Palazzo - Edificio in Semproniano

The surroundings are typical southern-Tuscan Maremma highlands: rolling, wooded hills interspersed with olive groves, vineyards and cultivated fields. The local bedrock includes tuff plateaus and cliffs; the tuff towns of Pitigliano, Sorano and Sovana, with Etruscan necropolises carved into the rock, lie within about 15 km. The Fiora river and its valley run through this part of the province and influence local drainage. Manciano is the nearest larger service town, offering shops, weekly markets and municipal services. The landcover is a mix of oak and chestnut woodland, pasture and small-scale agriculture, served by secondary roads and rural tracks. No alpine ski lifts or large lakes are within the immediate 15 km; Monte Amiata and the Tyrrhenian coast lie beyond the local radius.
