Suvereto
This superb medieval town, with origins dating back to before the year 1000, set on the slopes of hills overlooking the sea and Etruscan Coast, in the verdant valley crossed by the River Cornia, with its wealth of history and art, is a true gem. The town (awarded the Orange Flag for quality in tourism, hospitality and the environment by Touring Club Italiano), with its stunning architecture, is home, within its ancient walls, to stone alleyways and houses, historic palazzos, charming churches and shady cloisters. Dense woods of cork, chestnut and oak trees, and the Mediterranean maquis stretch down to the sea. The flourishing countryside, with its vineyards and centuries-old olive groves, is crossed by the Wine Trail. Here there are numerous farms, oil mills, wineries and holiday farms, where visitors can taste local produce and typical dishes of a genuine gastronomic tradition. The ancient traditions of Suvereto live on in the skills handed down for generations.
