Property Information |
|
The Duomo of Orvieto is one of the great masterpieces of Gothic architecture but then so is Orvieto itself. Virtually unchanged from the Middle Ages, Orvieto's history is far older. From this volcanic peak, Etruscan armies, prior to the glory of Rome, vied for supremacy against the equally mysterious Umbri. Today, each winding lane leads to quaint shops and restaurants, some of which lead down into a labyrinth of ancient caverns that honeycomb the city.
Now picture living in the center of such an incredible place. From the living room balcony, the entire length of the Duomo fills your view. Sip some Orvieto wine and listen to the bells as the sun slowly sets behind this majestic structure. At dawn, the sun will rise from the bedroom balconies, revealing distant hills, green valleys and the red tiled rooftops beneath your feet. You can never tire of this place.
With a charming, cozy décor silhouetted in warm pastels, the interiors of this gem are equally pleasing and fully air conditioned. Maid service may be requested when booking. Casa al Duomo is 40 steps up from the street. The English-speaking owners live on the ground floor and sell handcrafted papyrus from their shops in town.
Limited on street parking lies within 30 yards. A paid lot is 150 yards away. For those without a car, the cable car at Piazza Cahen, 600 yards away, whisks you down to trains on the Rome to Florence line. Either city may be reached by rail within 90 minutes.
By car, the A1 is 15 minutes away; Lake Bolsena: 20; Todi: 30; Montepulciano or Deruta: 45; Spoleto or Perugia: 60; Siena, Assisi or Rome: 90. Come the first week of September for the Street Theater Festival or between Christmas and New Year's for Umbrian Jazz. If you can't come at all, then dream. We can all do that. |
