This delightful apartment is located in a pretty cobbled street right in the heart of the pedestrian historical centre of Orvieto, close to the magnificent 14th century Gothic Cathedral.

From the quaint terrace you can sip a chilled glass of one of the wonderful Orvieto wines whilst watching the sun go down across the rooftops. Simple terrace furniture means you can dine " Al fresco " and sample some of the locally produced hand made fresh pasta drizzled in rich, deep green peppery Olive Oil.
The apartment is well suited for a relaxing holiday at any time of the year as all of the sights and facilities of this wonderful small city are reachable on foot.

                        My husband and I were very happy with this lovely apartment in the beautiful and historic hill town of Orvieto. The property is well-located, within easy walking distance of restaurants, town sights, and transportation, yet with a very quiet location. The apartment was spotless, nicely appointed, and had the special advantage of a friendly and very helpful owner, Fabrizio, and his charming assistant, Mandy. He picked us up at the funicular station, and gave us a great orientation to the apartment and answered all our questions about local restaurants and sights. Fabrizio made us feel right at home, and we would be happy to return in the future.

                        Recommended for: Tourists without a car, sightseeing.

                        Owner response: We are so pleased that you found the apartment so conveniently located and we are delighted to assist with our local area knowledge so guests can enjoy all Orvieto has to offer .... We would love to welcome you again in the future

                        My sister and i stayed in the apartment. It was wonderful! Close to the city center and although the parking was a little far away, we were able to park nearby to unload the car. The owner was terrific in helping us and recommending places to eat. The only difficult part was the stairs, which we had no trouble with, but it would be good to include that in the description, so that if you had an older guest they would realize that it is up several sets of stairs. The unit was very clean and well set up, plenty of kitchen ware and an espresso machine. I would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone.

                        Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

                        Our stay in Orvieto was just wonderful, Fabrizio and Mandy were helpful from the start. We had never used VRBO in Italy and Mandy was patient and understanding with any problems we had with the logistics. The apartment was absolutely the best! The place looks recently remodeled and has all the amenities needed for a longer stay. We stayed in 4 apartments in 4 different cities in Italy and this was by far the best. The location in the medium hill town, Orvieto, was ideal for exploring the county side and Orvieto was a great little town in itself. We would love to stay for a month. You must try Gelateria Pasqualetti, gelato to die for. The Orvieto Underground is quite unique and worth a visit.

                        Great little apartment in the heart of Orvieto. Easy access to the train station or bus station to be used as a home base for travel to Rome or Firenze, or anywhere in between. If you are travelling by car the possibilities are endless.
