B & B Ippolito

A small bed and breakfast in an old house in Orvieto's historic center, a two minute walk from the cathedral, run by the owner Chiara.

Why people love it

• The hostess. Guests describe Chiara as kind and helpful. She reserved parking, drove guests to a car park, and gave one couple a night tour of Orvieto.
• Location. The Duomo is a two minute walk, yet guests say the street is quiet.
• Period interior. Guests mention antique furniture, books, a fireplace and a view of the Umbrian hills.
• Large clean rooms. Guests describe spacious, spotless rooms and a shared balcony.
• Breakfast. Guests call breakfast plentiful and excellent.

Why they come back

"This will be our regular stop every time we"

The worst thing guests say

The only 1-star review is from November 2018, when a guest said parking was paid, contrary to the advertisement, and far from the hotel. Other guests in 2019 and 2021 say parking in Orvieto's center is hard, but the owner helped each time. No complaints about rooms or cleanliness appear in recent reviews.

Insider tips

• Ask the owner to arrange parking before you arrive. There is no parking in the old town.
• The room is in an old building, so confirm whether stairs are a concern.
• Ask for tips on seeing Orvieto on foot.
