He offered us a ride up the hill (but we drove--big mistake in the rain & not use to stick shift). Anyways, the room was pretty, nice accents and paintings. We got a balcony with a nice view. The room was clean, comfy, lots of windows and big bathroom. We got lots of towels, slippers and bath supplies. He also put dry chairs out for us since it rained for our breakfast on the patio. His partner brought us cappuccinos to our room. Well worth the stay and the best customer service we've experienced so far. Plus he was nice to our puppy!

Located just outside one of the entry ways into Orvieto with stunning views over the valley, this newer B&B is an incredible value for what you get. We we had a room that would have been perfect for a family but there were only two of us. There was one room with two double beds connected to another room with a huge king bed. Simple decor but elegant at the same time. Nice big bathroom, refrigerator in the room and a really nice balcony off one of the bedrooms. The outside area is where this place really shines! The view from the very large patio with tables and some nice wicker furnishings called to us at the end of a long day exploring. We would open up a bottle of wine and just gaze at the view. A very nice breakfast including eggs, cake, sereal, cake, fruit, cake, juice, cake and coffee and an assortment of teas. And did I mention cake? Seriously, they had about 6 different cakes/pies/pastries each morning! The proprietors live here as well and they aim to please. We didn't want to leave this place and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We could not find the hotel with googles maps freezing up. I finally called the hotel and her Father (who doesn't speak English) got her on the phone for me and coached me through the entire drive from the other side of town to the door of the hotel. She was pleasant, personable and friendly. The breakfast in the morning is amazing. Very nice selection including hard boiled eggs, sliced prosciutto and salami, assorted cheeses, fruits, biscuits and selections of breads, croissants, cakes and pastries. The coffee was hot and tasty. We sat and talked to her for a bit after we came back from Sunday morning mass at the duomo. Highly recommended!!!

Convenient, (very) Clean, and Comfortable. We would definitely stay here again…read more My spouse and I stayed in the Alva room for 2 nights. It is on the second-floor, so we only had to walk up one stairway. The room had air-conditioning, which we only used when in the room during the day. At night we opened the window partially, enough to let air in. (The window is screened.) It was nice to awake to the pleasant sounds of the surrounding Orvieto families as they prepared for their day. Very clean room. Espresso maker and coffee provided, along with some snacks and juice. Valentina provides her guests with a "tourist card", which provided us discounts at the sights around town. It also provides discounts at some restaurants and services. A great benefit. Valentina also kindly made us reservations at the two restaurants we had selected.

It's like being a local as other apartments in the buildings are owned by locals. We had a quiet apartment on a small side street. It would have been challenging to find if Valentina's staff had not kindly taken our bags and led us to the apartment. Our apartment had a kitchen, dining table and rustic wooden ceiling beams. I'm guessing the wooden beams are centuries older than the US. The bed was one of the most comfortable we experienced during our trip. Food markets and restaurants were within easy walking distance. I highly recommend selecting one of Valentina's apartments that meets your desires! Each apartment is different and in a separate Orvieto location.

The value is appropriate for the given design, standard of appointment, and provides an impeccable experience. Be aware that if stairs are an issue, you may need to seek another room, as those previously mentioned rooms do have stairs within the room that lead you to the bedroom. These rooms are full of open-air windows, strategically facing viewing points that are remarkable within the Orvieto region. Giovanni and his staff provide impeccable service. Their friendliness, stewardship of the profession, and class could only be rivaled by the most highly regarded establishments. The main halls/shared living room/dining room dates back to the periods when the Popes staff was stationed in Orvieto. The amount of work that went into this, required 4 years of attention but was completely worth the effort. This area created an incredible fine dining experience that is unparalleled in the area. We were fortunate to have our dining experience to ourselves, a party of 4. Special treatment cannot accurately describe this experience. We chose the 4 courses and 4 wine pairing menu, which is accurately priced. Simply put each course was a trip into the culinary culture. Asparagus frittata, risotto with freshly grated truffle, Vitello (veal) belly, and ricotta and pureed​ fig for dolce, barely describes the intricacy of this meal. The wine pairings were poignant, from the region, and equally from Palazzone. Book a night to catch the full story, regarding the renovation, history and embark on a culinary trip fit to achieve Michelin stars.

The Palazzone was restored to its medieval glory , supposed to have been an inn for pilgrims walking to Rome around the year1300.

The views are spectacular, the pool is the most peaceful and soothing spot one can dream of for an Italian trip.
