Worth getting out of bed for

There are horse riding, golf and tennis opportunities within an hour of the hotel, and wonderful walking through the chestnut woods behind the property. Sailing fans can hit Lake Bolsena, around 30 minutes from Locanda Palazzone. Explore Signorelli’s famous frescoes in Orvieto’s cathedral.

From the Guestbook…
It's lovely here. The building is wonderfully restored and the owners are very helpful. The food is wonderful. Would be great in summer with the big pool.
