Altarocca Wine Resort Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

If you like carefully considered design and color ways, if you appreciate subtlety and don’t mind some atmospheric drama to your surroundings, then you must stay here. The vibe of this place is off the charts, the renovation is great. Front desk very welcoming and helpful, made a couple great food recommendations. Sit in the courtyard or bar for drinks at the very least. Sit in the living rooms and pretend you’re in a monastery (uncomfortable couch for longer term relaxing though, it’s just a bench really). Super comfortable beds. Could use labels on the six switches by my bedside and instructions for chromcast on tv. Always function over form, folks. I loved being here for a short 2 night stay. I wish I’d eaten at coro but the menu wasn’t appealing too much to me. Bartender made a perfect espresso martini and a wonderful wine by the glass recommendation. Love that items in fridge were gratis. It’s the little things. 5 stars.

Orvieto sits like an island of tuffa, floating above the valley. The city hosts one of the most spectacular cathedrals in Italy. And along its one mile corso, there are many shops and restaurants offering Umbrian dishes, like the famous cingale (wild boar). The Hotel Palazzo Piccolomini is ideally located at one end of the city, near the entrance from the parking area below. You step out the door and follow the narrow streets onto the main Corso. The hotel is surprisingly large, with a fine lobby of bar and sitting areas. The room vary from small but cozy to large apartment like units. An new ”underground' bar (like a cave in the tuffa rock of the city) was under construction while we were there. The people running the hotel are ready with anything you need, including tips on seeing the best of Orvieto. A very pleasant stay!

L’hotel si trova in ottima posizione, assolutamente centrale a due passi da tutto ad Orvieto. Logicamente il problema del parcheggio esiste anche se avendo letto su Booking che c’era la P di parcheggio non mi sono posto il problema. Risultato: il parcheggè il parcheggio pubblico a 12€ a notte distante 10 min buoni a piedi che con le valigie potrebbero non essere il massimo per persone anziane. La persona alla reception è stata molto cortese e disponibile. Le parti comuni dell’hotel sono assolutamente eleganti e nobili, mentre la camera che mi è stata data era molto piccola, tra l’altro senza scrivania (una minuscola a mezzaluna) che per me che dovevo lavorare con il pc è stato fastidioso. Colazione in una stanza minuscola, con poco assortimento, soprattutto di salato, anche per un tre stelle. Inoltre mi sono seduto ad un tavolo apparecchiato e le quattro posate erano sporche!!!! ma l’ho scoperto tardi purtroppo per me! E pure la tovaglietta di carta monouso non era stata cambiata! Mettere in bocca una posata usata da altri non è il massimo e infastidisce parecchio. La pulizia della camera lascia a desiderare: polvere sui quadri e sulle luci….per non parlare della ventola di aspirazione in bagno (vedi foto) con un dito di polvere …. Non pulita da mesi. Episodio richiesta copia di cortesia della fattura: l’ho chiesta al check-in che mi ha rimandato alla sera. Richiesta alla sera mi ha rimandato dopo cena, e poi mi hanno rimandato alla mattina. Logicamente al mattino quando l’ho chiesta mi hanno detto che me l’avrebbero spedita per mail. Di fronte alla mia ulteriore richiesta che la copia mi serviva subito, la signora, con una notevole smorfia di fastidio me l’ha preparata. Che fatica!!! Solitamente dormo in alcune catene e in quegli hotel sono loro a chiedermi se mi serve la copia di cortesia. Poi non chiedetevi come mai loro lavorano… Il tutto per 95€ più 12€ di parcheggio. Mica pochi. Mai più

What a heavenly stay I was fortunate enough to have here! I stayed for 5 nights. I arrived by train and was collected by the hotel's driver which was pre-arranged. My room was spacious and cool and so very comfortable. I was thrilled to discover I had a solid large table at which to sit. The care and attention that emanated from everywhere is a testament to Francesca and her family. The hand made furniture and embroidered tablecloth and bed linen in my room, enhanced the homely atmosphere. Francesca's friendliness and warmth, combined with her sound detailed advice and recommendations, made my stay so relaxing and memorable. As I didn't have a car I used the mountain path behind the hotel to walk up to Orvieto. It was steep but gave fabulous views on the way and at the top. Breakfast was plentiful and homemade, served by a charming young lady whose name I forget, who was always smiling and personable. It was so lovely to be greeted by her each morning. The restaurant across the road was where I took my evening meals. I enjoyed the gorgeous gardens and the swimming pool. I would return in a heartbeat.

The room is very clean, the size is right, and the equipment is new and complete. The breakfast is very delicious for European ones. There are a variety of breads and the service is good. As soon as you enter the door, you will be asked if you want hot tea and coffee. There is no self-service machine that puts the hotel down. taste. In addition, the location is also very good, you can see the church as soon as you leave the hotel.

We loved our one-night stay at this hotel. The town is wonderful, and the hotel is wonderfully situated. We walked the 15 minutes from the top of the funicular. Our room was a corner room on the 5th floor, with a large balcony on one side and a smaller balcony (still large enough for two chairs and a table) on the other side. Breakfast was quite nice. The location is within a ~5 minute walk of a number of great restaurants, several beautiful piazzas including the Duomo. Will definitely be back on a future trip!

A beautiful, clean and clean environment, a very good location from the historical centre, with a short walk to take the funiculary courtesy of the staff that make you feel in the family, available and comfortable,
