Two days in Umbria in September. Orvieto, Perugia or Gubbio? Which hotel? Does anyone know Castello dell Oscano outside of Perugia? <BR>Thanks.

We toured Tuscany/Umbria last fall, and Orvieto was one of the high spots.We stayed at Hotel Vergilio on the square across from the dazzeling Duomo-lots of shops and resturants nearby.

My wife and I stayed at La Badia in Orvieto. Converted 700 year old monastary. <BR> <BR>Best hotel we had stayed at during our trip. On a small hill side, with their own vineyard and olive trees. Beautiful views of Orvieto. <BR> <BR>Highly recommended

No reason you can't see all three towns in two days, the drive is so pretty. For hotel, I like La Rosetta near the center of Perugia. But what about Assisi?

John, do you have a web address for La Badia? Telephone/fax numbers? Price range?

The food at La Rosetta in Perugia has to be some of the best hotel food I have ever had. The courtyard on a sunny September afternoon will be great.I have stayed there many times in the past...the staff is very pleasant. The rooms range from beautiful to average to downright funky. I would prefer this to a location outside the city. <BR> <BR>I also have stayed at La Badia in Orvieto and it was a very lovely experience. You cannot walk into the city as it is on the next hill over, but the view is very beautiful and they have a swimming pool. <BR> <BR>Why not spend one day in Perugia and the next day in Orvieto?
