Discover Pancole

If you are considering Pancole as a destination for a hotel stay, you can use several distinct local points of interest as your guide: at the centre is the parish church of Nome di Maria; the area is also shaped by historic features, a circular walk along the Via Clodia and wine growing in the hamlet. This lets you choose Pancole according to your travel interests—for example, whether local history, hiking or wine growing matters most to you.

The church and historic local features

The parish church of Nome di Maria stands in the centre of Pancole, on Strada Statale 322 delle Collacchie. A remarkable cistern fountain is located in the highest square; the spring that supplied the old washhouses is another notable historic feature. The fountain and spring point to different aspects of local history: one is associated with the highest square, the other with the old washhouses. The parish territory of Pancole also includes the Cappella di Sant’Anna. For orientation, it is useful to know how they are situated: the parish church is in the centre, while the chapel belongs to the parish territory.

Hiking along the Via Clodia

A 12-kilometre, moderately difficult circular walk along the Via Clodia starts in Pancole. Its circular route, distance and difficulty level give you concrete criteria if you want a hike to be a significant part of your stay. For one section, the Via Clodia follows an unpaved white road described as an ancient Roman consular road. It was built to reach the thermal baths. When choosing, you can distinguish between two aspects: the 12-kilometre distance and moderate rating describe the circular route; the road and its former purpose give one section its historical context.

Wine growing in the hamlet of Pancole

The Il Salotto winery is located in the hamlet of Pancole, at Località Salotto 72/A. Its vines grow at an altitude of 300 to 350 metres in the classic Morellino zone. Since the 1970s, the winery has produced wine exclusively using organic methods. The altitude indicates where the vines are situated, while organic methods describe the production process—two different aspects of the area's connection with wine. If you are planning a visit to the winery, check visiting arrangements directly with Il Salotto.

Festivities and the local community

Festivities are also part of the area's cultural identity. In July 2023, the Sagra della Lasagna in Pancole held its 17th edition. Pro Loco Pancole brings together people who want to promote tourism, culture, the environment, social life, sport, history and the arts in the municipality of Scansano. Their particular aim is to improve life for residents and visitors in the hamlet of Pancole. The Sagra is a historic local celebration with a specific year attached, while the Pro Loco combines a municipality-wide development goal with a particular commitment to Pancole.
