The legacy of the Etruscan civilisation stands out in several aspects which make this city simply unique<\/strong>. Sorano is literally carved out of rock, creating a beautiful combination<\/strong> of natural landscapes, castles and streets which will amaze<\/strong> both local and foreign visitors. Sorano is also the perfect place for a green<\/strong> holiday: discover the best eco-friendly<\/strong> tips to visit this beautiful tuff city in Tuscany<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

1. Take a Stroll in the Very Heart of Sorano and Visit the Fortezza Orsini<\/em><\/h2>\n

Strolling around on foot is simply the most eco-friendly<\/strong> way to visit the very heart of Sorano. The atmosphere of this \u2018borgo\u2019 will simply amaze<\/strong> you. And especially when you witness the beautiful Fortezza Orsini<\/strong>, the stunning Fortress of Sorano.<\/p>\n

Although Sorano has Etruscan<\/strong> roots, its Medieval historic centre and the Orsini Fortress characterise it, representing a perfect example of Renaissance<\/strong> military architecture.<\/p>\n

This architectural beauty dates back to the XII century and houses today the Civic and Archaeological Museum<\/strong> of Sorano. The Orsini Fortress seems to emerge from the tuff too: it integrates perfectly to the surrounding natural<\/strong> environment. This harmonious<\/strong> combination gives rise to a truly breathtaking landscape, which will make your green holiday in Sorano simply unforgettable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. Visit Sorano\u2019s Vie Cave<\/em> in Your Green Holiday: the Excavated Etruscan Roads<\/h2>\n

After strolling around the town and having witnessed its amazing<\/strong> architecture it is quite hard to imagine that Sorano could surprise you with anything more. But it will, and especially when you visit The Vie Cave<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These are ancient Etruscan roads excavated in the tuff<\/strong> which reach up to 25 meters in depth. It is still not clear which was the original use of this engineering work. Yet, they are some of the most stunning<\/strong> and mysterious places to visit in Sorano.<\/p>\n

Strolling along these routes by foot is just magical<\/strong>. In fact, you will have the feeling of being one of the characters of an ancient legend<\/strong> or Etruscan myth. Dizzy walls, mysterious engravings and glittering light<\/strong> effects will make your eco-friendly experience simply unique.<\/p>\n

3. Reach by Foot Montorio Castle<\/em>: the Most Eco-friendly Way to Visit the Medieval Homonymous \u2018borgo\u2019<\/h2>\n

The Montorio Castle seems today a fortified farmhouse<\/strong>. It features an \u2018L\u2019 structure with a tower at its top. The tuff walls are simply amazing<\/strong>, and preserve the medieval essence of the castle despite the subsequent renovations.<\/p>\n

Are you looking for eco-friendly accommodation in Maremma<\/a>? Choose the beautiful eco-friendly organic resort<\/strong> and glamping<\/strong> Sant’Egle in Sorano<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You will find Sant\u2019Egle in an ancient building from the \u2018600.\u00a0One of its most striking characteristics is that every room features original works of\u00a0art<\/strong>\u00a0made with\u00a0re-using<\/strong>\u00a0materials.

5. Travel the Ancient Via Gran Ducale<\/em>: by Bike, by Foot or on Horseback<\/h2>\n

Via Gran Ducale<\/strong><\/a> is the perfect spot for those who love nature and history<\/strong>. It was originally the road that connected the Papal States to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. This is an easy route to be travelled by bike<\/strong>, by foot or on horseback<\/strong>. It measures 10km, and it takes about 4 hours to complete. Also, you could travel there any season of the year.<\/p>\n

First, start from the organic farm Sant\u2019Egle, and follow the beautiful promenade<\/strong> which is home to several animal species and centuries-old oaks<\/strong>. Along the way, you will meet many interesting places, such as the small village of San Quirico di Soran<\/strong>o and Vitozza<\/a>, the disappeared city.<\/p>\n
