STAYING IN ORVIETO
Rooms at Locanda Orvieto, above the restaurant · 2 km from the Duomo
The Umbrian countryside.
The historic center just a step away.
Our kitchen under the same roof.
Locanda Orvieto is a farmhouse with rooms and a traditional restaurant at the foot of the Cliff — just 5 minutes from the Duomo, the St. Patrick's Well, and the A1 motorway exit.
A family-run guesthouse for those looking for an alternative to classic hotels: free parking, no restricted traffic zones (ZTL), no paid parking lines. In the evening, head downstairs and dine on Piccione all'Orvietana or homemade Umbrichelli. In the morning, wake up in the Umbrian countryside.

WHY STAY HERE, NOT THERE
You can sleep anywhere in Umbria. You can live it only here.
A hotel gives you a bed. A farmhouse with kitchen, family, and countryside gives you a story to take home. When you stay at Locanda Orvieto, the experience doesn't end at check-in — it begins.
Sleep where Umbria lives
Not a hotel in transit. A real farmhouse — countryside outside, kitchen downstairs, Orvieto 5 minutes away.
See the rooms →Dinner under the same roof
No driving back into town for a restaurant. Come downstairs, take a table — Umbrian cuisine is already waiting.

Discover the dishes →Wake up in the countryside
Open the window: olive trees, Umbrian light, easy free parking right outside your door. Then 2 km to Orvieto Cathedral, a 5-minute drive. No ZTL, no parking meters.

HOSPITALITY, OUR WAY
What hosting means to us
A warm smile, a sincere word, and everything you really need. Nothing more, nothing less.
Making you feel at home from the moment you arrive is our goal. We aren't a luxury hotel and we don't want to be: we are a family farmhouse 5 minutes from the Orvieto Cathedral, where every service is designed to be truly useful, not to fill a brochure.
Here is what you'll find at the Locanda.
On-site traditional restaurant
In the evening, dinner will never be a problem. Authentic Umbrian cuisine, family recipes, local ingredients. From Orvieto-style Pigeon to homemade Umbrichelli.
Free parking
Arrive, park, forget the car. No restricted traffic zones, no parking meters, no rush to find a spot. One of the concrete advantages compared to staying in the historic center.
Free Wi-Fi everywhere
Fast connection in all rooms and common areas. You never pay anything extra. Work, make video calls, watch Netflix on your laptop: the network holds up.
2 km from Orvieto Cathedral (a 5-minute drive)
The Duomo is a treat, not an odyssey. You're in the Umbrian countryside, but you can reach Orvieto's monuments in 5 minutes by car. A1 motorway exit and train station are just a stone's throw away.
Air conditioning included
It gets hot in the summer, we know. Independent climate control in all rooms, at no extra charge. In winter, the heating is on, no need for extra blankets.
Breakfast? We let you choose
Let's be honest: we don't offer breakfast. Our strength is our lunch and dinner kitchen, not a morning buffet. We don't charge you for it: this allows us to keep our prices fair.
FAMILY RECIPES
Handed-down recipes, local raw materials
Nothing exotic, nothing fusion. Just real Umbrian cooking, the way it's been done here for generations: Orvieto-style Pigeon, grilled lamb, hand-rolled pasta.
When you stay at the Locanda, dinner is ready under the same roof.
OUR PROMISE
There's always someone here who knows you. We aren't a chain, we're a family. If you need advice on Orvieto, restaurants, wineries, or Umbrian trails — just ask.

You've already seen the rooms above. Here we'll answer what the cards don't say — the practical things people ask us before booking.
How much do the rooms cost?
Rooms start from €65 for a double for single use, €75 for a double, and €95 for a triple. Air conditioning is included in the price — there are no extra costs for climate control. If you're thinking of staying for several consecutive nights, you'll find our dedicated promotions on the site: it's better to book directly here.
Is breakfast included?
No, breakfast is not included. We are a farmhouse with a traditional restaurant — our strength is our lunch and dinner kitchen, not a morning buffet. For breakfast, we recommend the nearby cafés, just a few minutes' walk from the property.
What time are check-in and check-out?
Check-in from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM, check-out by 11:00 AM. These times are fixed — we ask you to respect them so we can prepare the rooms perfectly for every guest.
Can I bring pets into the room?
No, pets are not allowed in the rooms. If you are traveling with a pet, we recommend looking for pet-friendly accommodations in the area before booking.
Is there an elevator?
No. All rooms are located on the first floor and can only be reached by stairs. If you have mobility issues or heavy luggage, please keep this in mind — call us and we'll figure out the best solution together.
How far is the Locanda from the historic center of Orvieto?
About 5 minutes by car from the Duomo and St. Patrick's Well. We are at Strada della Stazione 23 — convenient from both the A1 motorway exit and the train station. We aren't in the historic center, and that's not a downside: you have the Umbrian countryside outside your window and the center within easy reach.
Is there parking?
Yes, free parking directly at the property. No restricted traffic zones, no parking meters, no rush to find a spot — one of the concrete advantages compared to staying in the historic center.
Can I dine at the Locanda's restaurant if I'm staying in the rooms?
Of course — and it's one of the reasons many choose to stay here. The restaurant is open to room guests just like everyone else. Piccione all'Orvietana, grilled lamb, homemade pasta. We recommend booking your table along with your room: seating is limited.
What types of rooms are there?
Four rooms, each dedicated to an Orvieto monument: St. Patrick's Well, Torre del Moro, Orvieto Cathedral and Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo. Doubles, twins, and one triple. All on the first floor, with private bathroom, flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, and air conditioning included in the price.
