I haven't been to Orvieto since my children were young, but I have always been entranced by the cathedral, and have very happy memories of lunches in a lovely restaurant very close by. And of taking the children on a boat on trasimeno. Thank you, as always!
I loved Orvieto when I visited many years ago, and until recently, the closest I've been to getting back there was a bottle of Orvieto Classico. But you have now brought its beauty back to me. Thank you!
This was so lovely Jodi and reminded me of our visit some year ago now to Orvieto. We spent a couple of weeks walking from Orvieto to the coast and ended up at Porto Ercole. Orvieto remains one of my favourite places in Italy and your writing and photos bought back lots of memories.
Thank you so much, Julia! What a lovely trip - I'm a little jealous, I've been thinking about doing a long-distance walk for years now and haven't worked up the nerve yet. I bet it was beautiful!!
We went in autumn which was the ideal time. And it was the type of walking where someone else takes your bags to the next destination - I can highly recommend it!
This made me nostalgic for the year I spent in Cortona. As summer gave way to autumn, the light and the air changed; cozy ribollita soup started showing up on menus, a thick fog crawled up the hill each morning, and the air was occasionally permeated with distant gunshots as wild boar season opened. And then there were the cooking smells, people walking down the street hauling bushels of just-picked olives, and smoke coming from chimneys.
Gracie millie❣️Orvieto is one of my favorite towns in Italy. You’ve captured it well in your writing, brava!
Orvieto is such a charming little town! This brought back so many lovely memories of my visit. 😊

Well, that sounds like the best kind of walk!

Ah, lucky you! Cortona is such a lovely little town! ❤️
