  We rented the apartment for 12 nights. It was our cozy "home away from home" in Orvieto. The facility was exactly as advertised, including the view! Sabrina was an outstanding hostess and we feel as though we've made a new friend in Orvieto. We were totally happy with our experience at Ripa Medici. As another reviewer has stated, if I were able to award more than 5 stars, I would do do.

  We have rentals on VRBO and know the value of accurately describing what is offered and providing excellent customer service. B&B Ripa Medici and Sabrina, the owner, do just that. Sabrina met us in the plaza and escorted us to the B&B, then accompanied my husband to the garage parking. Our room was sparkling clean and very well appointed. The view from our window was breathtaking! The location is so convenient, very easy walking distance to the Duomo, central plazas, and shops. Orvieto is a charming hill town not to be missed. But what really makes this B&B special is Sabrina. In addition to the delicious breakfast she provides and the much needed morning cappuccino's, Sabrina is a charming host and so helpful with suggestions of where to go and what to do. We highly recommend a stay at B&B Ripa Medici. You will love it.

  I would give Ripa Medici more than 5 stars if VRBO would allow me! We stayed here for 8 days before off to Rome, and we all preferred Orvieto and its laidback lifestyle. But we were never bored, and I had 2 teenagers! Never. Just melded into Orvieto's lifestyle, getting to know many of the very friendly faces each store and restaurant seemed to have. Sabrina? Well, what can I say. She had a perpetual smile on every time we saw her, either on the little back alley or in town, and seemed to always laugh, even at my bad jokes. The apartment had everything and more. Very clean, which is very important when renting. We prepared our own meals in the kitchen every day, which had everything we needed, and more, including a nice gas stove. Very comfortable beds, good air-conditioning, important considered we were there in late June. As you can tell, I'm a big fan, not just of Orvieto, but of Ripa Medici, too. I travel through out Italy yearly and this was my first visit to Orvieto. My new favorite, and we will be back. Thanks Sabrina. :)

  We stayed at Ripa Medici for 6 nights in April over Easter weeekend. The apartment was very comfortable, with beautiful views and a close walk to the Duomo, the Corso. Sabrina was very helpful and attentive. The apartment is perfect for a family of four or two couples.

  Wanting a few days in Umbria, we selected Orvieto because of the Ripa Medici apartment. The stunning views, the immaculate apartment and Sabrina's hospitality exceeded our expectations. Orvieto is delightful, the town itself being relatively flat and easy walking. The "cliff trail" around the town, about halfway down the hill, is a little more challenging but exhilirating, Many good restaurants, our favorite by far is Zeppelin. The weather was nice enough that we also spent nice times just sitting on the wall outside the apartment. We rented a car in Orvieto Scala (the town below) for enjoyable drives to Assisi, Montepulciano, and --not to miss--Civita in Bagnoregio! Other interesting towns and wineries abound, but we kept coming back to our Ripa Medici apartment just to enjoy the setting and view.

  We are a family of five from Canada. We visited Italy in August 2011 for three weeks, staying in four different rental properties. We have to say, B&B Ripa Medici ranks one of the highest. The property is beautifully and tastefully furnished, absolutely spotless, well appointed, and walking distance to the center of town. It is very rare that one would find a view as stunning and breath-taking as the one offerred through these windows. Thank you to Sabrina and Federico for going out of your way to make our stay in Orvieto welcoming, comfortable, relaxing, and memorable. We hope to return to B&B Ripa Medici sometime in the future.

  I stayed in this apartment 9 nights, with friends visiting. Sabrina is a lovely hostess and readily available. The views and location are stunning and most of the amenities that you might need are there. The parking arrangement is also very handy and convenient. The kitchen is smaller and a different setting (internal) than in the picture and probably not where you would want to cook for 4-6 people, but is fine in every other way and of course we ate out most of the time or brought in local produce to eat without cooking. Orvieto is a beautiful town and the people were very friendly and welcoming. Everything is within walking distance. I did not go anywhere else in Italy, but stayed and just relaxed, taking in the sights and sounds, the architecture, people watching, shopping, enjoying the markets, wines, food and fun bars! (and very cute bar-men). Perfect! The walk around the walls of the town is also very pleasant and a chance to enjoy the surrounding greenery. Would love to go again.

  Charming hostess Sabrina helped us with everything- from car park arrangements to restaurant suggestions and train schedules. She was cheerful and available. The four of us were very comfortable with two large bedrooms and two full baths. Orvieto was not crowded, the weather was perfect, and the location of the apartment was within easy walking distance to everything. We spent relaxing time sightseeing in town and thoroughly enjoyed buying delicious fresh vegetables and wine in the local shops, cooking pasta dishes in the kitchen, and dining at home overlooking the gorgeous green hills. If you have a car, we recommend the scenic route to Todi and Assisi through the gorgeous Umbrian countryside. Everything was perfect.

  My family spent a wonderful night is this beautiful apartment. The view is spectacular and Sabrina went out of her way to make sure we were well taken care of. Orvieto remains one of my favorite areas in Italy and I would highly recommend this property to anyone wishing to stay in the area. Thanks Sabrina!!

  At the last minute, my husband and I decided to visit Orvieto via the train on our way to Florence from Rome. We had contacted Sabrina the day before and we were thrilled to learn a bedroom was available. In fact we had the whole place to ourselves. As others have mentioned, the views from the windows are amazing and the bedroom and common areas are quite comfortable and lovely. Sabrina has done a beautiful job of decorating the space with great attention to detail. She is a very engaged owner who is quite charming, vivacious and very helpful. She prepared an amazing breakfast for us and we loved talking and laughing over coffee. The night before, Sabrina recommended a couple of places to eat dinner and we ended up trying the new Etruscan restaurant at the corner. It had just opened but the young owner chef husband and wife were charming and eager to please and it was very authentic food with beautiful ingredients. We were delighted that despite the rain we were able to explore Orvieto with hardly a tourist in sight. Unfortunately we only had time to visit Orvieto for 1 night but we would definitely return to stay again at Sabrina's charming bed and breakfast. Stephanie + Brad
