This 4-star hotel suits people who want to see Orvieto on foot. The property lists family rooms, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a terrace, and the listing is tagged as pet-friendly. Couples, families and dog owners fit well here, once you confirm the pet rules and any fee.
Tight budgets should look at our Budget pick, which cost about €50 less per night. People who are strict about cleaning may also be disappointed, as some guests mention dust and missed spots. If you want the highest guest score in town, our Luxury pick rates higher.
Location and getting around Orvieto
The address is Via Di Piazza Del Popolo 13, in the area the booking provider labels the top-rated part of Orvieto. The location score is 9.6 out of 10.
Orvieto Cathedral is about 0.4 km away, roughly 5 minutes on foot. San Domenico is also about 0.4 km, around 5 minutes. San Giovenale is about 0.5 km, close to 6 minutes. These are straight-line estimates, so the real route through the old streets can take a little longer.
Parking is not listed among the facilities, although guests say staff help with it. If you arrive by car, ask the hotel in advance where to leave it and what it costs.
What guests say
The hotel scores 8.6 out of 10 from 316 guest reviews. On review score alone it placed joint third of the 4 eligible properties in the provider sample.
Guests like the central setting, a short walk from the Duomo and from restaurants. They also praise the staff as friendly and professional, and helpful with luggage and parking.
The main complaint is cleanliness. Most guests find rooms generally tidy, but some reported dust, cobwebs and areas that were missed. It is not the dominant theme, yet it matters at a mid-range rate.
Price and value against our other Orvieto picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults put Grand Hotel Italia at €190 per night, against a sample median of €169.30. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your own dates.

The extra money over the Budget pick buys a 4-star property, a terrace and a breakfast listed as Full English/Irish, American and buffet. Whether breakfast is included in your rate has not been checked.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 4 eligible hotels in Orvieto. Grand Hotel Italia is our Best Value choice: it balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price. It is not the cheapest option.
Its case rests on location. A 9.6 location score, three landmark churches within about 6 minutes on foot and 316 reviews averaging 8.6 make it a dependable middle option.
Before you book
