Let's start with Pitigliano, just a few minutes by car and of very ancient origins. The  peculiarity of Pitigliano is that the town has been entirely built  on tufa. Especially during the night one can enjoy enchanting view of the golden colored tufa. Inside of the village in those narrow alleys lined by small artisan shops, shops with local products (cheese, charcuterie, local wine etc.) as well as bars and restaurants where it is possible to taste the delicious local cuisine, once the cuisine of poor people. Discover the Etruscan traces on the so called Vie Cave, on the paths digged by the Etruscans into the rocks.

Other places nearby, also built on tufa, are the characteristic villages Sorano (with recently discovered spas) and Sovana (10 km) that - together with Pitigliano - form the  trilogy of the tufa villages in Maremma.
About 20 km away it is worth visiting the Saturnia Spas or those at San Casciano, in the Province of Siena (about 50 km). The Bolsena Lake (already in the Latium, about 25 km), the Etruscan town Vulci (40 km), the Argentario Coast (ca. 50 km), Orvieto (in the Latium, about ca. 55 km) and the mount Monte Amiata (ca. 60 km) can be reached in more ore less one hour by car. Rome is approximately 120 km away.
