You won't regret going the extra mile to this boutique hotel in Rocca Ripesena, a panoramic hilltop hamlet 6km west of Orvieto. Its light, spacious rooms and suites, in the main hotel building and spread across the stone village, feature soft, earthy tones and stylish vintage touches – a chesterfield sofa here, a distressed wood beam there.
They say that a hotel is only as good as its host, and Giorgio is as good as they get, welcoming you with a glass of wine and whipping up delicious breakfasts.
