Sorano, Tuscany with Italy Vacation Specialists

Overview

Discover Sorano: Private Tours, Experiences & Custom Travel

Sorano is a beautiful town set deep within the hills of Tuscany's Maremma region only 140 km north from Rome.  The town is characterized by a maze of pretty alleys, courts, ashlar portals, external staircases, loggias and cellars excavated into the tuff where, in the past, the locals made their grape harvests.  The ancient cellars in Sorano are particularly interesting and some of them have been carefully restored and made accessible to visitors. 

Although the town is small, there is so much to see  including the imposing Fortezza Orsini, which is a stunning fortified medieval castle, enlarged by the noble Orsini around the first half of the XVI century. The whole complex is used as Museum of the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

If you are keen on ecclesiastic monuments, you wont' be disappointed by the three main churches:

  • Collegiata di San Niccolò, with medieval origins, preserves precious works of art that cover a long period from the late Middle Ages to the XIX century;
  • Chapel of Madonna del Borgo, lovely small church located in via del Cimitorio;
  • Church of St Rocco, Romanesque building at one nave located into the homonym district;
  • The Jewish ghetto is a very well kept fascinating area dating back to 1619, as instituted by the noble family of Medici.


The Maremma region in Tuscany is a fascinating place to explore with many incredible wineries, towns, coastlines and spas.  It is best explored with local guides and drivers who really know this area.  To learn more about what we do here in Italy, get in touch with the experts today:
