Farmhouse near Roccatederighi and Sassofortino: timeless villages

Roccatederighi: the village of “boulders” overlooking the Maremma

Roccatederighi is one of the area’s most distinctive medieval villages. Known even before the year 1000, it rises on an impressive rocky outcrop that dominates the Maremma. The village skyline follows the natural shape of its “massi” (boulders), creating a unique and captivating architectural setting.
Its perfectly preserved historic center invites you to wander through arches, stairways, narrow lanes, and ancient gateways, all the way to the evocative Clock Tower—still intact and a symbol of the village. From the panoramic viewpoints, you’ll enjoy spectacular views over the surrounding hills and the Maremma countryside.

Sassofortino and the Castle of Sassoforte

A short distance from Roccatederighi lies Sassofortino, a small village tied to the history of the Aldobrandeschi Counts, one of the most influential families in medieval Tuscany. The Castle of Sassoforte, now partially in ruins, still preserves important traces of the ancient fortifications.
Sections of the walls, towers, and the keep are still visible, including the original entrance gate, decorated with a corbel featuring a vegetal motif. All of this is set in a stunning natural landscape, among centuries-old chestnut trees and scenic trails offering memorable views of the Colline Metallifere and the Maremma.
