Tips from the Community
The Piccolomini Castle, which overlooks the town center and today also houses the Town Hall. It is located right on the main square, which is why it is so distinctive in the village's panorama. It is a structure with medieval origins, built on the remains of a previous fortification, of which the central prismatic tower still remains. The current appearance is the result of various interventions by the noble families who owned it over time, particularly the Acquaviva, Piccolomini, and Medici families; the fifteenth-century configuration is generally attributed to 1485, while the interior was restored in 1924.

It’s an enchanted village, walking in those narrow alleys makes you dream, just like the delicacies that Barbara and Andrea expertly prepare in their small restaurant make you dream.

The village is a little gem, it's a shame the welcome isn't great for cyclists, but it's a rather touristy area.

A superbly beautiful village with narrow streets and delicious restaurants. However, it's also the most touristy village for miles around. Tour groups are also "delivered" here by bus.
