That settles it… Orvieto is still our favorite hill town!
When a parent is asked which child of theirs is their favorite, they tend to say they’re all loved equally. We realize this is mostly true, but some are just a tad more loved than others…
Orvieto is our favorite child so to speak. Like the parent of a large brood, we say we love all of the places we’ve been to in Italy. However, it is the place we would come to live, if it were at all possible. As it is, we try to return every time we make the trip to Italia. So by default it’s our favorite!
Orvieto is a classic Umbrian hill town
As hill towns go, Orvieto has so much going for it. It has stunning Umbrian views to offer as well as excellent people friendly streets to explore. The atmosphere is laid back and the food is great.
What’s great about Orvieto is that it’s a place that’s still alive with locals that live here, work here and send their kids to school here. It has a feel of community that other places don’t.
Is it bad that I kind of want to keep it a secret?
I would hate to see this town overrun with tour buses like many others are. Honestly, we just love it here. It is a perfect place to relax in with photo ops at every turn. When you are tired of walking, rent an E-bike like we did today and explore it’s wonderful streets. It was great fun!
