What people say

Federica Rustico
"Orvieto, perched on a tuff cliff in the heart of Umbria, is a splendid destination for a day trip from Rome, only an hour and a half away by train. This medieval town is renowned for its striking Duomo, a Gothic architectural marvel with a dazzling facade of mosaics and sculptures. Equally impressive is the St. Patrick’s Well (Pozzo di San Patrizio), an architectural marvel with a double helix staircase, designed for water supply during sieges. Orvieto’s Etruscan roots are also on display in its extensive network of underground tunnels and caves. While here, indulge in the local culinary scene, particularly the famous Orvieto Classico wine. Orvieto offers a captivating mix of history, art, and gastronomy, making it a must-visit on any Roman day-trip itinerary. For lunch, reserve at Trattoria La Palomba."

"While it may not be as well known as some other cities in Italy, the charming hilltop town of Orvieto is well worth a stop. Its crown jewel is its frescoed Gothic Cathedral, but you can also explore its famous well and its Etruscan underground or simply catch the beautiful views from atop the volcanic tuff. "
"Orvieto is a perfect day trip from Rome. Located about an hour away from Rome, enjoy the charming and breathtaking town. Take the funicular up to the center of Orvieto, explore the Pozzo della Cava, the Pozzo di San Patrizio, and admire the views from the Communal Gardens of Orvieto."
