Area city center

The structure gets its name from the medieval tower (built in 1290) that can be seen from Piazza del Comune, namely Torre Polidori. Having survived almost intact to this day, it was used as a corner structure of the Renaissance building to which it is an extension, and is considered as one with the palace itself. Behind a very simple facade, it has an ornate courtyard, enclosed on two sides by a stone portico with arches on columns dating back to the late 15th century.

The structure has been completely renovated and finished in March 2013.

Located near the medieval quarter, it allows you to reach all the most important monuments of the city on foot (the cathedral, the palace of the captain of the people, the palace of the seven, etc.).

Free parking available.

Public transport stops in the immediate vicinity of the structure.

What guests say

Reviews consistently appreciate the central location, perfect for exploring Orvieto on foot. Guests highlight the spotless cleanliness, historic charm of the building, and the hospitable hosts, although some note the hosts were sometimes discreet or less present. Rooms are comfortable, well equipped, and typically quiet, with some offering nice views. Breakfast is generally plentiful, mostly self-service, and sometimes consists of packaged items. Guests mention several stairs, which may be challenging for those with mobility issues, and occasional parking difficulties, usually managed via passes or nearby public parking.

Well situated, but difficult to get to and from the station, and taxis are difficult to find.

Torre Polidori is a fantastic place to stay in Orvieto. The B&B is in a lovely palazzo on a quiet, old street very near Piazza della Repubblica, where the city bus stops. It is clean, comfortable and has a welcoming host. We appreciated having access to the kitchen for hot drinks and a generous self-service breakfast. Thanks, Catia.

Air conditioning, kitchen available, excellent hospitality, comfortable room but with separate private bathroom. Long staircase to reach the room. I recommend it anyway.

As soon as we arrived, the very kind owner welcomed us and helped us unload the heavy motorcycle bags. The historic structure, 500 years old, is still well maintained, the room small but cozy, clean as well as the bathroom, spacious and well-stocked breakfast area, I would say quality-price is the TOP! Thanks again! Probably see you again in the near future!

Perfect location for walking around, excellent solution for cars with covered parking, clean rooms and common area. Breakfast with a wide selection and the manager was willing to accommodate us, also having a celiac. Highly recommended.

After a small misunderstanding at the beginning (I had asked for the triple room because it has the bathroom in the room, I was given the double room), nothing to complain about. Maximum availability and courtesy. Excellent breakfast. The location in the historic center with parking difficulties nearby is penalizing.

I stayed for one night. The apartment is completely renovated and modern, the private bathroom is in the corridor but we were the only guests, so we had no issues. Breakfast consisted of packaged products but with a good variety, the table was set the night before by the owners (kind, helpful and not intrusive). We could leave the car in the covered parking included in the price. The property is close to everything. Orvieto deserves a full day or two half days. You can see all it has to offer, even the paid attractions are worth it.

In an optimal location. Private bathroom outside the room. Once the luggage is unloaded, it is possible to park with the owner's pass (free) in silos. Clean and quiet place despite the restaurant under the window. The breakfast was to be managed without the presence of the manager, with packaged food and we did not like it. There are no city maps in the B&B. In our case, the owner was not very present but still friendly.

Brand new and beautiful B&B, very clean and modern. The double room is beautiful, large but also the single room, ample common space with a kitchen complete with every comfort, breakfast rich in choice and excellent location in the city center. Furthermore, the owner is very helpful and very kind, which never excuses. Absolutely recommended and to return.
