Pitigliano

Pitigliano is one of the most spectacular villages in Tuscany, in the province of Grosseto: its houses seem to grow straight out of the tufa cliff on which it stands, suspended above the river valleys. Inhabited since Etruscan times, the town preserves a medieval historic centre of alleys, archways and cellars carved into the rock, and is known as "Little Jerusalem" for its historic Jewish community, which left behind a synagogue and a quarter of its own. Around the village wind the Vie Cave, ancient paths cut into the tufa by the Etruscans that link the plateaus to the valleys: they can be explored on foot along a circular route that takes in the via cava di San Giuseppe, the via cava di Fratenuti, the longest, and the via cava della Madonna delle Grazie. Not far away are Sorano, Sovana, Lake Bolsena and the thermal springs of the Maremma, while in winter the ski slopes of Monte Amiata are within easy reach. A unique place for anyone seeking a home with character in the Tuscan Maremma. Le Case di Reno accompanies you from your first viewing all the way to the signing of the deed.
