I've never stayed in Orvieto, but I've heard good things about Locanda Palazzone and Palazzo Petrus.

I visited Orvieto many years ago, it was such a quaint and beautiful town - I have no plans to go back to Italy in the near future, but I’d return to Umbria in a heartbeat if the opportunity arises!

Orvieto might be my favorite city in Umbria, but there's a lot to see in the region!

a great day trip from Rome, or if you are driving north from Rome one of the stops to make after Viterbo

Definitely! Personally I think Orvieto is more charming than Viterbo.
