Sorano, Tuscany with Italy Vacation Specialists

Discover Sorano — Private Tours, Experiences & Custom Travel

Overview

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:

“In September of 2018 I brought a group of 12 from Venice to Sicily and organized all of my services with the Italy Vacation Specialists.

“As a travel agent, but also a traveler to Italy, thee is no other company I would recommend than the Italy Vacation Specialists.

“This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there, like in every place”

“In August 2018, my family of four and myself travelled from Vancouver, BC to Rome Italy and spent 3 weeks touring Italy with IVS. This company had come highly recommended by many friends and associates of ours who had used them before and indeed to say they do an outstanding job is an understatement. You can tell while being in Italy that it is one complicated place to run tours in, just by the sh”

“I have traveled to Italy 2x with the IVS for my own pleasure trips and 2x for business with IVS. These guys really pay attention and make your trip go like clockwork. Italy is nuts, just saying! There are so many rules and restrictions now, so we did not want to drive ourselves. Having traveled with them many times and done business on several occasions, most definitely USE this company. They know”
