Villa Ciconia is an old palatial house set in nice gardens just 2 km from the main highway to Rome and very easy access to visit Orvieto which is a driver's nightmare. The deluxe room was spacious but very basic with a tiny bathroom. Breakfast was nice and the buffet was quite extensive. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed as was... More

First impressions were good. Beautiful old building clean and well presented. However! Too few staff to offer anything more than basic service. No atmosphere at all, dining room silent and gloomy. Swimming pool at rear of hotel with no direct access, no facilities for daytime food and drinks and surrounded by 15 metre high bamboo with no sunshine and millions... More

We stayed for two nights, eating at the restaurant once, and very much enjoyed our time here. The staff were friendly and the hotel itself pretty amazing, with beautiful, spacious, comfortable rooms. A very nice pool also and a decent restaurant. Being a bit away from the city of Orvieto was actually really good as we had the benefit of... More

A lovely 'castle' hotel - great for visiting Orvieto. Great staff, good pool and very nice and clean rooms.

What a pleasant place to stay! It is only minutes from the main part of Cortona. The grounds are quiet and peaceful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Don't miss the restaurant. It is a terrific value, and the food was the best we had on this trip to iTALY.

Lovely 17th century house with superb large rooms, windows and river underneath. Only for those with car willing to drive around. We stayed 7 nights in mid May. Orvieto center ten min up the hill, in May paid parking easy to get. We have been here before but wanted to come back as the setting is just unbelievable and city... More

In the oppressive heat, it was like finding an oasis including a pool. The villa is wonderfully restored with delightful rooms--if you don't mind stairs. The restaurant served an excellent reasonable dinner. The AC worked well.

We stayed here one night and were very disappointed. The bedroom was fairly clean (apart from the dusty flowers) however the bathroom was grubby. I did ask for the bathroom to be cleaned when we went out for the afternoon however the request was ignored. There didn't seem to be any communal area or bar (or we were not told... More

I came for a long getaway weekend but did not resist going further the next morning. The name of the place is Ristorante Albergo Villa Ciconia but the restaurant has been closed since some time. The front desk was friendly giving some indication where to eat but they were completely outdated, 2 out of three indications were closed for a... More
