Nice stop on the way from Sorrento to Florence

Will be driving from Sorrento to our vacation rental just outside Florence on a Saturday. It's about a 5 hours drive and we'd like to break it up a bit without getting too far away from the A1. Possibly on the stretch between Rome and entering Tuscany.

Would Orvieto be a good stop for an hour or two? Not too far from the highway? Or would you suggest something else? We will stay in Tuscany for a week so we will see places like Siena on daytrips but won't travel much further south than that during that week.

I love Orvieto and think it would make a fantastic stop. And if you have the time and the energy, it is not far from Civita which is a delight.
