Like hill towns? Mysterious ancient ruins? Good food? Religious intrigue? Horse riding and Tennis? Well then, come to Pitigliano, in the Marremma area of Tuscany.
The rocky area around Pitigliano is scarred with what are believed by some to be Etruscan roads (or water channels) as well as caves. Pitigliano itself sits majestically upon a butte, and is home to a once-flourishing Jewish community fleeing from Rome during Counterreformation persecutions.
Yes, there are tons of interesting ways to spend your time around Pitigliano. A week isn’t too long to stay, especially if your family likes casual walking and exploring ancient sites. Why not make your vacation rental a historic site as well? Torrepiena, shown over there to the left, was once a lookout tower that’s been lovingly restored as a Tuscany vacation rental.
Visit the Orsini Fortress, walk among the Etruscan ruins around Sorano and Sovana, and take in the waters of spa town Terme di Saturnia. Then go home to a chilled glass of Bianco di Pitigliano DOC.
