Nearby is also the volcanic perch of Orvieto. Like Viterbo, it has a rich Etruscan and Medieval history. It also boasts strong ties to the Vatican. Underneath Orvieto there are caves, wells and tunnels that pock the volcanic tufa rock. The large Gothic Duomo gives us clues of yesterday’s grandeur, while artisans and small shops allow us to discover what makes Orvieto thrive today.
The art and chocolate of Perugia will dominate another day. Its city limits were completely contained in the medieval city walls until after World War II. With a bustling university, the mixture of students, art and chocolate create a lively atmosphere. Perugia
For those less inclined to quilt, there is poolside time, country walks and a fine classical and jazz music library in the castle.
