Perched on a plateau of tufa rock, with the outline of its world famous Duomo visible for miles around, the city of Orvieto has adapted to the needs of the modern day tourist by transforming itself into a car-free haven.
At the heart of Orvieto is undoubtedly Piazza del Duomo, onto which look the town’s most important public buildings and the façade of the Duomo, a masterpiece of gothic architecture with its polychrome marble inlays and dazzling mosaics. A number of Etruscan remains testify to the importance of the city even before Roman rule.
The exceptional views commanded by the city, as well as the beautiful skyline of Orvieto itself,can be fully appreciated by looking out from terraced swimming pool of the villa. For jazz lovers Orvieto hosts the winter edition of Umbria Jazz for details please ask us.
