La Badia Di Orvieto

The monastery setting was fabulous, even better than the website portrayed. The buildings and grounds were exceptional; very interesting and authentic. In fact, it is the most interesting place I've ever stayed.

This hotel is a spectacular old abbey with terrific photo opportunities. Location was great with a panorama of Orvietto on the top of the cliff. The staff was excellent and very knowledgeable of the history of the abbey. The restaurant was also excellent and we enjoyed watching the chef grill our dinner in the huge open fire place with lots of panache.

In spite of the air conditioning, our room was too warm.

LaBadia is in a beautiful setting. Added to the fact that you are staying at a very old monastery complete with tower and walls 4 feet thick - I don't see how anyone wouldn't have a relaxing time here. Wonderful gourmet restaurant as an option after a long day traipsing through the countryside. Nice bar/coffee bar to enjoy early morning and later in the day. The staff was very helpful and polite, the linens were very nice. Breakfast buffet was included and was good - there were plenty of options available including cereals, yogurt, fresh fruit, pancetta, cheese and breads.

The rooms and bathroom felt a little dated but clean.
