We chose to stay just outside of Orvieto – about 15 minutes outside the city walls.
The Alta Rocca Wine Resort, run by Emiliano and Sabrina, is a fancy “country resort” and spa.
They produce their own olive oil and wine, and rent 30 modern and air-conditioned rooms and a few apartments.
It is popular on weekends as a wedding location. We avoided the weekend, but can see the attraction: this place has luna di miele (honeymoon) written all over it.
It has two pools, a panoramic view restaurant (where we had dinner), a wellness center with Jacuzzi and steam room, massages and spa treatments. It was the perfect place for a quiet evening after a day of connecting Civita and Orvietto.
You can visit the wintery and have private wine tasting upon request. We did not due to our full day.
It is absolutely beautiful here. The surrounding rolling hills help set the perfect canvas of the umbrian countryside. Absolutely gorgeous.
