Casa rurale in strada Provinciale Pitigliano - Santa Fiora, Santa Fiora

This is inland Maremma on the tuff country around the Fiora valley, with cultivated hills, woods and ravines rather than a plain. The Albegna and Fiora river valleys shape the area. Semproniano is close to the inland tuff towns of Pitigliano and Sorano, both with extensive historic centres cut into volcanic rock. Saturnia and the thermal springs of Cascate del Mulino are within the local area. Mount Amiata rises to the northeast and is the main mountain mass seen in this part of southern Tuscany, but the ski lifts are on Amiata, roughly an hour away, so they are outside the immediate landscape. The wider area is known for tuff settlements, thermal waters, olive groves and inland Maremma countryside.
