One word: WOW! Surely among the best places I have stayed recently. And in a gorgeous town, Orvieto. The hotel is in a 14th century building and my room featured a beautiful set of desk and dressers. We dealt with Maria Silvana, the mother of the owner Beatrice. The building is on a piazza with several restaurants and bars. Some frescos in the dining room date from the 14th century. Quite frankly, I would give it a 10/10.

Cutest town! Adorable B&B. The owner, her husband, and son were excellent hosts and very kind. Location was perfect in the middle of town. Steps from coffee, restaurants, shops and a beautiful church. The rooms were large, beds comfortable, bathrooms spacious and everything was clean and lots of attention to detail making you feel welcome and at home.

B&B La Soffita
Overall good experience. We were given room at the top thus lots of steps to climb. We were also told that breakfast service stopped from October, given the name b&b, and all the good comments about breakfast, we were a bit put off. Otherwise the location is very central and facilities are clean.

I thank you for your review and I am sorry if you are a little disappointed because we no longer serve breakfast. On the other hand, since October we have become Guest Houses (the new name also appears on Expedia) and even your reservation clearly stated that breakfast was not included

Owner Maria Silvana was so friendly & helpful. Even though her English was less than perfect and our Italian very poor, we had a delightful chat.

Great Value and perfect location in Orvieto
The location of this B&B is perfect. The room was spacious (located in a very old building, which was really cool). The breakfast isn't the greatest, but with a few changes (better Coffee), it could be really good. For the price, this is the best value in Orvieto. You walk out of the building and are right in one of the main squares with easy walks to everything. There is a farmers market twice a week in the square and there are good restaurants (go to the Osteria across from the building - it's great) 100 Ft away with a market next store for convenient late night snacks, waters, drinks, etc.

Great room for the price and location
The room was a little hard to find since there was no hotel sign and not obvious. It is in Piazza Del Popolo, next to a pizza shop. The location is great. There was a band Friday night, which isn't typical we were told and we woke up to an out-door market on Saturday. The host was super sweet and the room was charming and clean. The breakfast was basic, but for the price, it was enough and would stay there again. We are really glad we planned a day and a half in Orvieto since there was much more to see and do than we had realized.

Nice hotel near good restaurants and shopping
Beatrice and her mother were very nice. We were greeted promptly on our arrival. The room was clean and cozy and the breakfast was simple, but quite adequate. The only problem we had was a headboard on the bed that squeaked when we moved. I intended to let them know about it prior to checking out, but forgot. They seem the type who would want to know of any problem.

Orvieto charm
This is a great little place. Really old and authentic. The owner is a lovely woman who is kind and helpful. She does not want to be paid with a credit card, so maybe pay ahead or make sure you have cash to pay her. If you do not like physical activity, beware there are many stairs.

Lovely B&B, gracious service
Fantastic B&B; outstanding & gracious service. Unlike in the US, most B&B owners don’t live on premises; so providing an ETA is for good reason. En route from Calabria it became clear that we would be late for 6pm ETA. Our driver called to amend the time; then, we were later still. But, when Beatrice greeted us, you would never have guessed that she had been the least inconvenienced. There were lots of stairs (as with many B&B’s in Italy), but they were not as steep or strenuous as most we’ve encountered. And, Beatrice was adamant that she carry the luggage. Despite our tardiness (830pm) Beatrice never acted rushed while showing us the room & premises, telling us about the town or making restaurant recommendations. Our room was immaculate, with every comfort (ceiling fan, heater, a/c, wi-fi). It was lovely with exposed beams, stone fireplace, sky light, table with kettle and wardrobe with extra blankets. The linens were spotless, and felt very luxurious. The beds very comfy. The breakfast room was bright & airy; breakfast was perfectly adequate, with a wide variety of choices. The location was ideal, walking distance from everything, including public transport. Upon departure, my mom (80) was feeling unwell and needing a cab to the train, rather than bus & funicular. Instead, Beatrice quickly offered to drive us, as gracious upon our leaving as upon our arriving. I plan to return to B&B La Soffitta for a longer stay.

Convenient place to visit Orvieto.
The owner was pleasant and friendly. The room was comfortable and clean and the breakfast of good quality, but not so diversified. Our room was on the third floor, and there was only a narrow spiral staircase (no lift) and if you have heavy bags (our case) this is a big inconvenience.

Beautiful room, comfortable stay
This was our favorite hotel/B&B in Italy, and we wished we could have stayed longer than 1 night! We had the quadruple room, and it was so clean and comfortable. It included a kitchenette and small table which we didn't use much due to our short stay, but this would have been a perfect room for a week long stay in Orvieto. The owner was lovely and very accommodating when we had to pay with a credit card due to issues with the local ATM. The location was central and perfect for exploring Orvieto. I would highly recommend this hotel.

great room overlooking the Piazza del popolo
We greatly enjoyed our stay in Orvieto at La Soffitta. The room was spacious, it looked directly over the square - albeit through a pretty teeny window. The bed was good, the shower was large enough (by Italian standards). Be prepared for the stairs - you will be carrying your luggage up 3 flights! Our only complaint - their website promised wifi but the service was impossibly slow and the staff, upon being notified, showed no concern. I needed the internet for work, and so was not pleased to find that the place I booked because they had wifi did not in fact have it. We ended up in the internet cafe around the block. It is a great location.

Interesting
Centrally located in historic Orvietto. A bit difficult to find even with GPS. Parking scarce. Room was nice size, bed comfortable. Internet not available 8:00 PM to 9:00 AM which was problematic for us planning our tout through Tuscany. Hostess greated us and seemed very nice however we didn't see her again until we checked out, didn't know where to find her to ask some questions about Orvietto and about Internet connection. Towels could do with an upgrade - they resembled table linens. A bar of soap for the shower would have been appreciated. Located in a very interesting building in a vibrant neighbourhood with no shortage of restaurants and shops.

Maria Silvana could not have been more hospitable. We did have trouble finding the B&B with the GPS. We suggest you get actual GPS coordinates for the entrance which is in the Piazza del Popolo between a Pizzeria and Tobacco shop. Our room was on the 4th floor and there is no elevator. Be prepared to carry your bags. Also parking can be an issue but Maria got us secured parking at a friend's for 10 euros a day which was well worth it. The B&BS could not have been more charming!! One thing was there was no soap for the shower so bring your own. The town is very interesting. The Cathedral was lovely and the tour of the caves was very interesting. A must is a side trip to Civita, a medieval village about 20 kilometers away. You have to walk across a steep pedestrian bridge bur it is definitely worthwhile. Another side trip is Las Cascatas delle Marmore which is a waterfall. It is part of a hydroelectric system where they discharge water between 4 & 5 daily.
