Visit The Maremma With Her Little Ancient Villages

Tired of the mainstream hustle and bustle when you go on holidays? The constant shoving and pushing and queuing up to get a glimpse of some tourist attraction only to be pushed aside by the people behind you without even having a chance to take it in properly?

Then maybe it's time to look at a holiday in a quieter area, a holiday where you can relax beside a pool, take in the glorious scenery and sun and also maybe take a trip into a not so full of tourists spot and admire the historical buildings and artifacts of a more rural Italian countryside.

The two villages of Sorano and Pitigliano are not to be missed and neither is the beautiful area of Maremma in south-western Tuscany. In fact, if you decide to stay in Maremma, you can take in the wonderful Medieval culture of the area while taking day trips to these 2 wonderful little villages.

Enjoy A Day Of Touring Around Pitigliano

Spend a delightful day of tourist exploration in the charming town of Pitigliano in the Maremma area of Southern Tuscany. Known as ‘Little Jerusalem’, this walled hilltop town is a beautiful sight to behold and is filled with historical and cultural heritage.

Stay in a beautiful vacation rental in Grosseto and enjoy all this scenic tourist area has to offer!

The Jewish roots of Pitigliano first grew in the early 16th century when many Jews moved out from the nearby region of Latium. The Roman Papal States here were anti- Semitic which drove the population out into more peaceful parts of Italy.

The skilfully carved and constructed buildings of Pitigliano are rooted in the extremely malleable volcanic rock of the hill upon which it is built. In fact, this soft tufu rock was carved out to create a clever water transport system beneath the town.

Sfratti: A Tasty Biscuit With A Sad Past From Pitigliano

There are lots of different pastries and sweets that are produced in Tuscany and that typical of her towns and cities. This is particularly true of festive treats like Pienza's panforte and Siena's penpepato.

Shaped like a stick, they are made of a tube layer of pastry filled with a delicious mix of honey, candied orange, walnuts and nutmeg. Just as this is a well-kept secret and unique traditional treat for international tourists, the town, too, is an underrated and charming gem.
