Historic and Cultural Attractions!
For those drawn to history, the nearby Roselle Archaeological Park – just 10 kilometers north of Grosseto – is a treasure trove of the region’s Etruscan past. Wander among the remnants of “Rusellae,” explore the cyclopean walls and ancient residential neighborhoods, and imagine life in a city that once bridged the Etruscan and Roman eras.
A short drive also leads you to the serene Abbey of Sant’Antimo, a former Benedictine monastery steeped in centuries of spiritual and cultural heritage. Located around 10 kilometers from Montalcino and near the Via Francigena, the abbey’s storied past – from early artifacts to medieval renovations – offers a reflective pause amid your Tuscan journey.
Also, you may enjoy and appreciate a visit to Talamone, a town whose roots stretch back to antiquity and historic Italy. Just 25 kilometers from Grosseto, this port town has witnessed pivotal moments – from ancient battles to the visits of figures like Garibaldi – enriching your stay with its compelling historical narrative.
Discover Santa Fiora and Its Timeless Charm!
A short excursion from Podere Sodi takes you to the historic town of Santa Fiora, one of “I Borghi più belli d'Italia.” Nestled amid the ancient hills of Tuscany, this enchanting comune boasts a rich past dating back to 890 AD and features a beautiful park built around a 15th-century spring-fed fish pool. Here, nature and history blend seamlessly, inviting you to stroll along its storied paths and enjoy a moment of peace by the water’s edge.
The coastline and medieval charm await in Castiglione della Pescaia, an ancient seaside town where beaches, nature parks, and quaint historical centers invite exploration. A blend of sandy shores, Etruscan sites, and vibrant local life makes it an ideal day-trip destination, with the natural reserve of Diaccia Botrona adding an enchanting note to the coastal landscape.
Culinary Experiences!
For a taste of authentic Tuscan cuisine, La Taverna di Campagna Trattoria in Monte Antico is a must. With over 30 years of tradition, this restaurant preserves and elevates local culinary customs. Its menu, featuring handmade pasta and locally sourced grilled meats, tells the story of the region’s gastronomic heritage with warmth and genuine hospitality.
A Heartwarming Culinary Haven! For over 50 years, proprietor Vinerio welcomed guests with warm hospitality at Restorante Da Vinerio Albergo, founded in 1964. Having left his small-town roots as a young man, he returned for the love of Maria, the woman he married, and together they tirelessly built their dream. Though both have passed on, their legacy lives through their son Riccardo and his daughter, who continue to care for a devoted clientele. Located in the center of town at the foot of Monte Amiata, this welcoming restaurant offers inexpensive, simple fare perfect for large families, all just minutes from the vineyards of Montecucco, the Val d’Orcia, and the pristine beaches of Maremma.
A Wine Lovers’ Paradise in the Heart of Tuscany: Embrace the flavors of southern Tuscany with Morellino di Scansano, a dry red wine crafted predominantly from the Sangiovese grape. Hailing from the rolling coastal hills around the medieval village of Scansano, this “little dark one” has emerged from the shadows of its more famous counterparts like Chianti Classico and Montalcino. Enjoy its lively freshness, crisp character, and complex notes of cherry, pomegranate, leather, cedar, and spice. For those seeking depth, the Riserva, aged in oak for at least a year, reveals even greater structure and potential.
Come immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Tuscany’s past and present in a home that makes for an unforgettable and treasured experience. Come to Podere Sodi!
