About Palazzo Petrvs
- The 16th-century palazzo takes its name from wealthy notary Petrus Facienus, whose name is still carved as 'PETRVS FACENIVS' into the window and door architraves.
- The long-abandoned building's restoration stripped away 19th-century alterations to reveal original frescoes, stone portals, and Renaissance fireplaces before opening as a hotel in March 2024, and with just nine rooms across three floors, its restaurant occupies an adjoining former church.
History
Palazzo Petrvs is a 16th-century palazzo in the heart of Orvieto, Umbria, steps from the striped Gothic Duomo. It once belonged to the wealthy 16th-century notary Petrus Facienus, whose name — carved as 'PETRVS FACENIVS' on the window and door architraves — gives the hotel its name.
Long abandoned, the building was restored for owner Raffaele Tysserand by the Naples architect Giuliano Andrea Dell'Uva and opened as a five-star hotel in March 2024. The work stripped away 19th-century alterations to reveal frescoes, stone portals, coffered ceilings and Renaissance fireplaces; there are just nine rooms and suites over three floors, with a restaurant set in an adjoining former church.
