One of the Best Places To Visits in San Dalmazio Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Nicely restored castle. There are guided tours during which they show you the inside of the castle. Check the times before you go, since they are very infrequent. It's possible to make a nice circular walk to and around the castle. The descend is quite steep and can be slippery. Be sure to put on your hiking boots. Excellent tour by Young lady. Boeing a biologist she explained also a lot about the regional botanics. The Rocca Silliana is a beautiful well preserved historical site. There is a short before reaching the top, but the trail is very well kept and it is a very enjoyable walk. The itself is beautiful and the sight you get from the top is one of the best you can get in the Toscana. If you are a photographer do not forget your tripod and telephoto! Moonrises are specially beautiful! Nice quiet historical place, properly marked and described on place. Becarefull for very limited opening hours. Great up for 1,000 year old Fortress experience. The actual fortress is closed most days of the year, but that bike and part, plus some views is good The opening times are only posted on the gate to the which is a tough 15 minute walk through forest up a steep hillside from the car park. In summer it is only open 4 days a week in the late afternoon, more restricted at other times of the year. Opening times for 2023 attached here. Beautiful fortress. Worth the up there. Be aware that you need to take a tour to enter the fortress and tours are only available in the evening starting at 17:00 until 19:00 (latest tour start). A nice little hike, 20min with a three year old and carrying a 11 month old baby. Beautiful views all around, especially on a clear day. Make sure to check the working hours before hand. We were the only English speaking in the whole group of Italians. The took us aside at the end and told us everything once again in english. Very kind. €3 for adults, children under 4, for free. A great tour and well worth the short walk up the hill. We had Samantha as our and she was amazing. She provided really good information about Rocco Silliana and also the region. $5 euro at the gate. One of the best guided tours I've done👌 Posto magico , le due molto gentili e preparate! Bellissimo posto, bellissima la rocca e la sua collocazione. Molto gradevole la visita guidata Best tour I have probably ever had of a castle. The was great, she basicially new everything about the castle, honestly can't say enough positive words about our guide. Even without the guide, the view is amazing and worth the small hike. True Tuscany highlight. Some info on the tours since I found the site lacking: 3 euros per person and it starts every full hour on Friday through Sunday starting from 16 in the afternoon until closing time. Worth every cent, go do it!
