Orvieto & Umbria

What is within an hour

The estate sits ten minutes from Orvieto and under two hours from Rome — close enough for a morning in town and back for lunch by the pool.

Day trips

Three places worth the drive

10 min

The striped facade of Orvieto's Duomo above the town's rooftops

Orvieto

The Duomo, the underground city carved into the volcanic rock, and an aperitivo on Piazza del Popolo as the light goes.

30 min

Civita di Bagnoregio on its pinnacle, reached by a footbridge

Civita di Bagnoregio

The dying city on its pinnacle, reached on foot across a single footbridge — best walked at first light before the coaches arrive.

35 min

Lago di Bolsena

Swimming in a volcanic crater lake, and lunch on the water at Capodimonte.

Curated experiences

Arranged for you, not for everyone

Learn the art of Italian cooking from a local expert, host a private pizzaiolo night at the estate’s own oven, savour a customised dinner prepared by a personal chef, or arrange a wine tour to Orvieto Classico country and the towns beyond it. As an Orvieto native, your point of contact can also book restaurants, arrange transport, and act as your local connection for the length of the stay.

Further afield

Worth the longer day

Civita di Bagnoregio, Arezzo, Siena and Montepulciano are all reachable as a longer day out, and Rome and Florence both sit on the same rail line as Orvieto’s own station — a genuine advantage for a stay that wants a city day without a city hotel.

Perugia’s airport is roughly an hour from the estate; Rome Fiumicino is closer to two. Either way, the drive up from the valley ends the same way — through the gate, past the olive trees, to the pool with Orvieto on the ridge behind it.
