La Magnolia

Upon arrival we got a shock to see the steep flight of stairs and the dark entrance hall. There was no mention of that anywhere. Katerina did help us up with the (light) luggage but we still had to negotiate the steep stairs a few times. The place is dark and creepy smelling of some sort of air freshener or incense, and took some time to get used to. However, the room was very comfortable and looked clean.||Breakfast is in their cafe downstairs, with beggars/peddlers walking in and out and harassing us. Nothing to commend.||Immediately upon arrival I informed Serena that we wished to cancel the second night, which is perfectly legitimate and in keeping with the terms offered by Booking.com. She washed her hands of the affair and said only Booking.com can help there. The problem is that Booking.com had charged our card a few days before and they are no where to be found either. So that's goodbye to the 108 euro for that night. Be warned, don't ever let Booking.com charge your card. If you are not allowed to pay at the accommodation, don't book it.||Personally, I think the place is way over rated. |I found on this trip to Italy that a number of places are highly over rated and I wonder how come. Are guests swayed by the extreme sweetness of the proprietor or are the posts recruited/

We are finishing up our stay at La Magnolia in the centre of Orvieto.Serena has been|An excellent host. Our room was ready as soon as we arrived with keys in the door and ready to go. Serena was always very helpful and responded to questions quickly. Rooms are very clean. We had a small kitchen and eating area with plates and utensils. Restaurants, bars, groceries are all at your doorstep. The travel information office is directly in front of the duomo so it’s very easy if you have any questions. Breakfast was excellent at the bar directly attached to the building where the rooms are. Orvieto is a lovely place to visit.

We just had a lovely visit to Orvieto and stayed at this fabulous B & B. It’s in a perfect location for touring Orvieto. So many places to eat at your doorstep. It is very clean and breakfast downstairs at the bar was great with excellent selection of breakfast sweets, meats, fruit and coffee. Would stay again.

This is a wonderful establishment just a few steps from the Duomo piazza in the charming medieval town of Orvieto. This was our favorite place that we stayed on our whole 12 day trip!||There are B&B rooms that come with breakfast, and at least one apartment that doesn’t but they offer a discount at the cafe next door. We stayed in a spacious apartment with a partial town view from the large balcony. Only one night but we wish we could have stayed longer and would next time! ||Third floor walk up unit, but hey you can work off your pasta and gelato climbing the stairs! Fully equipped kitchen, although make sure to bring your own coffee or tea! Wonderfully updated large modern bathroom up a small flight of stairs, and we loved the large shower and decor!||Large living room. Three dining areas including living area, kitchen and the balcony table too. Perfect if you need a little workspace, and decent WiFi. Good sized bedroom with comfortable double bed and armoire for storage.||The host/proprietor Serena was lovely, great communication and it was a very reasonable price for such an amazing room. Just sorry we were not able to stay longer. Would use Orvieto as a home base next time instead of Florence, in part because of this terrific lodging option!

We had booked to stay three nights at B&B La Magnolia in September but Serena contacted us the day before our arrival that we could not since she had a guest there who was very sick with Covid. She very graciously took it upon herself to find other accommodations for us during our stay in Orvieto. She worked out all of the details and were in constant communication with us while we were in Orvieto. Thank you so much, Serena!

La Magnolia is a small B n B in the heart of Orvieto. Just a short walk from the Doumo, it is in a perfect place to walk and experience Orvieto. Our room was super clean and nicely furnished. Serena was a fantastic host and even helped us out with reservations at some fantastic restaurants. The street was quiet at night and we kept our window open. We had a fantastic stay. A few notes. It is a good story and a half walk up to the rooms. And the room where we stayed did not have air-conditioning. I heard the front rooms did. The breakfast was downstairs at the family owned restaurant. And while the breakfast was not that extensive in selections, it was plenty adequate with a selection of meat, bread, yogurt, coffee juice and some pastries. We loved it and if we ever come back to Orvieto this would be our first choice. If you are looking for a smaller, friendly place that is definitely not like a standard hotel, this is the place...

B & B in Orvieto just near the Duomo Good sized room & bathroom for 2 - we had twin beds - mother daughter- host Serena was very welcoming - breakfast included downstairs in cafe next door - would definitely recommend

This place is great. The owner Serena is very nice and welcoming! Clean rooms and great location. It is right on the main tourist avenue, so can be noisy at night with the window open. Suggest asking for rooms in the back. The only negative was the breakfast bar. The owner is very unwelcoming to tourists.
