About Lajatico
Lajatico is a small hilltop village in the Valdera, with fertile farmland around it and terrain running from about 100 to 650 metres. It is best known as the home town of the tenor Andrea Bocelli. About a kilometre outside is the Teatro del Silenzio, a natural theatre among the hills around a small lake ringed by travertine blocks, with sculpture by Igor Mitoraj; it stays silent all year except for one summer concert. In the village are the parish church of San Leonardo, built in 1275, and a small Etruscan museum. Our homes are in the countryside around Lajatico rather than in the village, and most are compact places for couples.
