Orvieto, a city with ancient Etruscan roots, rises on a tuff cliff with sheer walls, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. It is the perfect place for a holiday of peace and beauty in the green Umbrian hills. Its privileged geographical location allows you to easily reach the wonders of great art cities such as Rome, Florence, Siena, Perugia, and small gems such as Città della Pieve, Chiusi, Montepulciano, Assisi, and Bolsena. Orvieto's food and wine tradition reflects the typical characteristics of Umbrian cuisine, with particular attention to recipes based on feathered game such as pigeon, quail, partridge, and turtle doves. Feronia, like the other Dimore di Borgo Tessile, is only 200 meters from the Orvieto Cathedral, an architectural and cultural jewel of our country.
Getting around the historic center requires a slow and steady pace, allowing you to reach every corner of Orvieto in just a few minutes. The main means of transportation are the "pollicini" (minibuses) that circulate around the city and the funicular that connects Piazza Cahen (in the historic center, about a 10-minute walk from the apartment) to the Orvieto Scalo railway station and vice versa.
After a pleasant walk through the streets of the town, you can’t miss stopping at one of the Corso’s wine bars to sip an excellent local wine accompanied by typical delicacies such as cold cuts, cheeses, and much more. Upon request, you will have access to an adjoining garden where you can relax and enjoy the myriad of colors provided by the variety of plants, flowers, and trees present.
Guests are required to pay the tourist tax in cash at the property. The tax in the municipality of Orvieto for our type of activity amounts to €2.20 per person per night (payable for a maximum of 5 nights).
