We found this hotel by accident while we were traveling to the places less traveled. The building…read morehas a lot of history involved and it was nice to hear it from the property owner. The current owner put a lot of NICE details to not only the room where we were staying, but also throughout the whole building. The room where we stayed was on the very top floor with a balcony overlooking a mountain. Not sure of the name, but it was a nice view. You walk into the bathroom, and you can see nicely done custom pin stripes around the toilet, sink and bidet. I recommend requesting one of the top floors! The history of the building (from what was told to us) is that this was once owned by a 1400ish Nobleman. Who then sold it to a couple where they turned it into a hotel with just a few floors. Not sure what happened in betwixt the current the two couples, but the couple eventually ended up splitting up and now the current owner owns it. There's also a history basement where I was unable to go to. I give this 4 Stars because if it was a 5, then everything would be perfect. The beds were comfortable, but it was two twin size beds put together. The internet is fast enough, but it can be faster. Overall experience... I highly recommend this place to anyone who is traveling outside of the tourist traps.

An agent booked us here for two nights. We had no idea what to expect, but as soon as we arrived,…read moreJude (concierge? Porter? Parking attendant? Bartender? He did it all!) came out to greet us and take over our luggage and park the car. What a relief after a long drive. We were in a building across from the hotel, but that wasn't an issue. Literally the nicest room I've ever had in a European hotel. Huge bathroom with counter space. Opened onto a shared lounge that was GINORMOUS. Small set of steps up, then elevator. Hot water maker, Nescafé, and fridge in room. A/C (wall unit, but totally adequate). Great location just a block or so from the town square. We walked to the Pazzo S. Patrizio, funicolare, Duomo di Orvieto. I just have nothing bad to say about this place. The best part was the service though. Outstanding. Jude is the man!

Absolutely fantastic!…read more My sister recently got married here and we (the wedding party) had the hotel to ourselves for the weekend. The now hotel/restaurant was once a 13th Century monastery. The result was a fairytale setting. Seriously. It was amazing. The rooms were spacious, clean and well appointed. The included breakfast was delicious and included everything one might expect of a European-style feast. The food, the entire time, was stunning. We had two dinners. . . one was a "welcome" dinner and the other was the wedding reception. At the welcome dinner numerous "salads" were served as well as pizza. I think it was one of my most favorite meals ever. Everything was fresh and simply prepared, letting the flavors of the food shine. Which brings me too. . . The wedding. . . everything was perfect. The setting, the drinks, the food, the service. . . it was like something out of a movie! I still get teary thinking about it! La Badia was amazing - I am so glad that they delivered such a spectacular wedding weekend! On a side note, La Badia is situated just below the city of Orvieto. Orvieto is just as magical. It's a small, quaint town with a gorgeous dumo and warm people! Stroll the streets, see the sights and eat in the sidewalk cafes - and experience a true Italy.

Cons: some of the rooms are quite small. Our AC until did not work very well. Very, very, small shower. TV does not work well and very few channels. Shutters on window did not close completely or latch closed so needed to prop suitcase against the shutter to keep them closed at night. No lift, so need to carry things up many layers of stairs. Not waking distance to town.
