Locanda Palazzone Orvieto - Umbria

The origins of Locanda Palazzone date all the way back to the 13th century. This imposing period residence, situated in the heart of the Umbrian countryside, and within easy reach of Orvieto, was built as "hospitalis" to accommodate pilgrims traveling towards Rome. Since then, the Palazzone has continued to offer the highest standards of hospitality to visitors making their way to this beautiful part of Umbria.

Meticulous restoration work has conserved the original features of the ancient property whilst, at the same time, allowing for its transformation in modern relais equipped with all the facilities that today's traveler might require. The Palazzone offers guest accommodation in just a few exclusive suites, characterized by a pleasing combination of traditional architectural features, such as mullioned windows and exposed wooden beamed ceilings, and sleek contemporary furnishings.

Whilst staying at Locanda Palazzone, guests enjoy the peace and quiet of the Umbrian countryside, surrounded by the most spectacular scenery. From its hill top position, Locanda Palazzone boasts marvelous views over the vine-covered hills of Rocca Ripesana, the Paglia valley and as far as the city of Orvieto, a panorama which can also be admired from the property's attractive swimming pool.

Locanda Palazzone is synonymous with good wine and food. In the estate's vineyards excellent red and white wines are produced, perfect expression of Umbria's great wine making tradition. During the summer months, the garden and winebar provide charming settings for elegant dinners and wine tastings, during which guests are introduced to the fragrant cuisine and superb wines of Umbria and the neighboring Lazio region.

The Locanda's long list of excursions and guided tours leaves lovers of history, nature and art simply spoilt for choice. Not to be missed: the walk along the Path through the Woods, arguably one of the most beautiful in the whole of Umbria.
