Thanks for all the help & recommendations on Siena, I am now down to two B&Bs in Orvieto.

B&B Valentina & B&B Michelangeli--price is the same, so it's hard to choose. Any comments or thoughts would be much appreciated.

Also, looking for any experience or ideas about getting to Sovana for a day trip from Orvieto.

Don't know if I'm too late, but here goes:

I've been to Sovana several times, it's easy to find by car. From Orvieto it's maybe an hour to an hour and a half drive. This is one of the tiniest towns of all, really just one main street, you can walk the enire town in no time. Fabulous lunch!

Kris,

I remember a very old trip report in which the Fodorite stayed at B&B Valentina and loved it. Long ago, but you might try a search using the box above.

Our stay was at Palazzo Piccolomini and we were very happy with it.

Buon viaggio!

Kris,
I have stayed in B&B Valentina and loved it.

Since you are going to Sovana, there are two very interesting little towns nearby: Sorano and Pitigliano. The road from Sovana coming into Sorano has these great cliffs with the Etruscan caves. Pitigliano is livlier than the other two, set on a cliff.
