Hotel La Badia di Orvieto is a 4-star hotel of invaluable historical and artistic significance, housed in a majestic 12th-century Benedictine abbey. Situated on a panoramic hill, it overlooks the cliff of Orvieto, offering a breathtaking view of the Duomo and the city. The beautifully preserved structure maintains its medieval charm, with the cloister, church, and bell tower blending with the tranquility of the Umbrian countryside, providing a stay of discreet luxury and profound relaxation.
The abbey, founded in 1100, is a masterpiece of Romanesque-Gothic architecture. The hotel is spread across the ancient monastic spaces, including the cloister with its original columns and the small church. The 22 rooms and suites are distributed between the Abbey and the Palazzina, preserving the historical style with antique furnishings, wooden beamed ceilings, and terracotta floors. Each room is unique and offers a peaceful retreat while ensuring all modern comforts, including free Wi-Fi.
The vast park surrounding La Badia unfolds into terraced gardens that offer unique glimpses of the Tiber Valley and Orvieto. The center of summer life is the splendid outdoor swimming pool, located in one of the most panoramic areas of the entire property. Here, guests can relax on sunbeds, enjoying the silence and the spectacular view of the cliff. The historical atmosphere makes every moment of relaxation unique and evocative.
The hotel's restaurant, located in an evocative hall with vaulted ceilings or, during the warmer months, outdoors in the cloister courtyard, celebrates traditional Umbrian and Italian cuisine. Fresh, seasonal ingredients are used, many sourced from the surrounding area, in homage to the rich enogastronomic tradition of Orvieto, renowned for its white wine. The cellar offers a wide selection of local and national labels to accompany refined dinners.
Hotel La Badia is ideal for exploring Umbria. The location is convenient: the center of Orvieto is reachable in a few minutes by car. The hotel offers free private parking, equipped meeting rooms for events and weddings, and the possibility of organizing guided tours in the region. A bar service is available near the cloister. The combination of history, panorama, and quality services makes it a favored destination for those seeking an unforgettable and authentic stay.

His Opinion: Le cadre est sublime
Dommage qu’il n’y ait que ça;
Le restaurant est fermé et apparemment cela fait des années (et toujours pas noté sur le site)
La chambre est très sommaire (vieillotte) donc le rapport qualité/prix n’y est pas malgré un accès à une piscine très plaisant. Le Check-in est bâclé, pas de conseil pour un bon restaurant.. dommage car le lieu est exceptionnel mais pas l’expérience

His Opinion: Le lieu est exceptionnel, vraiment magique... Quelques améliorations dans le confort seraient bienvenues (chambre/salle-de-bains un peu vétustes, parking qu'on apprécierait ombragé, toilettes piscine redoutables...).
