About this house rental

Nestled in Orvieto, this lovely house for $168 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. In 1998 I purchased this house located in the oldest part of Orvieto. For 13 years I have been working with two architects friends to restore it to its current condition. The extensive restorations on the house were done fully respecting the original character of its medieval neighborhood, as well as integrating all modern amenities inside. My house is located half a block away from San Giovenale, the oldest Orvieto Church, which was built in 1004. Orvieto is divided in four quarters (Quartieri) and San Giovenale is one of them. Rental is available with a minimum of three nights stay. Upon your arrival you will be greeted by Paolo Luciani, the manager, who will meet you in the square in front of the train station below the rock. Please look at the video and pictures, which are important as an introduction to an unforgettable experience for your stay in Orvieto. Other things to note: Once your stay is confirmed we will communicate directly by phone and by email. The daily rental price includes mandatory city occupancy tax.

The house has been thoughtfully designed and was very comfortable. Views were tremendous and we loved that the upper town of Orvieto is a walking town. Farmer’s markets on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. San Giovenale church was built in 1000 and is still in use every day. Beautiful mass on Christmas Day. If you’re looking for quiet and serene with great views, this is your place.

It started off a little rough, but we enjoyed the house a lot. The location is fantastic and the views are incredible. It is pretty inside on all the levels and it felt cozy. We would recommend this place to anyone!

Apart from the spectacular views across the valleys and hills, this house has its own archeological exploration on display underneath. Comfortable, spacious, sleeps 5. We would gladly stay again.

An unbelievable experience. The house was perfect and a great size for entertaining family and friends. Orvieto is a very friendly community and made friends for life while there. We are already planning a return trip to visit.

The property is extraordinary! We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Perfect location to explore Umbria and what an incredibly historical and beautiful building it is. It’s in a lovely quiet part of town with beautiful views of the countryside. If you do drive, the parking lot is a good distance from the property - easy walk with the wonderful escalators.

House on the rock was wonderful. The home is in the oldest part of town and overlooks the stunning valley below. Owner and manager were great to work with and very accommodating. House has unique layout with multiple floors and looking into original Etruscan cave. The setting gives you a true experience. This house is ideal for 2 couples or family with older children. Orvieto is beautiful with great restaurants, lots of history, and as a base to explore Umbria and Tuscany. We hope to return again!

This is a difficult review as it will not apply to all types of travelers equally. We were four over 65 seniors with significant overseas traveling experiences. We understand the difficulties of renting within a Medieval City and types of issues that you might have - i.e. stairs. The property is in terrific condition, but it is still not for everyone. There are two full flights of stairs between the upstairs and the second bathroom. In our case, we had two couples and one occupied the upstairs and one the downstairs. As the downstairs tenant, it was very difficult at our ages to constantly add two flights of stairs to nearly everything that you did - bathroom, changing clothes, etc. If you are young group - no issues at all. If you are traveling alone as a couple, no issues. But I could not recommend it for older travelers or a younger family with young children. That is the only real negative that I have. There is a washer/dryer in the basement (rare in Italy) with a dishwasher in the kitchen (even rarer). The facility was beautiful, and the view was to die for each morning. Giovanni and Paolo were gems to deal with and there were absolutely no real surprises. We knew that Paolo spoke very little if any English and were ready to deal with it. He was patient and helpful. Giovanni stepped in when we needed more complicated communication. All in all, it was a wonderful place. Just be aware of the potential traveling companions that are ill suited for this location.
