What to do · Orvieto
Opposite the cathedral façade, in a palace on the square, the Faina family collection brings together Greek and Etruscan pottery, bronzes and pieces from the necropolises of Orvieto, which was one of the great Etruscan cities. With the cathedral ticket it costs €3 more (€11 for both); it is also included in the Carta Unica.

What to order: home-made umbrichelli with the sauce of the day
What to order: the seasonal menu and, with dessert, a late-harvest Orvieto Classico Superiore
Why we like it: Four-star hotel in the palace of the papal Piccolomini family and the medieval Ranieri tower, in the centre, with supervised parking.
Why we like it: Simple three-star hotel on Corso Cavour, 400 m from the cathedral and a few steps from the funicular, with a buffet breakfast and terrace.
Why we like it: A 16th-century villa attributed to Ippolito Scalza, with a park, pool and free parking, a few minutes by car from Orvieto.
