Overview
Come with me to discover the lost town of Vitozza!
Walk with me through the breathtaking city of Sorano and then descend into the hidden trails underneath to finally reach the ancient town of Vitozza, the Matera of Tuscany.
In this town people dug their houses inside the tuff rock since time immemorial and lived in it until the 18th century.
We will enter inside some of these houses and wander around the remnants of the old castles (Vitozza had 3) that overlook the town, to see how people used to live in such an incredible environment.
At the end of the hike it would be possible to taste a glass of local wine in an incredible wine cellar dug inside the tuff rock.
ATTENTION: The wine tasting is optional and available only upon request.
