Orvieto origins go back to the Etruscan civilization: the first Etruscan settlements, going back to the 9th Century BC, in fact, were found inside the Tufaceous caves in the bedrock upon which today rises the city.
Annexed in the 3rd Century BC to the territories of Rome, it remained under the Roman domination until the decline of the Western Roman Empire. Today it remains a fascinating town to visit. And it is the perfect location from which to explore the beautiful countryside and towns and villages of Umbria and neighbouring Tuscany. Less than 90 minutes from either Florence or Rome on the motorway. Orvieto is the 'Perfect Italian Holiday' location.
