My wife and I and our toddler stayed here for one night on Oct 6th and it was great. Wish we could have stayed longer. We had the deluxe suite which consisted of a living room with two single beds and a master bedroom with a bathroom attached. More than enough space and plenty comfortable. The host and her family we very friendly and welcoming and treated us like friends. Her kids even took our son to play in the garden and entertained him. He loved it. As for the location, the view from the terrace of the B&B was spectacular. I could have stayed and watched it all day long. Breakfast was a nice selection of homemade cakes and bread and hot drinks. There were also eggs, cheese and coldcuts. To get into Orvieto itself is a short walk up a steep hill. You have to watch out for the cars and it was difficult with a stroller. Not sure that there would be a better way to do it unless the commune added a footpath for pedestrians. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend B&B Chiara...

I had higher hopes for breakfast but it was very basic, with the hostess serving a piece of breakfast sweet tart, a slice or two of bread, cheese and ham, softboiled egg and a small thing of yogurt. And coffee to order. I left hungry. Perhaps I should've asked for more but nothing was offered, and I didnt want...
