An unforgettable and exciting, out by mass tourism and without straying too far from home? Among the provinces of Viterbo and Grosseto Maremma is a secret and fascinating angle between culture, relaxation and nature. From the countryside to the hills, natural parks to the spa, not far from the lake and the beautiful villages between sea and suspended in time, inside the Maremma is perfect for a long stay Total full of plein air, or even for a simple weekend out of town along quiet streets and lonely.
From the Lamone to Pitigliano
It starts from Farnese, a small village not far from the enchanting Lake Bolsena (where a bath is a must) and was used as a set for the Pinocchio Comencini. Its territory is situated the natural reserve of La Selva Lamone, the protection of a wild lowland forest, a myriad of volcanic rocks scattered in the undergrowth or stacked to form real hills (the "Murgia"), and easy to lose orientation, also near the mysterious Selva, until the nineteenth century den bandits (including the famous Tiburzi), immersed in a surreal silence lie the ruins of the seventeenth-century ghost town of Castro, who deserve a detour. The route takes in the beautiful countryside of Tuscia, crossing the border of Tuscany and quickly leads to Pitigliano, who suddenly appears on his spectacularly long spur of tufa. Extraordinary the interest of the town, both for the wealth of Etruscan archaeological sites scattered around (do not miss the picturesque "Vie Cave") and for welcoming the suggestion of the same old town with its monuments, the Jewish ghetto, the features many shops and premises suitable for a nice stop food and wine.
Sorano and Sovana
we head towards Sorano, through a landscape increasingly wild and romantic, through forests, meadows and reddish rocks. The village of Sorano is one of the most beautiful of the Maremma and its major limitation regarding at Pitigliano adds a special charm: the tourists are few and the more intimate atmosphere, but the visit of the country, dominated by the imposing Masso Leopold , will not disappoint, fantastic views over the surrounding valleys, canyons and plateaus where moves by alternating fields and impenetrable forests of the Mediterranean. We now return to the car, continuing to enjoy - always on the road - the charm of this rugged landscape and wide horizons. We come then to the tiny village of Sovana, medieval jewel, where modernity with its daily horrors never entered: the visit may seem short, but in a space so small that we discover a surprising concentration of buildings of artistic and architectural that invites you to taste with this lovely quiet village.
A bath at the Terme di Saturnia
leave reluctantly Sovana (which together form the Pitigliano and Sorano Archaeological Park City Tuff ) and continue at a time of Saturnia, going up the magnificent Fiora valley, one of the best intact and in Italy. Between curves exhausting but panoramic, the wait will be rewarded by the achievement of final destination of our journey: the Terme di Saturnia. The complex takes its name from the nearby medieval town perched on a hill, and is divided into a private facility for a fee and in an area of \u200b\u200bfree access, swimming pools formed by waterfalls and natural springs at the foot of an old abandoned mill. The show is great and really refreshing bath: perfect ending for this little journey of discovery of a portion of our country so wonderful.
