Find the Cheap Bagnoregio Hotels

The building is historical, with nice original features. Many nice reception rooms, private dining rooms ... When you see it from the street, there is no ”hotel” sign, so you could drive or walk past it ... Most rooms are two flights up (high ceilings, long flights ...), no elevator and the carpet on the stairs is worn out. The breakfast room is dark, and the breakfast offering was very average. The team at breakfast was nice. We were six couples of friends on an alumni reunion, booked for two nights. One couple checked out after one night - their room was cold (end of September, highs around 27 Celsius during the day ...) and they hardly got any sleep. Their door did not lock properly. Another couple was also cold and slept with their coats on. We were in the Stendhal room - small, dark, with a very outdated bathroom. Temperature for us was ok. The beds are not great and need to be updated. The room next door on the side toward the plazza seemed a bit bigger than ours with more light. We would not recommend the Stendhal room. Coming back to the room after dinner was a bit ”eery” with only one dim light in the big hall towards the room. Everyone in the group complained about the showers. Our shower head didn't fit into the ”holder”, so you had to hold it up by hand. The owners should invest - in the comfort of new beds, good locks, modern plumbing, a new carpet on the stairs ...

Stayed one night only. Great location right next to the lake, very quiet and relaxing when we were there. Arranged half board, but there is no restaurant in the hotel so they arranged ride to sister hotel several km down the beach. Dinner there was excellent with a great view of the lake. Room clean and well cared for. Unlike some other reviewers I did not find the decor particularly dated, simply conservative and not modern or trendy. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Orvieto sits like an island of tuffa, floating above the valley. The city hosts one of the most spectacular cathedrals in Italy. And along its one mile corso, there are many shops and restaurants offering Umbrian dishes, like the famous cingale (wild boar). The Hotel Palazzo Piccolomini is ideally located at one end of the city, near the entrance from the parking area below. You step out the door and follow the narrow streets onto the main Corso. The hotel is surprisingly large, with a fine lobby of bar and sitting areas. The room vary from small but cozy to large apartment like units. An new ”underground' bar (like a cave in the tuffa rock of the city) was under construction while we were there. The people running the hotel are ready with anything you need, including tips on seeing the best of Orvieto. A very pleasant stay!
