Also travelling by car can still be an adventure, especially in Italy!

Certainly in the lesser known regions of Italy there are still many wonderful places to discover. Here will you be met by warm hospital people and can you taste honest cuisine, based on local produce and traditions. Here you still travel along often empty roads, you can make the most wonderful walks through unspoilt nature and enjoy your cup of coffee, capuccino or a glass of robust red wine on a peaceful, perfectly preserved medieval village square, undisturbed by the masses.

Genius Loci Travel offers a wide choice of what we call ‘Drive & Hike’ (Walk & Discover) tours;  all over Italy, but with emphasis on Central and Southern Italy. Adventure at your own pace !

These tours are only examples of what we can offer. Many variations are possible – shorter or longer tours, and accomodations ranging from simple farmhouses to luxury ‘boutique’ hotels.
