Anyone arriving by train into Orvieto will see this medieval town sat high on a cliff in the middle of stunning Umbrian landscape. And with one glance at the lavish Gothic cathedral, one sip of delicious Orvieto Classico, even one foot in the mysterious underground caverns, you'll see why this is one of Italy's most precious treasures. The town isn't big, but down cobbled streets, through crumbling stone arches and under pretty painted window boxes you'll find yourself haggling in markets, admiring hand-made ceramics, or simply soaking up the sun outside one of many enotecas, or wine bars. And, before heading down that hill again, you can't fail to be impressed by the magnificent views of il cuore verde dell'Italia - the green heart of Italy - spreading in all directions around.
