General Description
Resting atop a flat expanse of volcanic rock rising nearly 1000 feet above sea level, Orvieto seems to float above the soft landscape of Umbria. Life in one of Italy's most beautiful and best loved cities is truly wonderful.

Being in the center of Orvieto, you are cradled by architecture, art and history. Within this tastefully restored ancient townhouse, a vaulted brick entryway greets you, beamed ceilings shelter you and an old Etruscan arch, made of golden colored tufa, just blows you away.

The décor is comfortable and welcoming, as is a small furnished terrace off the kitchen surrounded by flowering plants. Inside, windows are screened, and both bedrooms are air conditioned. While technically we list this home as having one and a half bathrooms, there is an additional shower in the utility room. Two baskets of firewood are included in the price. Maid service and meals may be arranged when booking. Smoking and children under the age of 12 are not allowed.

Living in a medieval center calls for lots of walking, mostly on cobblestone lanes. Anima Nobile is in a pedestrian area, and luggage may be dropped off within 50 yards of the entrance. A complimentary garage space 100 yards away is available. A bus stop 200 yards away leads to Piazza Cahen, where the funicular can whisk you down to the train station with service to Florence or Rome.

Shops and restaurants are all nearby. Within 300 yards or less are the Duomo, the Archaeological Museum and the Underground Caves, a labyrinth of over 1200 ancient, manmade caves.

For one of the best views of Umbria, climb atop the Torre del Moro. Finally, due to the volcanic soil, the area's white wine is of the highest quality.
