Distances and Attractions
Santa Fiora, considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, is just a short walk from La Casa di Elsa via the charming wooded paths that begin near the property's main entrance. The village is steeped in history, built around the remains of the ancient Aldobrandesque fortifications, of which the Clock Tower is adorned with ceramics by the Della Robbia family, with battlements dating back to the 19th century. Nearby, the Palazzo Sforza stands over the remains of the walls of the old castle, while the Church of Saints Flora and Lucilla houses the celebrated terracotta altarpieces of the Della Robbia Florentine workshop. The Peschiera, a tranquil mirror of clear water dedicated to trout breeding, forms a small and enchanting park immersed in silence, beside which stands the Church of the Madonna delle Nevi, built above the sources of the river Fiora, visible through a glass floor. Exploring the village further along Via Carolina and through its various streets, you pass through the historic Jewish ghetto, whose appearance remains remarkably similar to what it would have been in the mid-16th century, culminating in the Piazza del Ghetto, the only square in Santa Fiora accessible from a single entrance. The Mercury Mine Museum is also open to visitors within the village. Beyond Santa Fiora, the wider region of Tuscany offers an extraordinary wealth of cultural and natural attractions. Etruscan towns rich in history, such as Montepulciano, Montalcino, and San Casciano di Bagni, are within easy reach, as are the great art cities of Tuscany.
