We booked this hotel at the last minute so at the time, we were more interested in availability and a good rate. We stayed in the older section of the hotel and the room was adequate though a little dark and dreary--perhaps a room in the newer section (for additional cost) would be a better option. We love Orvieto and... more

This hotel was a fantastic value option in Orvieto - especially for drivers. We stayed in the new section. We had a large room by European standards. Ammenities were typical for a mid-range European hotel. The room opened out onto a wonderful veranda with a table and flowers in bloom. Breakfast was wonderful with home-cooked pastries. Orvieto is a scenic... more

I booked this hotel for one night primarily because of the reviews and the fact that it was somewhat close to the train station (up a somewhat steep hill) and thus convenient for our early morning train to Rome. We were put in the annex in a room that had no character whatsoever. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom... more

My wife and I spent one night here so we could tour the old city of Orvieto. We stayed in the new section, a new building directly across the street from the main hotel. The hotel is located just two blocks from the train station and is also very conveniently located if arriving by car. It is right in the... more

It was a bit uphill to the hotel, but not too far to drag your bags. We decided to stay near the station as we were not sure about how easy to travel to the top. It would have been very easy. The Funicular station is just opposite the railway station. If you were catching an early train on departure,... more

we stayed there for 1 night. We were really satisfied with the only exception that it was rather noisy. The noise isolation between rooms is rather poor and we had neighbours who talked half of the night. Parking in the garage is just across the street and the funicular to the historic center is only 3 minutes away. Breakfast was... more

We chose Hotel Picchio for 2 main reasons: easy, on-site parking and walkable distance to the funicular up into the city center. It satisfied both these requirements well--the parking garage was very convenient (not the tight little spots you often find in Europe) and fully secured. It was about a 5 minute walk to the funicular and bus ride into... more

Ovieto has a historic district on top of a plateau, and a newer section down below. Everythig costs more up on top. This hotel is down below, within 200 meters of the train station and the funiculare that takes you up and down the plateau. For $60 euros per night, this was definitely the best bargain of our whole trip... more
