Luxury holidays in Orvieto
You can’t miss Orvieto – this honey-hued hilltop town perches above undulating Umbrian countryside, halfway between Rome and Florence. Lose yourself in the labyrinth of cobbled lanes, caramel-coloured Teatro Mancinelli or tucked-away trattorie. Though, the brightest jewel in Orvieto’s cultural crown is the 14th-century cathedral, where a glittering Gothic façade, adorned with bas-reliefs and multicoloured mosaics, opens up to grand striped stone interiors.
When to go
Orvieto is charming throughout the seasons, but we like spring or autumn for crowd-free castles and cathedrals.
