The verdict

Piazza della Repubblica Pitigliano and Parc de l'Uccellina neck and neck

8,1 versus 8,0: the gap is too small to separate them on the overall rating. The choice comes down to the criteria that matter to you, below.

Choose Parc de l'Uccellina if…

  • coastal park of 9,000 hectares of pines, scrubland and cliffs, with 25 km of coastline, the San Rabano abbey and wild herds

Its weak point in this head-to-head: photogénie (8,1). 25 km of coastline between sand beaches and cliffs, Cala di Forno enclosed between two headlands, Collelungo and Castel Marino towers.

Choose Piazza della Repubblica Pitigliano if…

  • you prioritise photogénie (8,6 vs 8,1) : Houses set on a tuff drum, vertical to the cliff; from the lookout points, the whole silhouette of the village stands out against the gorges.
  • you prioritise rapport qualité/expérience (8,2 vs 7,8) : Free wandering through the alleys and visit to the Jewish quarter with no entry fee for a powerful experience; the long drive is rewarded.
