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.

He offered us a ride up the hill (but we drove--big mistake in the rain & not use to stick shift). Anyways, the room was pretty, nice accents and paintings. We got a balcony with a nice view.

Located just outside one of the entry ways into Orvieto with stunning views over the valley, this newer B&B is an incredible value for what you get. We we had a room that would have been perfect for a family but there were only two of us. There was one room with two double beds connected to another room with a huge king bed. Simple decor but elegant at the same time. Nice big bathroom, refrigerator in the room and a really nice balcony off one of the bedrooms. The outside area is where this place really shines! The view from the very large patio with tables and some nice wicker furnishings called to us at the end of a long day exploring. We would open up a bottle of wine and just gaze at the view. A very nice breakfast including eggs, cake, sereal, cake, fruit, cake, juice, cake and coffee and an assortment of teas. And did I mention cake? Seriously, they had about 6 different cakes/pies/pastries each morning! The proprietors live here as well and they aim to please. We didn't want to leave this place and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The waiter, Roberto was terrific and was willing to share a lot of local knowledge with us, that was super helpful.

Eleonor was so prompt to answer each time and she was so incredibly helpful in helping me plan this amazing night from so far away.

Breakfast is included and the man who was the barista was very nice and friendly. He makes tasty coffees with pretty foams. The breakfast room has a beautiful view too. Check in and check out was a breeze. They do have good WiFi here. It's a short walk up a steep hill to restaurants and shops. Parking is included with the hotel but spaces are pretty tight. We had a van and it unfortunately got dented in the process of trying to fit into the parking spot we were given. We were in a triple room which was a twin sofa bed and a king size bed upstairs in a loft. It was a big room. The restroom was a little dated and there was some mold in the shower.
