Our 3rd stay was at the stunning Palazzo Misciattelli. This 3 apartment residence, is truly a 5 star hotel experience with all the comforts of being in a apartment space, exclusively for ages 12 and over.
Arrigo and Ellen Misciattelli Bernardini, instantly make you feel as you are a guest in their home. Attention to every detail, personal touches everywhere, from the hand sewn & embroidered Egyptian cotton sheets made in Orvieto to the fresh flowers
An aristocratic family rooted in Umbria for centuries, including Pope Leo Xll.
As dual American and Italian citizens, with deep roots in Orvieto, they truly understand the expectations of international guests and they check off every box beautifully!
Ellen & Arrigo arranged a fabulous tour of Orvieto with of course the Duomo being the highlight, fantastic meals all around Orvieto. You can visit & buy olive oil from their family grove or be sure to try the homemade w**e, Arrigo’s Nonna’s recipe. Maybe just stay awhile in their garden and pick up a copy of Ellen’s published book. All of it will leave you feeling refreshed, relaxed and very much taken care of.
Call me on this, I truly can’t wait to get back! You will love this Palazzo & your hosts! Thank you Waterstone for this incredible stay and to Ellen & Arrigo, Grazie Mille, until we meet again!
