bathroom, etc., cleanliness. Moreover, the bed linen was very welcome as it was not the usually annoying-to-me flimsy bedspreads found seemingly everywhere in Italy.  The bed featured lightweight duvets and proper duvet covers. Again, the latter were a pleasant surprise as I have found that even on the rare occasion where duvets are provided in Italy, they are NOT covered with duvet covers, which is highly unsanitary.  The dinner we elected to eat at Il Grotto was extraordinary!!!  I cannot rave enough about it.  It was among the best ever dinners consumed in several trips to Italy at several very high quality restaurants.  So do elect to eat at least one dinner there.  We only stayed here one night (we had an apt rental on Silvestri Square in Bevagna for the previous four nights), but when we return we would automatically elect to stay with Annelie at Il Grotto for at least a week, eat all dinners there, and do day trips with the B&B as a base.  The B&B is very close to the town by car.  AND the free wifi service was zippy and very refreshing as it can be difficult or at least spotty in Italy!!!! Thank you for such a wonderful, memorable, peaceful, welcoming and caring experience as well as two meals that were off the charts!!!

Absolutely Exceptional Experience at a B&B

We stayed at Il Grotto 3 nights in the early summer of 2015, and found the hospitality and experience second to none. The B&B is beautiful, accommodating, and relaxing. The views are breathtaking. But the food is what really takes it over the top. The elaborate fresh breakfasts and gourmet dinners will win over even the most serious gourmands.

Delicious views and food!

We (my wife and I) stayed at Il Grotto 5 days in June, 2014. This is a perfect base for visiting Umbrian hill-towns.
    The view down to the village of Bevagna is magical. You are surrounded by olive trees and vineyards. The loudest sound  is the call of a bird. 
     The good sized rooms are simple but with first rate essentials: very good mattresses, top quality bathroom fixtures, and scrupulous cleanliness. 
     The dining is truly worthy of a Michelin star. We had one night of steak florentine and a mixed grill; another night it was delicious veal in cream sauce. There was exquisite Orchiette with walnuts and gorgonzola sauce, and later Mezza-lunae with a mild lamb filling.  Breakfast was copious with many local products.
     The outstanding feature was the tactful host-pair. They are considerate, charming, and excellent conversationalists. This place is an unbelievable value, and we cannot praise it highly enough.

Beautiful View, exceptional food

Located not in Bevagna town but outskirts, not easy to arrive because lack of street direction signs...  is highly advisable to arrive on daytime but in case cannot make it, just have the mobile available to call for more detailed directions or to be picked up like happened to us...

A house completely immerse in the countryside surrounded by olive trees and vineyards.  Is a very small b&b with just two rooms; very but very simple, plain with just the necessary: a bed with clean sheets and towels; a clean bathroom, space to store belongings; a small table with one chair... no tv, no antique or vintage furniture, no fancy decorations, but has a wi-fi line available and deckchairs in the little terrace at the entrance of the rooms.   At night is better to keep the little wooden gate closed since wild boars roam around at nightime...

Breakfast is served on the natural terrace, open air under fig trees with a panoramic view of Bevagna and the Umbrian countryside.  This is a large breakfast: ham and cheese cuts, yogurts, breads, croissants, pastries, cakes, cereals, fruits, marmalades, hazelnut cream, coffee, tea, juices there is no way to leave hungry from here.  Everyday changes; a different type of bread, pastry or cake; different type of ham or cheese, everything personally and tastefully cared and chosen by the landlady ….  an absolute treat for a morning start....

Meal services (lunch or dinner) are available from Wednesdays to Sundays, homemade food.  Is a good place also to enjoy a couple of drinks, good selection of local wines and German beers, sit and relax.  Didn't had the chance, but they do organize movie nights (during the peak summer).

As written before is located in Bevagna area; a great area where to base an Umbrian trip; north: Perugia (50 minutes), Assisi (30 minutes), lake Trasimeno (1:57 hour & minutes); south:  Marmore Falls (1:20 hour & minutes), Terni (1:10), Spoleto (39 min.); east: Norcia (1:20), west: Todi (50 min.), Orvieto (1:32).  Bevagna itself is such a cute village (listed as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy) with Roman era origins.  

The landlady, Annelie is a cheerful and delightful host.  Always available.  Creative.  My little one got a marzipan figure which she prefers to keep it inside a jar like a trophy in her room...   

Downside: this place opens from April to September, that means that the rest of the year is closed.

As titled by Easyridar, this place is a little secret... and when I think back sitting in that terrace well, as some might say, heaven is a place on earth...
