Holiday rentals near Palazzo del Popolo

While relatively spartan, Castello di Morcicchia is a superb place to spend time in a serene, peaceful setting in the Umbrian countryside, far from the maddening tourist hordes. The Castle is within easy driving distance of Umbria's most renowned hilltop towns and many smaller ones. There are some very pretty walks into the surrounding forests. And a fantastic terrace at the top of the castle on which to sit in the sun and gaze at the sublime vistas.

This was an utterly spectacular, beautifully decorated and maintained apartment, with the city out front (on the street side) and with a balcony out back, overlooking nothing but greenery and farmland. You couldn't possibly to any better than this.

Beautiful and cleverly designed and decorated. Right in the heart of the town. Being in Orvieto is Like being in a Zeffirelli movie. Stay here if you possibly can.

Lovely peaceful and relaxing setting within a vineyard overlooking Orvieto.

This apartment is spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and the rooftops from almost every window. It has everything you would need, including a basic pantry. There is only 2 of us but we enjoyed the indulgence of having a bit more space to spread out. Carlo was so helpful and approachable, always responding promptly to our questions. He gave us a tour of the old town, pointing out the sites and his favourite places to eat, while showing us where to park. He then helped us plan our day trips to the surrounding countryside. Just a warning for those with mobility issues that this apartment has a lot of stairs and the town has some steep streets, as do most hilltop towns. Carlo helped us with our luggage so that was not a problem. This was a very relaxing place to base our exploration of Umbria which we highly recommend.
