Behind its carved stone doorways lie frescoes uncovered beneath centuries of plaster, coffered ceilings restored by hand, and striped textiles.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Cobblestone lanes wind past ceramic workshops toward the Gothic cathedral, perched high on Orvieto's volcanic tufa plateau.
The rooms
Bedrooms pair exposed timber ceilings and striped textiles, while the Executive Suite features a private terrace with a heated plunge pool.
Gocce Bar & Bistrot
The cocktail bar sits under vaulted terracotta ceilings and opens onto a leafy courtyard patio with a stone fountain.
Coro Restaurant
The dining room occupies a deconsecrated sixteenth-century church, serving contemporary Umbrian dishes beneath vaulted stone and period frescoes.
How it began
Once home to Renaissance notary Petrvs Facienus, the sixteenth-century residence stood abandoned for centuries before its detailed architectural restoration.
