Filippeschi - Orvieto

The location of the B&B in the heart of Orvieto is perfect for visiting this hilltop town. We stayed in the suite on the top floor. Beautiful room with two small standing balconies. A wonderful European style buffet breakfast was served on main floor. This medieval home was renovated to be a fabulous B&B with great service. Only minor drawback is parking which is available a short block away,

We had booked hotels in four different cities in Italy and the one we booked in Orvieto was canceled at the last minute. This hotel was our replacement and we were very very happy with it. The view out our window was fabulous. The staff was very helpful and friendly and our room was very clean. We arrived by train and there are only two ways to make it to the hotel from the train station. One is by bus and the other is by taxi. If you have a lot of luggage, I would suggest taxi. The closest bus stop to the hotel leaves you a little bit of a walk and a long uphill driveway. We were very very happy with this hotel!

It was a choice we made to stay one night in Chiusi to avoid taking Tranitalia all the way to Florence to get to San Germinagno via Siena (there is a regional train Chiusi to Siena directly). We did not know what to expect, but arriving by cab from the Chiusi Chianciano station it had a very welcoming appearance: nicely landscaped, well maintained grounds, pretty building, and inviting patio for evening wine. It has become the accommodation, from our 3 wk trip in Italy, that we remember most fondly. Restaurant was truly fine.

Our hosts, Rinaldo and his wife Barbara are delightful. Rinaldo was very attentive to our every need and provided valuable information on resources in Sarteona and other villages and cities in Tuscany. It was like staying with good friends or family members. The hotel is located on top of a hill in a wooded area of the city. The views were spectacular and it was a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. The food and the wine selections in the restaurant were very good. Also, it was very nice to be able to park our car in the hotel parking lot and walk a short distance with our luggage. Our friends who stayed in town had to park in the town parking lot and carry their luggage up steep hills. I would highly recommend the La Torre ai Mari!!
