I recently spent a night at Casa Selita on my way from Siena to Rome. What a wonderful surprise--After over 2 weeks of travel in Italy, I found myself surrounded by the most beautiful countryside, stayed in lovely rustic, peaceful, clean, lodgings with all the amenities--WIFI, TV, etc. and the most spectacular views. The medieval city is right up the... more

We spent 16 days in France and Italy - finishing our trip with 3 nights at the Casa Selita. It was a wonderful, relaxing conclusion to our trip. We used Casa Selita as a home base for exploring Orvieto and other areas of Umbria. The garden was beautiful, Selita was so welcoming and hospitable. She gave us great advice for... more

What a pleasure. The hosts, the setting below the city, the facilities, the breakfast, the location, etc.., you can't beat it. Walking through the olive groves, the terrific views, even the walk up to the town. You can drive to town, take the bus or walk up a hill and get the escalators; whatever fits your style. It's quiet, clean,... more

Out of our 16 day trip to Italy this was our favorite place. CasaSelita is like staying at your best friends' home in Tuscany. We were greeted by the pudgent smell of purple grapes and lavander. Our room was cozy with a good sized bathroom and a small terrace. The breakfast was a wonderful array of great coffee, breads, cheeses... more

Casa Selita is a perfect location to wile away a few days in Umbria. Tucked away in the shadow of the town which rises above it, the rooms are set in a charming garden where the only sound is the buzzing of insects. We stayed for three nights and wished that it could have been longer. Ennio and Selita are... more

We stayed at Casa Selita after a few days in Rome. It is a perfect getaway from the city. The property is postcard perfect. The location is great for exploring Orvieto and for day trips to other hill towns. Selita, her family and friends are warm, welcoming, know the area very well, and of course speak perfect english. We miss... more

CasaSelita occupies a beautiful setting just below the town of Orvieto- the magnificent Umbrian landscape stretches out before you in every direction. The bed and breakfast is a family farmhouse which has been renovated to accomodate guests. Individual rooms are attractively furnished, with nice bathrooms. Wireless internet is free. The old stone buildings are well-maintained, with smalll terraces and gardens... more

Spent 5 days in Orvieto staying at CasaSelita and loved it. What a beautiful, peaceful setting. It has the unique feature of feeling like you're in the countryside of Umbria yet walking for 5 minutes and popping out on the fabulous hilltop town on Orvieto. The best of both worlds. We loved it and were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary... more

I cannot say enough good things about Casa Selita. The hosts, Selita and Ennio, are wonderfully warm, friendly and hospitable and the B&B itself is simply gorgeous. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is set in front of an olive grove with beautiful views over the hillside and is a short walk to the base of Orvieto's walls, from where... more
