orvieto apartments

Perched on top of a tufaceous rock plateau, the city of Orvieto rises out of the valley below like an island from the sea. Millions of years ago a sea did in fact cover the area, now wooded, where the river Paglia runs. Visitors can reach the old town centre either by leaving their car below and taking the funicular lift up or by using the ingenious system of lifts and escalators that have been dug out of the rock at Campo della Fiera.
