Neighborhood

Sorano it's not just a small medieval village, it's a step back in time. Imagine strolling through narrow cobblestone streets, sunlight filtering through ancient archways, the scent of wood-fired pizza drifting from a nearby trattoria... that's the magic of Sorano. Here's what makes this medieval village so special: Sorano is perched on a tufo cliff, with Etruscan caves, medieval fortresses, and Renaissance palazzos all layered upon each other. You can practically feel the history beneath your feet!   Wander off the beaten path and discover artisan workshops, tucked-away wine cellars, and breathtaking views from unexpected corners. Sorano offers a true taste of Tuscany. Savor hearty local dishes, sample handcrafted cheeses, and sip on renowned regional wines. Don't miss the chance to try acquacotta, a traditional bread and vegetable soup. The surrounding countryside is a tapestry of rolling hills, olive groves, and vineyards. Perfect for hiking, biking, or simply soaking up the Tuscan sun.   And the best part? Palazzo Palloni is right in the heart of it all! You'll be steps away from charming cafes, vibrant markets, and historical landmarks.

Guest Access

All areas of the apartment can be used, while the common areas of the building (entrance/staircase) must be used with respect for the neighbor's quiet. Furthermore, the Palazzo boasts a unique medieval wine cellar from the 15th Century, available under booking request and availability. This atmospheric space is ideal for private wine tasting activities. Please inquire with us in advance to arrange your exclusive wine tasting experience and check availability for the cellar.

Location

Sorano, Toscana, Italy

Moving around Sorano is a delight! Here's how you can explore this charming village and its surroundings: In Sorano: On Foot: The best way to experience Sorano is by simply wandering its enchanting streets. Lose yourself in the maze of alleyways, discover hidden courtyards, and stumble upon breathtaking views. Wear comfortable shoes, as the streets are cobbled and can be steep in places. By Car: While a car isn't necessary within Sorano itself, having one will give you the freedom to explore the surrounding countryside at your own pace. Just be aware that parking within the historic center can be limited. I can provide you with information on parking options near your accommodation. Reaching Nearby Towns and Landmarks: By Car: A car is the most convenient way to visit nearby towns like Pitigliano and Sovana, or to reach natural wonders like the Terme di Saturnia (Saturnia hot springs) and the Parco Archeologico Città del Tufo (archaeological park). By Bus: There are local bus services that connect Sorano to other towns in the area. While buses might not be as frequent as in larger cities, they offer a scenic and affordable way to travel. I can help you with bus schedules and routes.

I struggled to type this review because it was hard to put into words just how incredible of an experience we had at Mario’s place. Not only is this home spectacularly furnished, and impeccably clean, the attention to detail Mario has put into every nook and cranny is phenomenal, something you’ll really appreciate if you’re into art and design. We also loved all of the little ammenities here and there that were just so thoughtful. Mario himself is the most wonderful host, even though we barely Spoke Italian (translated usually by his son) every time we saw him he was always happy to see us and offer us insights into the magic of sorano. This one has now taken top of the list when it comes to our Airbnb experiences - Grazie mille Mario!

We had a 5-star experience all around! Mario, the owner, and Silvia, the co-host, were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The apartment was even better than the pictures, situated in a peaceful little village—perfect for a relaxing getaway. Wonderful clean decor, it’s well-equipped with all of the amenities you could possibly need, including dishwasher, washer/dryer, Nespresso coffee maker, great WiFi, and a wonderful shower. Beds were, clean, fresh and very comfortable. The only improvement could be air conditioning or fans in the bedrooms. The location is quiet, with barely any traffic, though it’s just steps away from a main road for easy access. A lovely feature is the nearby old church with charming bells ringing daily from 08:00 to 20:00. Highly recommended!
