Before you continue...

Have you found the beautiful alleyway from the photo yet? It's hidden just around the square and is one of Lajatico's most charming little corners.

 

Leave the square via Via F. Corridoni and keep to the right as you continue uphill.

 

After a short walk, you'll arrive at an even smaller square, where you'll be rewarded with a beautiful view over the rolling hills of Tuscany.

 

You'll also find Ristorante Il Tenditoio here. If you're looking for a special lunch or dinner, I can highly recommend it. The food is excellent, and the view over the Tuscan hills makes it a truly memorable place to dine.

 

If you need help finding this location,
you can view it on Google Maps.

This small square offers one of the finest views over the countryside surrounding Lajatico.

 

For centuries, these rolling hills have been shaped by farming. Fields of wheat, vineyards and olive groves have long been the heart of the local economy, while the scattered farmhouses reflect a way of life that has changed little over generations.

 

Although agriculture has always been central to life here, the beauty and tranquillity of this landscape have inspired generations of artists, long before Lajatico became internationally known for music.
