The hotel situation in Orvieto is pretty grim. Most inns are of a consistently bland modern motel style, and the price doesn't come close to justifying the accommodations. The more pleasant choices are profiled below. You might also want to try the Hotel Aquila Bianca, Via Garibaldi 13 (tel. 0763-341-246 or 0763-342-271; fax 0763-342-273; www.argoweb.it/hotel_aquilabianca), a modernized 19th-century palace whose 101€ ($131) doubles are modern and comfortable, with little to displease but little to excite.
Orvieto Promotion, associated with the local travel agency Effe & G Viaggi, Piazza Fracassini 4 (tel. 0763-344-666; fax 0763-343-943; effegiviaggi@effegiviaggi.it), will help with hotel reservations free of charge if the following hotels are full.
