beautiful hamlet with a wonderful view

wonderful village dug into the tuff

If you don't want to be so crowded, you have to get up early. It's already packed by midday. We're not bed-leavers, so we drove past it and didn't come back until the evening. With the last rays of sun, there were fewer bathers and more peace and quiet for relaxation in the comfortably warm water with a view of the wonderful nature. Your nose gets used to the slight smell of sulphur very quickly. Don't miss it.😊

The Vie Cave, sometimes also called Cavoni, form a suggestive road system from the Etruscan era that connects various settlements and necropolises between Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano. They mainly develop between steep tuff rock walls, some of which exceed twenty meters in height. In Roman times, these streets became part of a road network connected to the main trunk of the Via Clodia, an ancient road that connected Rome to Saturnia, passing through the city of Tuscania and branching off from the Via Cassia in Lazio. The Via Cava di San Giuseppe is one of the most evocative in the area, as well as the longest, leading up to Pitigliano. This street is associated with the traditional torchlight procession of San Giuseppe, which is held on March 19th. The link between ancient pagan rites and the dark atmosphere along the route, which still persists today, dates back to Christian times, when small niches with painted sacred images, known as "devil chasers", were dug to protect travellers.

Sorano is located in a suggestive mountainous region immersed in the richness of forests. The medieval village clings to a steep tuff rock called Masso Leopoldino, which dominates the valley of the Lente stream. The tower houses, the winding streets, the open spaces, the alleys and tunnels that intertwine in the heart of the rock give the neighborhood a unique charm. The panorama from the terrace on the top of the cliff offers exceptional views of Sorano, the volcanic gorges and the Lente valley. Over the centuries, Sorano has been the scene of disputes, sieges and wars, earning it the curious nickname of "Italy's match".

Parking lot for campers is about 1km north - who's interested ;o)
