Description

We have so named this B&B because originally it was the loft space of an old medieval building of Orvieto with trussed roofs of wooden beams and thick walls of tufa, wich give the premises a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

Situated next to the "Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo" (Palace of the People's Captain) Conference Building and only a 300 metres from the Duomo in the historical centre of Orvieto, can be easily
reached from the car parking areas or by those who arrive by train or bus.

This centrally located B&B allows guests to completely visit the city walking leisurely through the picturesque alleys of Orvieto.

The accomodation consists of three double/twin bedrooms, two of wich look out into the Piazza del Popolo and the typical rooftops of the surrounding buildings.

All rooms have en-suite facilities, colour TV and are tastefully furnished.

At disposal also a apartment with Kitchen 2 rooms and bathroom.

To reach us:
by train: in front of the railway station take the funicular and the connected minibus and get off at the "Tribunale" or "Duomo" stops.

by car: follow the road signs indicating the Palazzo del Popolo.

We found that the B&B was centrally located which made it very easy to get around all the sites we wanted to see. It would have been helpful to have known that the ticket for the funicular also included the bus to the top. All you have to do is flag the bus. It was a 30 minute walk with suitcases that could have been avoided. While it was nice to know that there was a common room shared by all to have coffee and even purchase our own food to store in the fridge, what was offered in the rooms was a disappointment. All in all, it was a pleasant experience.

Very central location, within a few minutes walk you can reach the main points of interest in the city. The lady who welcomed us was very kind and courteous. Even though breakfast was not included in the reservation, we were provided with coffee, tea, pastries, biscuits, and jam. I will gladly return.

The room is ideal for visiting Orvieto as it is located in the heart of the city. It is clean, spacious, equipped with air conditioning and all the 'essential' amenities. The very positive picture is completed by the courtesy of the manager and her mother, who also provide useful practical information on food and wine venues.

The hosts were great and this is an amazing little Umbrian town on a hill. I wish that we had had more time there. There is a vibrancy to this area and the Farmers Market outside on Saturday morning was spectacular.

I stayed, along with some relatives, at the B&B "La Soffitta" for a summer holiday in Orvieto. Truly an excellent experience, from all points of view: in the management of the reservation, with precision and clarity in email communication; in the check-in, with the flexibility that a long journey on Italian roads "imposes"; in the affectionate courtesy and competence and in the elegant discretion of the stay management by Silvana and Beatrice; in the very high quality of the rooms, both (in our case) the triple and the single, well-kept and with all necessary services but without betraying the typical Umbrian style in the construction of the accommodations. The only negative point, having to leave the beautiful Orvieto!

Central location, cleanliness, kindness, and availability of the owner. The only 'downside' is 53 steps to reach the room, but on the other hand, if it's called 'B&B La Soffitta,' there must be a reason!

I stayed the night of January 5th for the Epiphany weekend. We had a very good experience both for the central location of the B&B and for the kindness of the hosts. If we return to Orvieto, we will probably choose this bed and breakfast.

bernardo

The owner, affable and kind, personally welcomed us even though we arrived late. The B&B La Soffitta is located in the historic center of Orvieto and has been tastefully furnished, highlighting the virtues of the ancient palace. It is recommended not only for those staying for one night during a trip, but also for those who want to stop for a few days. Kind regards, Bernardo Rodolfo Masera.
