About Bevagna

Bevagna is historically important, and beautiful with it, a town with ancient Roman origins and a picturesque, medieval square. ‘Unchanging’ is a word commonly used lovingly within Bevagna’s vicinity, and its clusters of elegant historic buildings makes it somewhat difficult to develop, so the best places to stay in Bevagna tend to be converted villas and palazzos — some turned into very grand hotels indeed, others into simpler B&Bs. Outside Bevagna’s picturesque medieval walls the accommodation choices expand to include agriturismos, converted farmhouses, and graceful country villas.

With its carefully preserved Roman ruins — including a First Century Roman theatre that seated ten thousand — plus a number of churches, historic art galleries and museums, our Gurus regularly recommend the best places to stay in Bevagna to travellers looking for an historic Umbrian centre. The town is also a known for its wicker and wrought iron. If you’re looking to take a few morsels home,check out the Mercato della Gaite, or district markets.

Bevagna’s position, in the foothills below Montefalco, close to Spello and the Vale of Spoleto, means it’s surrounded by fertile plains, and the produce is memorable. As is the wine. So we think that the best places to stay in Bevagna are ideal for foodies too. And for walkers and cyclists hoping to explore the region at their own pace!

Intimate, affordable and relaxed.
