La Terrazza--Orvieto historic center 1 bd w/ large green terrace & AC

Description

The apartment with a large and beautiful terrace is located in the center of Orvieto. Orvieto, in Umbria, Italy, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of Etruscan origin. Orvieto rises on a 150-meter-high tufa cliff, rising above the surrounding landscape full of olives, sunflowers, wheat, and vineyards that produce the famous Orvieto Classico white wine. The city's distinctive feature stems from the particular relationship between this sheer cliff and the fabric of the city, dominated by its glorious Gothic cathedral. The medieval and Renaissance fabric of the city is fully intact with important palaces, museums, and piazze. It is also a vibrant contemporary small city with traditional festivals throughout the year, and an international jazz festival held each year between Christmas and New Year's Day. The food is fantastic, featuring wild boar, truffles, homemade pasta, local greens, and cheeses. That is not even mentioning the wonderful breads and pastries. Whether you eat out or in, you can easily shop in the market and local shops for delicacies to bring home and share on the terrace. It has the feel of a remote Italian hilltown, yet it is easy to reach by car or train. It is 1.5 hours from the center of Rome and just over that to get to Florence. You can depart from Fiumicino Airport in Rome and, with one train change, reach Orvieto directly. From the train, there is a funicular up to the historic hilltown, and from there it is a short 0.5 km walk to the apartment, or a convenient small bus is available. The apartment is in the center of the historic town with a bi-weekly market steps away and access to all the shops and markets on the main street, also steps away. The apartment is updated and tastefully furnished, includes good-quality bed and bath linens, and features a fully appointed kitchen. If you travel by train, everything you need is in the historic town -- or by local bus to a small but tasteful shopping center in Orvieto Scalo, 15 minutes away. By train, you may easily reach Rome, Florence, Perugia, Siena, and other neighboring areas. If you arrive by car, there are local parking options, including garages and street parking. There is a fee, but there are good options for 3- and 7-day passes, and there is free parking at the train station in Orvieto Scalo. With a car, the exploration is endless: Lago di Bolsena, Assisi, Perugia, Cortona, Civita di Bagnoregio, and other notable places in Umbria. Orvieto sits on the border between Tuscany and Lazio, and trips to Montepulciano, Pienza, or Siena make great day trips. As a scholar, the space is a wonderful place to work, steps to all the amenities and piazze of the town, but quiet and comfortable with a large terrace almost impossible to find in Orvieto to extend your working and living space. It is inspiring to be in this small city, which, while visited by tourists, remains a vibrant, longstanding community that welcomes them. This is a one-bedroom space, but in the living area the sofa converts to a sofabed and is comfortable for hosting two more people. The apartment is fully furnished, and you should find everything you may need in the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. It is a special place, so deeply historic yet easy to access. https://www.orvietoviva.com/en/about-orvieto/
