Your journey will be by fully-equipped car, and you will be accompanied by a knowledgeable English-speaking driver. Orvieto is one of Italy's many sun-soaked hill towns. It has managed to retain its charm over the centuries. The town sits majestically a thousand feet above the valley floor on a big chunk of tufo, a porous volcanic rock from the nearby Lake of Bolsena. Wine aficionados will love the locally-produced wines, while everyone will love indulging their taste buds in the typical Umbrian cuisine. Art lovers will revel in the spectacular Duomo, with its gleaming mass of mosaics, stained glass, and sculpture on the façade, and the stunningly detailed Renaissance frescoes inside. Fans of architecture will marvel at the honeycomb of tunnels and catacombs that create a hidden labyrinth underneath the streets and buildings.
