About Pomarance
Pomarance is a medieval village that has grown into a small modern town, sitting at about 370 metres in the Val di Cecina, in the Province of Pisa. The old centre has three gates, the piazza di San Dalmazio and the church of San Giovanni Battista, with works by Cristoforo Roncalli, the local painter known as Il Pomarancio. The homes are scattered across the area around the town rather than in its streets, so expect to drive in for shopping. Geysers dot the area, and the valley towards Larderello is crossed by silver pipes and power station cooling towers. The area also has two nature reserves, Berignone Forest and Monterufoli-Caselli. Evenings mostly mean your own garden, since every home has one.

How far is Pomarance from Volterra?
About 22 minutes by car, a little over 20 km. Line 780 also links the two in roughly 35 minutes, but with a bus only every few hours, a hire car is far more practical for day trips.
What is the Valle del Diavolo near Pomarance?
It is the geothermal valley around Pomarance and Larderello, known for its many geysers. Larderello was the world's first site for producing electricity from geothermal energy, and its Geothermics Museum tells the story.
When is the Pomarance Palio?
The Palio delle Contrade falls on the second Sunday of September. The town's four districts compete with short theatre pieces performed by amateur actors on the Piazzone, each lasting no more than 30 minutes.
What food is Pomarance known for?
Pomarancina lamb, a local speciality recognised as a Slow Food Presidium. Look out too for Pomarance bread and the town's ricciarelli, made with almond paste.
Is Pomarance good for bigger groups?
Only just. Most homes around Pomarance are small, often with a single bedroom, and few sleep eight or more, so larger families should book early or split across two properties.
