One of the region's best-known country hotels occupies a 12th-century monastery. Vaulted ceilings and exposed stone walls establish the rustic elegance in the guest rooms, which have beamed ceilings and polished terra-cotta floors covered with rugs. The rolling park around the hotel provides wonderful views of the valley. It's 4 km (2½ mi) south of Orvieto. Pros: Elegant atmosphere, fine views. Cons: Slightly overpriced, need a car to get around.
