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. Both bedrooms are 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 in town shops.
Limited on street parking lies within 30 yards. A paid lot is 200 yards
away. For those without a car, a bus stops 150 yards away and leads to
the cable cars at Piazza Cahen where you are whisked 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.
