Staying in the heart of the Citadel means experiencing Pitigliano on foot while easily reaching villages, thermal spas and unique landscapes. Each itinerary can become a different kind of day: culture, relaxation, trekking, good food or the sea.

Pitigliano

The village carved into tuff stone

Known as the "Little Jerusalem", Pitigliano is one of Tuscany's most spectacular villages. Its houses seem to rise directly from the tuff cliff, creating a unique and unmistakable skyline.

Walking through the historic centre means exploring narrow alleys, arches, charming squares, wine cellars carved into the rock and breathtaking viewpoints over the valley. From here you can easily reach the Cathedral, the Medici Aqueduct, the Jewish Quarter and the ancient Vie Cave.

Sovana

A charming medieval gem

Sovana is a peaceful medieval village, perfect for those who enjoy strolling slowly through history, stone streets and an authentic atmosphere. Piazza del Pretorio, the Cathedral and the Aldobrandeschi Fortress tell the story of its remarkable past.

The surrounding area is also home to important Etruscan archaeological sites, including the Necropolis and the famous Ildebranda Tomb, making it an ideal destination to combine history, archaeology and nature.

Saturnia Thermal Springs

Relax among thermal waters and nature

The Saturnia Thermal Springs are one of the best-known destinations in the Tuscan Maremma. Their warm waters and beautiful natural setting make them perfect for a day dedicated to wellness and relaxation.

After visiting Pitigliano and the tuff villages, Saturnia is the perfect place to slow down and enjoy a peaceful experience surrounded by the Tuscan countryside.

Lake Bolsena

Water, sunsets and lakeside villages

Lake Bolsena offers the perfect change of scenery, with beaches, lakeside promenades, restaurants and romantic sunset views. It is an ideal destination for a relaxing day, especially during the warmer months.

Monte Amiata

Nature, hiking and mountain landscapes

Monte Amiata is the perfect destination for those who want to combine historic villages and thermal spas with a day surrounded by nature. Forests, hiking trails and panoramic views make it attractive in every season.
