Fausto was great & the place was really nice. Itâs a hike into the village & the traffic is crazy!! I donât think itâs the perfect location for seniors or children but a lovely stay none the less!
Thank you so much! My Hosts: Fausto e Rosaria were lovely, kind and very helpful.The 'Casa Serafina' provides a classic environment of ancient Orvieto period - as one can see in the photos. Each piece of orginal art and furniture has an amazing story to it. Like staying in a museum, also very homely.
Easy access for car, and parking undercover directly underneath the Casa. I had no car, I came by train. I am so glad I did, as I went on many refreshing walks all around. The transport was excellent: a Funicular, local Buses every 20 mins, and the Train. And huge escalators automatic, just a short walk up the road, to take one to Orvieto old village - so easy.
The kitchen in the Casa: well equipped. I purchased much local produce and enjoyed some excellent flavours. And save money, by cooking my main meal at the Casa. Also enjoyed meeting local people - so hospitable and friendly.
A true Orvieto cultural experience, with character and charm. Is not a boring hotel. it's a home.
Struttura vicino alle scale mobili e ascensori, accessoriata di tutto addirittura una macchina del caffĂš con cialde, aria condizionata che serve poco per appartamento fresco, posto auto coperto, addirittura un biliardo, proprietario gentilissimo, ci ha fornito di un sacco di piantine, ci sono anche un sacco di libri dei luoghi dell'Abruzzo, inoltre omaggiato di olio una bottiglia di vino Ăš un pensierino dell'artigianato locale, tutto perfetto.
Casa Sarafina is a very nicely appointed and attractive apartment. It is located just outside the walls of Orvieto, a 5 or 10 minute climb away from the elevators that take you up to one of the city squares. It is a nice energetic climb for younger folks or for older ones in reasonable shape. One can drive 3 minutes and pay for parking at the site of the elevator. There is parking, tight for two cars but ample for one. One has to be very careful entering the street from the garage, however.
Fausto, the owner, has reasonably good English. He is willing to help and is enthusiastic about the Etruscan remains all around the area. He has prepared a nice list of restaurants that he says locals like. His Italian descriptions of the area display thorough knowledge. His English versions are not linguistically perfect but helpfu.
Very nice place for the money..
L'abitazione Ăš a due passi dall'ascensore per la cittĂ , perciĂČ comodissima. E' fornita di ogni necessitĂ ed Ăš molto suggestiva. Unico neo, il traffico rumoroso dovuto alla strada adiacente.
ein sehr angenehmes Feriendomizil fĂŒr unsere Toskanatour - fĂŒhlten uns zu Hause.
Unsere Unterkunft bei Fausto war perfecto fĂŒr und 4. Auch der freundliche Kontakt, vom Schriftverkehr beginnend, war fĂŒr uns sehr angenehm. Die lage und Ausstattung der ferienwohnung haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Danke nochmals

"Sistemazione ideale per una visita a Orvieto e ai paesi limitrofi. La casa Ăš accogliente, ben arredata e comodissima al centro storico dove si arriva facilmente a piedi. Il posto auto al coperto Ăš prezioso. Il proprietario Ăš una persona cortese e disponibile. Consiglio vivamente questa sistemazione."
"Ottimo e meraviglioso appartamento in un contesto veramente affascinante.
La casa Ăš veramente bella e arredata in stile medioevale con un camino a legna stupendo.
Oltre alle cose descritte e visibili nelle foto abbiamo trovato con piacere alcuni pensieri molto graditi (Olio della zona,dolci tipici e macchina del caffĂš con cialde a disposizione gratuita).
Il proprietario ci ha fornito gentilmente indicazioni per il soggiorno e possibili visite in loco.
Graditissima anche la biblioteca con vari libri "turistici" inerenti le caratteristiche di cittadine limitrofe.
Orvieto Ăš da vedere e la consiglio assolutamente per una vacanza di relax arte e cultura.
Grazie di tutto Sig. Fausto Ăš stato un padrone di casa gentile e discreto e un piacere conoscerla."
"Bellissimo alloggio con tutti comfort. A pochi minuti dalle scale mobili e ascensori che portano al centro storico. Propietario gentilissimo. Ci ha anche fatto un omaggio enogastronomico. Noi abbiamo messo la macchina nel posto auto riservato (al coperto) e non l'abbiamo piĂč presa."
"This was a lovely apartment, very close to the elevator up to the town of Orvieto. The apartment was exactly as shown and listed, with good parking and a nice outdoor patio at the base of the town wall. The wood carvings throughout were gorgeous. The owner, Fausto, was very helpful and spoke excellent English."
"Das Haus ist liebevoll und schön eingerichtet, sehr gut ausgestattet und hat eine groĂe Terrasse. Der Vermieter ist Ă€uĂerst diskret und sehr freundlich. Es war fĂŒr ihn selbstverstĂ€ndlich, uns vom Bahnhof abzuholen und wieder zu bringen. Er ĂŒbergab uns Informationsmaterial ĂŒber den wundervollen Ort in auĂerordentlicher Vielfalt und ĂŒberraschte er uns sogar mit Willkommensgeschenken."
"De woning ligt aan een doorgaande weg en heeft een eigen carport onder het terras. Bereikbaarheid goed, al maakt de drukke weg het in- en uitparkeren soms wat lastig. Vanaf de carport bereikt men via twee trappen de woning met eigen terras. Het terras (voorzien van tuinmeubilair) heeft deels een rieten afdak, maar ligt desondanks het grootste deel van de middag in de volle zon. Een parasol (niet aanwezig) zou geen overdaad zijn. Het huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien. O.a. nette keuken met voldoende bestek, glaswerk en serviesgoed. Ruime badkamer met wasmachine. Droogrek; beddengoed en handdoeken aanwezig. Ook zijn er een tv, kluis en aansluiting voor internetgebruik. Verder was het huisje keurig schoon. De eigenaar heeft duidelijk zijn best gedaan met de inrichting de woning een eigen karakter te geven. De eigenaar is trots op Orvieto en omgeving; hij heeft een dikke map met veel informatie samengesteld. Bovendien waren daarnaast vele reisgidsen en boeken in diverse talen in het huisje aanwezig. De eigenaar en zijn vrouw waren zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Bij aankomst stonden er een fles wijn en wat kleine presentjes klaar. Het centrum van Orvieto is vanaf de woning gemakkelijk en snel bereikbaar. Wij hebben er twee weken met veel genoegen doorgebracht en bevelen het van harte aan!!"
