Tenuta Ponziani - Griffin's Resort  

Tucked into the rural outskirts of Orvieto, about 10 km from the city center, this family-friendly farm stay puts countryside calm within easy reach of Giardino Frontone, Rocca Paolina, Basilica di San Domenico, St. Patrick’s Well and the Orvieto funicular.

A Beaux-Arts–style farm stay with 15 air-conditioned rooms featuring refrigerators, desks and complimentary bottled water. Rooms have private bathrooms with bathtubs or rainfall showerheads and come with digital programming and free Wi‑Fi. Expect a relaxed, slightly rustic-meets-classic vibe, garden views and alfresco spots for lingering.

Soak in the outdoor pool, book a treatment in the spa and massage room, rent bicycles to explore the countryside, or picnic on the grounds. On-property perks include a bar and restaurant, free parking, complimentary wireless internet across the resort, laundry and concierge services, plus elevator access and shuttle/transfer options (surcharge).

A business center and 200 m² (about 2,153 sq ft) of conference and meeting space make this a workable countryside base. Additional support includes limo/town car services, train-station pick-up and airport shuttle on request, plus complimentary newspapers in the lobby.

Dine at the on-site restaurant and enjoy drinks at the bar or on the garden-facing terrace with alfresco seating when weather allows. The resort serves a complimentary buffet breakfast daily, offers limited room service and hosts a daily reception for guests.
