My husband and I have stayed at the LaBadia Hotel 5 times. We would not consider going to Italy without stopping by for a few days. We have enjoyed it every single time. Each room we have had has been different. We take the standard room choice and have never been disappointed. Several of these times, we have traveled with others and felt that the Hotel was our own private castle!! November is not a big travel month so few people are there at that time. But, the breakfast buffet is always fresh and well stocked as though they are expecting many more people. The croissants are devine. The gentleman who runs the breakfast buffet is the same one as the first time we visited, so accommodating. The restaurant is an experience in itself. The restaurant staff this year spoke English very well which we really appreciated, although we missed the older gentleman that ran the place for several years. Thank you, LaBadia staff. We look forward to the next time.

A very nice and charming hotel to relax at after a hectic city trip to Rome. Also very nice to combine with a visit to Orvieto. The hotel is great and I can recommend it to everyone. It is an ideal place for just lounging about at the pool and enjoying nice food and wine.

This hotel is a real treat. It is a beautiful old monastry set in gorgeous grounds and the service will probably not be beaten in Orvieto (or even in central Italy). We upgraded to a deluxe room and it was incredibly spacious. The breakfast was good too.
In my opinion it is a bit pricey for what you get though. The decor in the rooms is a little dated - it does fit in with the style of the hotel however, if that is what you are looking for.
We were a little disappointed that there was not a bath in such a large room. There was no welcome pack and no tea and coffee making facilities in our room. You will need a car to travel to Orvieto as it is around 3km away and would be difficult to walk over the roads to it. La Badia is on the other side of the valley.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay at La Badia and especially enjoyed being able to see the beautiful building (and spot our room) from the Duomo in Orvieto.
Go here for a special occasion and if you value service higher than location.

What a beautiful location! What a breathtaking property....so quiet, so peaceful. Provided us with a break after a hectic week of travel. We had a large room overlooking the center court yard which was very comfortable. The staff was most accommodating, and although pricey, the restaurant superb. Highly recommended....and you won't be disappointed.
