A beautiful scene from entrance of the city

Carl Burroughs

Sorano : One guide books says it is grey and boring, another says it is a great town. We just drove by, but I am sure it is worth a visit. It looked beautiful.

Sovana : Fabulous small town with two good churches. The one in the center of town has excellent stone carvings and bits of frescoes. Many stores, restaurants and caffés - but it is a very small town. You park on the edge of town and walk in. See the Etruscan tombs west of Sovana, just off the highway.

Saturnia: Drive on to Saturnia and have lunch in our favorite restaurant, I Due Cippi da Michele or one of the other fine restaurants here. This town is very upscale and beautiful. It is also small. There is an original Roman arch and a bit of old Roman road at the edge of the town. The famous Saturnia spa and hot springs are just down the road.
