Vignoni Alto, a picturesque medieval village perched on a hill, offers breathtaking views of Castiglione d'Orcia and the Val d'Orcia. With its rich history dating back to the eleventh century, the village is a living monument of feudal times, with remains such as a high tower and the Romanesque church of San Biagio. Despite its small population of only 28 inhabitants, Vignoni Alto retains its unique charm and character. The spectacular views of the Orcia Valley below complete the visit to this well-preserved Tuscan fortified hill town.
