One of the most unique lodging experiences I've had anywhere in the world. Lovingly restored…read morecastle with odd corners to explore and details to discover. Can't beat the restaurant's deck for sunset views of Perugia. Tough to find but worth the effort.

If you're staying in or near Perugia and you want to get away from the crowds of the city center,…read moreyou can't do better than Castello di Monterone. Situated on the opposite side of the valley east of the city, along a ridge that separates Perugia from Ponte Valliceppi, the renovated castle is both a perfect spot for exploring Perugia and as a jumping off point for trips to Assisi, Spoleto, or wherever else in Umbria your fancy takes you. If you have a car, Perugia's city center is a short 5 to 10 minute drive, and taxi's can get you there for about EUR 12. The nighttime views of Perugia are stunning, and the castle itself could not be more charming with winding stairs that lead to rooms, balconies, and towers, in addition to the hearths, portals, and dungeons that you'd expect from a castle whose foundation was started in the 14th century. Although the rooms are not big, they are very comfortable, nicely appointed, and many have spectacular views of the Umbrian countryside. Try for a room on the western side of the castle for the best views. Finally, the hotel's on-site restaurant, Gradale, serves delicious Umbrian fare at what we considered to be very reasonable prices. Some of the better meals we had during a recent trip to Tuscany and Umbria were our meals at Gradale. All in all, our stay at Castello di Monterone was one of the most pleasant aspects of our recent vacation, and the hotel itself one of the best we've stayed in in recent memory.

Convenient, (very) Clean, and Comfortable. We would definitely stay here again…read more My spouse and I stayed in the Alva room for 2 nights. It is on the second-floor, so we only had to walk up one stairway. The room had air-conditioning, which we only used when in the room during the day. At night we opened the window partially, enough to let air in. (The window is screened.) It was nice to awake to the pleasant sounds of the surrounding Orvieto families as they prepared for their day. Very clean room. Espresso maker and coffee provided, along with some snacks and juice. Valentina provides her guests with a "tourist card", which provided us discounts at the sights around town. It also provides discounts at some restaurants and services. A great benefit. Valentina also kindly made us reservations at the two restaurants we had selected.

A great alternative to staying in a hotel! Valentina offers a selection of individual apartments…read morethroughout Orvieto. It's like being a local as other apartments in the buildings are owned by locals. We had a quiet apartment on a small side street. It would have been challenging to find if Valentina's staff had not kindly taken our bags and led us to the apartment. Our apartment had a kitchen, dining table and rustic wooden ceiling beams. I'm guessing the wooden beams are centuries older than the US. The bed was one of the most comfortable we experienced during our trip. Food markets and restaurants were within easy walking distance. I highly recommend selecting one of Valentina's apartments that meets your desires! Each apartment is different and in a separate Orvieto location.
