Report 1005: A Taste of Italy

By Pat and Henry from Kansas, Spring 2006

Page 5 of 8: Orvieto

St. Patrick's well

We arrive at Orvieto and take a taxi to Valentina’s.

The rooms are nice and the location is great. The bathroom is pretty good sized and has a hairdryer. Our room has a little balcony over looking a small courtyard. We have stayed here before so Valentina greets us with hugs and kisses and enquires about our grandson (he was with us at Valentina’s a couple of years ago).

We have some wine at a little outdoor café by the Duomo and people watch. There is a lot of activity because of a big concert tonight. Valentina recommended a restaurant to us, made reservations and also got us a 10% discount. The restaurant is Pozzo Etrusco D’Aronne. A charming waitress greets us and does her best to describe the menu using an Italian to English dictionary. We have a great meal at a good price then go to the basement to see the well.

Sunday

We explore the town. Check out the great views from the fortezza walls and look in on the many small churches. Lunch is at Il Moro. Dinner is at La Boca and it is very good.
