Taking in Orvieto after a 12-day cruise was a sort of detox before returning home. The town turned out to be a total delight, with a surprisingly grand cathedral, wonderful wines and a chance to explore the Etruscan culture. The hotel was charming and convenient for our non-guided walking tours. Staff at Hotel Corso does not really speak English, but they are very willing to help make arrangements. We never found good food in Orvieto, but perhaps the locals are keeping it for themselves. Loved the 2nd floor patio for unhosted Happy Hour!
