Hotel Villa Ciconia  

Tucked in Ciconia on the edge of Orvieto, this 15th‑century villa sits where the Chiani and Carcaione meet. Close to Duomo di Orvieto, St. Patrick’s Well and the funicular, it’s a short drive to the medieval hill town and its sights. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, with easy motorway access and nearby train/bus links.

A historic boutique hotel of just 12 rooms, Villa Ciconia keeps original thick walls, large beams and terracotta floors. Many rooms have canopy beds and park views; the villa’s layout was designed so the Carcaione once ran under its arches, leaving the piano nobile on the first floor. Expect old‑world touches, a tranquil vibe and a celebrated stone fireplace and lacunar ceiling in the restaurant hall.

Relax by the outdoor pool, rent bicycles to explore the countryside, or use the on‑site solarium and wellness services. There’s free self parking and concierge help for tours and local activities. Indoor pool, tennis and football facilities are available nearby; babysitting is offered for families (surcharge).

Work-ready with a 24‑hour business center, express check‑in and conference facilities (about 100 m²) that include two meeting rooms. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge and complimentary newspapers are provided in the lobby.

The ground-floor restaurant serves high‑class Umbrian cuisine beneath painted allegorical ceilings and pairs dishes with a well‑stocked wine cellar featuring Orvieto Classico. There’s also a bar/lounge, a coffee shop/café and 24‑hour room service for late nights.
