On he whole, Americans love Italy. Whether it's the beautifully prepared meals, it's vast and varied art and history or the spectacular sight seeing- Italy has it all! Sadly, most of us stop at Rome thinking that's it, but will not have not experienced the real Italy.
Travel only one hour North from Rome by train and you will find a place that dreams are made of. The remarkable hillside town of Orvieto in the Umbria region is much like striking gold- it is the real thing and so is the gentle yet sincere Italian hospitality offered by Daniele at B and B Villa Degli Ulivi.
Consisting of only 7 available rooms, this new but "built in the old style" B and B could be your best find in Italy. Large clean, comfortable and modern rooms, -ours upstairs had a fabulous view of the valley, other rooms had a deck. A lovely garden in the back is open for guests use too. Free parking if you are driving, and free pick up at the train if you're using Public transportation. High speed internet available in your room at no additional charge.
You are well taken care of at Villa Degli Ulivi. A scrumptious buffet awaits you in the morning with fresh fruit, cold cuts, cheese and an assortment of cakes and breads. Daniele will make you a wonderful expresso or coffee to enjoy while enjoying conversation with fellow travelers and planning your days activities. He is very generous with his time advising the guests with every detail of their Umbria travels. Since parking in the town is difficult, Danielle willingly drives you up to the town and drops you off for touring so that the walk back, all just about downhill, is then easy. Can't say enough - just want to add our heartfelt thanks- and we can't wait to return! read more
