Sorano’s Orsini Castle is one of the most impressive pieces of military architecture in all of  Tuscany and one of the region’s most important strongholds.

The legend of the “Fortezza Inespugnabile” (Impregnable Fortress) can be read in the chronicles of the centuries and in 1608 Niccolo dell’Antella writes: “…High above like a falcon…and when you are on the ground…looking on with wonder at such height…it almost seems that the eye will lose…”

For a long time the Sorano Fortress defended the borders of Southern Tuscany as well as the entire country. Its position was reinforced by its ancient wall and the drawbridge which could be closed to keep invaders out.

The Hotel della Fortezza is located in a small piazza in the oldest part of the Fortress Citadel on the other side of the drawbridge. Transformed into 16 rooms and furnished with a refined elegance and antique pieces, the hotel has breathtaking views of the small town of Sorano.

The rooms, each different from the other, allow you to enjoy an unforgettable holiday in the heart of the medieval centre of Sorano in Maremma, Tuscany.
