Radicofani Tower

Highlight • Castle

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.

Ristorante La Grotta

Highlight • Restaurant

This restaurant is celebrated for its delicious and generously portioned traditional Tuscan dishes. Try the pasta – particularly the pici with wild boar sauce. The service is friendly and attentive with an authentic vibe.

Church of St. Peter, Radicofani

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

Fountain with Globe Sculpture, Parco Comunale di Piancastagnaio

Highlight • Monument

Municipal park just outside the walls of Piancastagnaio.
Good refreshment point for the ascent to Monte Amiata.
There is a fountain to fill up on water.

Mount Amiata Summit (Vetta Amiata)

Highlight • Summit

Tough climb to the top of the highest peak in Tuscany. There appears to be a cafe open most of the year for refreshments, but check before you make the climb to be sure.

Monte Amiata Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A beautiful climb, immersed in a dense forest, with a constant slope that leaves no respite. You have to climb with your own pace, without forcing yourself at the beginning, otherwise you will reach the top exhausted because of the length.

Abbadia San Salvatore

Highlight • Settlement

Abbadia San Salvatore, in Tuscany, known for its ancient monastery, experienced mining prosperity in the 20th century. With the closure of the mines, tourism became predominant, making it a landmark of Monte Amiata.
