If you can, please, give to me your mobile phone number (that used in Italy), and tell to me the arrival time (in any case after 12 pm), and if you arrive by car or train; if you drive, please don't enter the historical center of Orvieto by car without me, because, if you wrong direction (Piazza Cahen instead of Porta Romana), you can risk to pay 80 Euro: we will meet at the small roundabout 200 meters before Porta Romana (Roman Door), one of the two entrances of Orvieto (don't worry, we are in Italy and all is very small and easy to find and you can stop the car where you want!), at the time you will communicate by mail and / or at my mobile phone. If you can, it's better you also phone 15 minutes before arrival. If you use the Satellit to reach me, follow "Strada di Porta Romana", at the end of "Strada delle Conce" and the blue and white 'P' sign (PARCHEGGIO CAMPO DELLA FIERA).
Guests can enjoy their intimacy in a quiet and romantic setting. My house is waiting for you!

Why the Owner Chose Orvieto
I've always lived here, I was born in Orvieto and I love my city because it seems to live in an ancient time, when people still met together on the streets and had a good time with poor and simple things, when the human relationships were still important. I love Orvieto because it's far from the noise of the biggest cities and from the smog. Air is still pure and it's a healthy place to live. I love Orvieto because you can see all around the old town on the cliff a lot of green threes. But if one day you prefer trying a different kind of life you can reach very fast - Rome, Florence, Perugia, Terni, Viterbo, Bolsena and Bolsena Lake, Gubbio and Assisi. It's really true: Umbria Region is the "Green Heart of Italy".
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
In particular, my house has got some unique benefits. For example parking in Orvieto is very difficult and it's very rare to find a free covered parking so near to an accommodation, mainly if the structure is so central, in the real center of the old town, on the top of the ancient cliff. But, at the same time, it's very simple to walk and visit the most important sites that Orvieto can offer, because you already are surrounded by those Medieval sites, and near to Medieval quartier. Finally, the location is very quiet and now even more thanks to soundproofed big windows with doubles glasses.

What a Host!

We stayed several nights at B&B Garibaldi this summer. We usually stay in private apartments when traveling in Europe, but we have never had such a concerned, caring and accommodating host as David. We took a bus to another town and belatedly discovered the next day that because of a local holiday there were no buses running for our return and we were stranded. David drove over and got us!! He took us to and from the train station, gave us good restaurant recommendations, and made our stay in Orvieto such a pleasant one. Thank you, David.

My husband and I arrived on the train from Rome and were warmly greeted by David at the train station. This was our first experience ever in riding a train in Europe and renting an apartment instead of a hotel (my husband's first trip to Europe ever at age 63). I had numerous email conversations with David over the past five months during the planning stages of our Italian trip. There are many amazing things about David, but one that was shocking was how thorough he is with helpful information. He always goes beyond what is expected in answering emails or making sure the guests have a wonderful experience at his B&B as well as Orvieto. He is also very fast in all correspondance. We stayed in the Yellow Room with the kitchen and washer. We enjoyed having a refrigerator and kitchen sink, and used them often. B&B Garibaldi is a perfect choice for anyone visiting Orvieto, and the location is ideal! David provided us with a map and his favorite local restaurants and coffee bars, all delicious. When I could not get Internet service for my iPad, he was in the room and made sure it was working within a few minutes. A perfect host and human being. Thank you for everything, David! You made our stay incredible!

Our stay in this typical Italian home was great. Our host, David, met us on the outskirts of the walled city to ensure we had parked safely and assisted us in getting settled. It was great to have the map of the town and a list of recommended eateries to begin our exploration of Orvietto> After travelling for 3 months in Europe, we realized that David is one of the most gracious hosts who goes out of his way to ensure that you have a comfortable stay and enjoyable visit. The accommodations are well provided and centrally located for easy access to all that Orvietto offers. We will be returning for a longer stay. Exceptionally clean and spacious.. We would highly recommend it.

This apartment is very clean and well kept. David goes out of his way to be helpful and very accommodating for his guests. He personally greeted us at the train station and took us to the apartment - very much appreciated. He also took us back to the train station upon our departure. The apartment is located within very short walks of all the attractions. The photos accurately reflect the apartment. The people of Orvieto are very friendly. Our family highly recommends this property for rental. David speaks English very well.

Wonderful stay as David's guests

Review Submitted: 05/05/10
Our first visit to Orvieto was wonderful. David was an extremely friendly, professional and conscientious host of our family during our recent stay at this rental apartment. We were late in arriving and he actually waited in his car at the Orvieto traffic circle for over 2 hours to make sure we arrived and got checked-in properly. The rooms are large, light, airy and clean. It suited our family of five very well. Common in Italian historic-center rentals, there was no living room per se, but the dining room sufficed. It's in a great location in a charming neighborhood--only a few minutes from the main square and a couple of blocks from the escalators to Orvieto's modern parking lot down the hill. The complimentary parking space was very valuable, since we toured some of the neighboring hill towns from our Orvieto base. It was so nice to jump in the car and be driving down a beautiful country road in less than 10 minutes.. David recommended several excellent restaurants that were authentic and not touristy. The food was delicious and some even provided a discount because they know David. Overall, I highly recommend this charming and historic apartment. The best attribute is David's high level of service and sincere attention to our needs.

The place really surpassed our expectations.We had a lovely stay. David, the proprietor, was incredibly helpful - I believe that nothing would have been too much trouble for him - he made our stay extra special. The accommodation was traditional. It was clean and well- located. The bathroom is large and has a bath (...).?

This was a real find. Not having booked anything before we arrived, we stumbled across it as we were driving into Orvieto. After calling David, he came immediately to meet us and took us to the car park which is very nearby and included in the price. He was incredibly helpful and friendly, a great host! The location of Garibaldi accommodation is excellent, right in centre of Orvieto, just a short walk from all the tourist attractions. The accommodation was spacious and we had a kitchen to ourselves. In the morning, David invited us into his own living room to eat breakfast, which he had bought that morning (...).

We had a terrific stay at Garibaldi accommodation during our 10th wedding anniversary trip. It is ideally situated within this medieval hill towns ancient walls, with short walks to the ramparts, cathedral, good restaurants, shopping, etc. David couldn't have been more helpful, meeting us at the train station, carrying our bags, and providing tips on sights and eats. The ambiance of the room is good, (...) with plenty of room (essentially an apartment) and a nice flat screen TV. Breakfast was typical Italian -- coffee and an assortment of bread, biscuits, pastries. We rented our car in Orvieto and took a great day trip to Civita di Bagnoregio. David fixed us up with free parking. I might also suggest booking directly with David; I got the idea we took a bit of a hit by booking through Venere.com.

Stumbled across Garibaldi accommodation on arriving in Orvieto and surprised David by arriving unannounced. However he was instantly accommodating, helped us find a car park for our rental car, gave us a great restaurant recommendation, and provided a lovely breakfast. He also speaks excellent English! The apartment was massive for the two of us with big bathroom, big bedroom and dining area. It was also well located within the old town. We had a great stay.
