Sarteano is a splendid medieval village perched on a plateau between the Val d'Orcia and Valdichiana. The Civic Archaeological Museum is worth a visit, where you can admire the Tomb of the Infernal Quadrigia, an impressive reconstruction of the Etruscan monument.

Church with dome dating back to the 16th century.

The Bico Festival is excellent

Very beautiful place, you can use the Roman-era tubs with thermal water for free.

Magic nightride! Thnx for sharing this route. I started this ride anti clockwise 20.30hr in late June. Next to the great views over the lake at sunset it started to get dark when passing Liciano Niccone (So bring some good light with you) From there the last climb trough the forrest was pure magical. At both sides of the road the forest was full of fireflies. Quit some stunning experience!

It is really only possible to access the Radicofani tower via Via Marconi, as the original footpath and the small access road are both blocked. It is a bit of a climb, and has 'normal' opening hours and costs about €5 to enter. I would say it is worth it! My vertigo stopped me from going right to the top floor, but even from the next from top, the views over the valley are astounding, and the historical associations are rich.

Arriving about 230 on a Sunday afternoon, the lunch service was theoretically at a close, but they kindly provided me a big plate of pasta (primi piatti from the lunch menu) and a glass of Sardinian beer which revived the spirits considerably.

Tuscan towns seem to divide into 2 categories, those on the "tourist trail" and those not. For some reason Radicofani seems to be "not", even though it is full of present-day charm and (often uncharging) history. It is a stiff climb to get to from the floor of Val d'Orcia, even when cycling while the walking effort is truly epic, but worth it! We stayed in an utterly charming tiny cottage, Casa del Ciliego, and ate in one of the numerous small restaurants - plenty were open, even on a quietist Sun evening. Stocked up in the amazing tiny grocery, hidden away in the ancient 'ghetto' part of the town. You can also buy enough to make a full meal quite easily here.
