Duomo Luxury Apartment Orvieto

You step straight out into Orvieto’s main square, right at the city’s heart. The apartment works really well for a family or friends, including the families of a bride and groom staying in the historic centre for a wedding. The rooms are welcoming and well kept, with a kitchen that has all the comforts. Reception and services are excellent, and they can arrange activities like wine tasting, an underground city tour, or visits to shops selling ceramics, wood, wine, olive oil, truffles and more. The highway and railway are close by. Bolsena Lake is a few kilometres away for a relaxing walk, and Civita di Bagnoregio, the striking town perched on tuff, is also not far from Orvieto. A great place to stay.

With one ticket, you can get a look at several sides of Orvieto in a short time, from its museums and necropolis to the underground city. The descent into St. Patrick's Well feels like going down into the earth, step by step, and reaching the top again brings a welcome sense of lightness after the effort. There’s also the view of the whole city from the tower and the majestic Gothic cathedral with its distinctive frescoes. Orvieto is a beautiful mix of history and modern life.

We’ll be back. The apartment is spacious, with two double bedrooms, one single bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room, so it suits a big family or a small group of friends. It’s in Piazza Duomo in Orvieto, and the famous Duomo façade is right outside the windows. The recent renovation kept the historic architectural features and blended them with contemporary design and artistic touches by a famous local artist. I liked the practical details, too: a fully equipped kitchen with a juicer, coffee maker and microwave, plus spacious rooms with luggage racks and clever hangers instead of bulky, useless closets. The furnishings are beautiful, and the place is truly lovely. It’s owned by the same owner as the adjacent hotel. Highly recommended.

The cathedral view from the windows would be reason enough for five stars, and the apartment is beautiful too. It’s spacious, tastefully furnished and has everything you need: two double bedrooms, a single room, I think a sofa bed as well, and two bathrooms. Just lovely!
