Hotel la Badia di Orvieto

What a spectacular experience! We visited here for my brothers wedding and it was absolutely perfect. The setting is incredible and so is the service. The rooms are clean. The beds are hard and pillows not great but overall it was a great experience. We prefer cold drinks but unfortunately they were always cold. The reception lady was a bit rude at times too The biggest disappointment was getting ripped off by taxi into town - should be no more than 10euro - we paid 45euro for a 5 minute trip (this isn’t the fault of the hotel though)

FABULOUS- Stunning property a five minute drive from Orvieto. The property is well maintained and has a very quiet pool area. The rooms are a good size with good bathrooms. Breakfast was very good - outside in a courtyard. I would happily return. Staff all very polite & obliging.

We only had one night at this amazing hotel but already booked our next trip here in two month. The place is absolutely gorgeous. Facing the beautiful city of Orvieto on the cliffs this hotel is worth staying at if you are in the area. The trip to Orvieto takes five minute. Our room was very clean, modern and spacious.. the grounds are like walking around in history it self. A gem in an otherwise fantastic region of Italy.

Definitively not 4 stars. The structure is incredible, an historical location breadth taking. The rooms, however, are far to be 4 stars, at least mine. Very dated fyrniture, not enough plugs, noisy small fridge, no coffee, short bed, noise coming from outside, normal breakfast. Bar prices for packaged items are ridicoulus. In the end not value for money.

We had a wedding of 60 people and had the most amazing time. Rosella and Andreina were extremely organized and accommodating. This place is truly magical; you get the feeling that you‘ve gone back in time. We stayed overnight in the fortress and the rooms are clean, spacious and beautiful. If you are in Orvieto it is worth a trip for the views alone.

Visiting La Badia is like stepping into a fairytale. My husband and I held our wedding at La Badia di Orvieto last month (finally, after having to postpone for the last two years due to covid). It was quite simply the most wonderful weekend we could have ever imagined. First of all, the place itself is pure magic. We had booked La Badia as our venue on the basis of photos we had seen (our fantastic wedding planner had previously held a wedding there and the photos were gorgeous). As soon as we arrived at the venue for our wedding weekend and walked around the grounds, we felt as if we were in a fairytale, walking back in time. Some of the reviews comment that the hotel isn’t modern enough- but that’s part of the magic of this place and I think if you visit this hotel you should manage your expectations in terms of modernity. The rooms are beautiful and tastefully appointed and clean. They are not overly modern though and nor would I want them to be. You feel the entire hotel is steeped in history and that is the beauty of it. I’ve never been to another hotel like it. The breakfast at La Badia is also very good - the food was all high quality and there’s a large variety of food (and even some gluten free options). The bar is also open all day and they make absolutely fantastic sandwiches - the ingredients are excellent, especially their bread. The most breathtaking part of this hotel is the Sala Capitolare where the arch is located- this is where we had our wedding dinner and it was spectacular. However, all of the grounds are stunning. The chapel on the grounds where we had our ceremony was so beautiful and serene. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect spot for our ceremony. Our guests also made good use of the swimming pool and tennis court over the course of the weekend. That weekend in May was about 30 degrees Celsius so our guests really enjoyed being able to get into the pool to cool off. Moving onto the fantastic people- they worked tirelessly during our wedding weekend to coordinate with our wedding planner to ensure that all went seamlessly. They truly cared about making sure we had a wonderful weekend, and we so appreciated their kindness and dedication. Rossella, Andreina, Tommaso, Manuel - thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your hard work, dedication and kindness. La Badia is the most magical place, and that weekend will be in our memories forever. We were pinching ourselves the whole weekend as we couldn’t believe how lucky we were to get married in such a stunning location. I can’t say enough positive things about this hotel. I would 100% recommend a stay here - soak up all the beauty it has to offer. We can’t wait to return!
