The highly respected 4 star Hotel Palazzo Piccolomini is remarkable for its beautiful palace created for the pontifical family Piccolomini at the end of the 16th century, above of the preexisting medieval buildings.
The Hotel Palazzo Piccolomini has an enchanting position, for Piazza Ranieri is plunged into the historical-artistic charm of the medieval quarter. The palace is within easy reach of Piazza della Repubblica (shopping area) and of the Cathedral and it is near to the modern system of elevators and escalators which from the parking Campo Boario, at the foot of the plateau, take you straight up to Ranieri, in the heart of the old City.
Hotel Palazzo Piccolomini has three suites, twenty-two double rooms and seven single rooms, all with air conditioning, in room bar, security box, facilities and services also equipped for disabled as well as a congress hall, cable/satellite TV room, restaurant, breakfast hall, reading room, cafe', wine-cellar and private parking.
A recent and accurate restoration has given new splendor to the different age-long structures; from refined facade overlooking Piazza Ranieri down to the underground rooms cut into the tufa mass, on which the Etruscan Orvieto rises.
One realizes how history wed to architecture at the Hotel Palazzo Piccolomini, a place where Renaissance, medieval and Etruscan structures can be found.
The masterly restoration has preserved its artistic and historical riches, and yet has not neglected any comfort suited to a high-hotel.
