I would like to recommend Ripa Medici B&B in Orvieto, in Umbria about an hour north of Rome. Sabrina, the owner, made our stay the absolute best among anywhere else in all of our time in Italy. When we had a bit of trouble finding the place, she offered to meet us at the top of the funicular and escort... more

We have just returned from a month long visit to Italy and we spent 3 nights at Ripa Medici B&B. It was our favorite place among the many apts, B&Bs and hotels where we stayed. Sabrina is an outstanding hostess who goes out of her way to welcome her guests. We arrived to wonderful baked goods. She directed us to... more

Wow, what a memory to take home after 6 weeks in Italy. Ripa Medici is the most fabulous B+B, we wish our own home was as good as this. Brand new, beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean, a panoramic view of the surrounding hills from the windows .... and so close to the "centro" in Orvietto!! All this is only surpassed by... more

We will never forget our time in Orvieto! If you want to actually not feel like a tourist, this is the place to stay. While I really liked all of our accomodations throughout Italy, this was our favorite. We didn't actually stay at Ripa Medici, but I will say that everyone's reviews are right on the money. Sabrina is very... more

The B&B Ripa Medici was a piece of paradise for us. It has two bedrooms with separate ensuite bathrooms and an adjoining dining/sitting room and kitchen. The B&B is exceptionally clean and well appointed... the owners live across the laneway and are always available. The bathrooms were huge and modern and ours had a washing machine that we were allowed... more

We needed to book a room at the last minute, and this B and B was a piece of luck and a little slice of heaven perched high up on the walls of the city, looking over the valley. It's spotlessly clean, the owners are wonderfully friendly and helpful, there's a view of the whole valley, and it is quiet,... more

Ripa Medici in Orvieto is the perfect place to stay in Italy. Sabrina is an excellent hostess and the b and b is clean, beautiful and has the most amazing view from the windows. I would highly recommend staying at Ripa Medici and definately stay more than one night. I visited my daughter while she was studying abroad and stayed... more

We arrived in Sabrina's apartment late in the afternoon, after a long day of travel from the United States. She was warm, inviting, gracious and a true hostess. She spent an hour telling us all about this great apartment, what to see and do in the area, and answering all our questions. Her suggestions were right on- from which towns... more

It's a glorious 2 bedroom apartment with 2 full bathrooms off of each bedroom. Once bathroom even has a washer. The bedrooms are bright and airy - each with the most spectacular view of the Umbrian countryside that I have ever seen in my life! The living room has 2 small tables, which we used to eat lunch from a... more
