Sovana

This tiny hamlet in southern Tuscany's wine country carries a history well beyond its size: an Etruscan centre, a medieval and Renaissance settlement, and a former episcopal seat, Sovana sits in the province of Grosseto with a handful of cafés and restaurants and a strong visual character that has earned it a place among Italy's recognised most beautiful villages.
