Excellent value for money. If you are walking from the train station, look out for the pedestrian walkway on the left side of the street. If you don't have a data plan, download the directions. Hotel on the left.

leuke locatie en setting, fijn personeel, alles OK
Orvieto shouldn't be missed on a trip to Umbria. It's quite a beautiful town.
I'd like to apologize to the host 'Enzo' for my initial review. I was in a grumpy (tired) mood and he did try his best to accomodate us with his suggestions. I liked his secure parking. Thank you, Vincenzo. Visiting the town was easy to do. We ate at 'Il Mercato'; excellent food and service. The Duomo is unreal. Gorgeous facade.

The stupendous Duomo of Orvieto is on top of the list of...
The stupendous Duomo of Orvieto is on top of the list of places to visit. The cathedral commemorates the Miracle of the Eucharist in Bolsena-droplets of blood that stained the altar linen, made some time in the1260’s. According to the Bradt Guide for Italy, Umbria & The Marche regions, “A Bohemian priest named Peter, was on his way to Rome, was asked to celebrate mass in Bolsena, just to the south. Father Peter had long been skeptical about the doctrine of the Host becoming the body of Christ during the mass, but the Host itself answered his doubts by dripping blood on the altar linen. Peter took the linen to the Pope (Urban IV) and he declared it a miracle and instituted the Feast of Corpus Christi. Pope Urban IV promised Orvieto (rather unfairly to Bolsena) a magnificent new cathedral. “
The exterior façade of this gothic cathedral, has mosaics depicting the life of Christ, the Virgin Mary, etc. with stunning gold backgrounds, that glow in the afternoon sun. The interior has cycles of frescos throughout, painted Fra Angelico, Luca Signorelli, Perugino, Piero della Francesca, to name a few.
The other most remarkable attraction in Orvieto is the Viaggio nella “Città Sotterranea”, the Orvieto Underground tours. We took an fascinating, evening tour given in English by a local guide. Tours can be booked through an office near to the cathedral in Piazza Duomo. As the brochure notes “Orvieto Underground is the best way to become acquainted with this new, unusual aspect of a culture of a city that abounds in history and outstanding art treasures. The tour takes you along a winding subterranean path through tunnels, stairs, unexpected passageways, superimposed rooms, with innumerable small square niches, all of which bear witness to creation over the centuries of this “city underground”.

People who just do a day trip from Rome miss out on exploring the romantic little town and really getting a feeling for the history of it.
3 - 4 days is jsut right if you want to walk around the entire town once and do all the sightseeing and relax at the same time.
You will laugh, but my fridge was outside between my window and shutters, I had breakfast at my window and grabbed pizza as take away in town. I have got a fear to get lost in big cities - so Orvieto is perfect - you just stroll around everywhere and when you want to get hoem you ask : " Duomo ? " and peopl;e point you in the right direction. :)
The well is super interesting, the dome was great, the Etruscan museum and walking around the bottom of the town.

The hostess where i stayed is wonderful.
The hostess where i stayed is wonderful. She gave me restaurant tips. I went to two restaurants and cafes too. They were all good.
Orvieto is wonderful to walk around with beautiful scenery, interesting history and great shops. Top quality beautiful goods. Leather and ceramics and clothing all top quality. A magical experience awaits at one shop with armour outside.
The whole town is a photographers dream and the views of the surrounding countryside are amazing. Especially from the clock tower. Beautiful walks along well kept paths overlooking the countryside.
The Duomo is stunning and there are many galleries, museums and historic places to visit. Easy to walk around. A funicular ride up is special.
The underground tour is so interesting.

Orvieto is a beautiful city.
Orvieto is a beautiful city. It stands out by its friendly services all around. They just welcome visitors more than other cities. Also free wifi the entire city centre. In the winter months, it's magical. I love sitting in Piazza del Popolo during the summer months - it really transported me back into how I come to know of Italy in films. I will go back over and over again for retreats.

Lovely Umbrial hill town. A must see is the Duomo.
Lovely Umbrial hill town. A must see is the Duomo. The highlight is the San Brizio chapel with detailed frescos of the day of judgement and life after death. Also the outside facades divided by four pillars. Beautiful mosaics, sculpture and stained glass start with the creation and end with the last judgement. Highly impressed with this Cathedral.
Chiara e Benedetta is such a hidden gem. The view is just divine - a quintessential Italian view and the room homely. Ros and her staff all extremely friendly and go out of their way to help, making restaurant recommendations and even taking me to the train station when I left. The breakfast is plentiful and delicious and includes home made baked treats.
It was a spur of the moment decision to say here and away from the big cities of Italy for a couple nights and I am so glad I did. I loved exploring Orvieto and will definitely be back.
The hotel is centrally located and it was very easy to walk around Orvieto from it. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The waterfall shower was huge and very pleasant. It was great to have bathrobes and slippers and the two luggage stands were appreciated as we hate having to have a suitcase on the floor. Breakfast was fine but not exceptional and although not coeliac ourselves (our daughter is) it was nice to see a large selection of gluten-free options. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable.
The apartment contains a full kitchen with all the appliances we needed. Daniela stocks the kitchen with jams, tea, coffee, toast, eggs, milk, juice, etc. The rooms are furnished with wonderfully family made furniture and are very comfortable. The entry door is surrounded by star jasmine and is off a quiet laneway, yet the apartment is only 2 minutes walk to the retail and restaurant area and 5-6 minutes walk to the duomo. Great apartment, and we’d book it again if returning to Orvieto or the Umbrian surrounds
If you ever have the chance to stay in this apartment, DO! There is nothing not to love ... imagine overlooking the magnificent Orvieto Duomo from the windows of your spacious, elegant 'home', or waking up to see the surrounding piazza slowly come to life. There's a large comfortable living/dining room with another big table in the kitchen at the back, where we tended to gather (access to the coffee pot making up for a less dramatic view!). The location is also great for easy access to the whole town.
We had a very nice stay in Orvieto in Al quattro nel centro. Marianna is a super kind host!, we felt very welcome and she gave us several very good suggestions for a splendid stay in Orvieto. The apartment was very nice decorated and clean! Is was also very big and well equiped. The terrace where you can sit on is an extra bonus! It’s really value for your money. We recommend highly to stay here when you visit Orvieto which is a very interesting old city!
The best aspect of this stay was Roberta and Valerie — the latter was gracious, kind and patient...she even met me at a parking lot to guide me to the property. Both she and Roberta helped me to carry a heavy load of items to the apartment. Throughout my stay Roberta was consistently in contact per my needs and even helped me out with several errands. Being on my own w/two large dogs, it was the first time I felt like I wasn't alone in Italy. GRAZIE MILLE.
We had a wonderful stay at the Palazzo. The hotel accommodations are first rate, very comfortable. The staff is present, welcoming, and helpful. I needed to be awake at 4:00 a.m. for work issues. The night person made me cappuccino both mornings.
The location of the hotel is great. Two minutes to Piazza della Repubblica and Via del Corso and Via Duomo. We saw everything we wanted to see in Orvieto and also made a day trip to Civita di Bagnoregio.
i think Orvieto is a beautiful village! i loved seeing the ancient church….magnificent! La Magnolia was a great location for us. We did s little shopping( ceramic plates that I love! ), ate a meal at a street cafe, walked around a lot. it was perfect for a short trip outside of Rome. We are celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary and the Italy trip was awesome! TY
The staff and the cooking and the wines were exceptional, so too the view and the spectacular renovation of an old building into a modern design statement. The pool was good. It is about a 10-15 min drive into Orvieto which has the advantage of being quiet and away from the crowds, but means you tend to eat in the hotel, where the food is very good.
An old monastry at a very nice location with great view to Orvieto. Regardless the negative comments I read about it, I still chose this place and happy with this unique experience.
If one day they decide to renovate this property to a 4-5 star hotel, the price will be 4-5 times higher as well 😆
It’s big, and quite impressive.
Clean well equipped and comfortable two bedroom apartment. Short walk to the duomo and in the old part of Orvieto. Perfect if you were two couples as there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Full, well equipped kitchen and a washing machine. Quiet and secure. Host easy to deal with, would happily stay again.
We spent 4 days at Podere Sette Piagge. You can walk to Orvieto historic center in 15 minutes using the steep trail next to the hotel. The pool was a big plus to relax at the end of the day. We also had full meals on two evenings. The food was very good, excellent service and good prices too.
Loved the views and excellent food. All hotel staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. First floor access was easy for the amount of luggage we had. We were close to Orvieto which we just loved for the charm and shops as well as the duomo, underground tour and other history.
Best location in Orvieto, our bedroom window opens to the Piazza del Duomo. Well staffed and appointed boutique hotel includes an indoor cocktail area and outdoor umbrella patio.in the Piazza. Daily room service, great linens. Everyone was friendly and helpful.
Location is fantastic. Orvieto is a beautiful old town and you certainly get a piece of that charm staying here. The host and unit where a highlight of our trip to Italy.
I would recommend this place to anyone.
Location was excellent for visiting Orvieto, maybe a 10 minute drive. Free parking right in.front of hotel. Family run business, everyone was very nice. Dinner in the restaurant was very good.
This hotel is very special. It is run by a lovely family who take pride in what they provide, which is a warm welcome, always helpful and a comfortable place to explore Orvieto.
