Market days

The market in Castell’Azzara is on Thursday mornings, 09:00–13:00, in the big car park on Via Guglielmo Marconi next to the public garden: organic fruit and vegetables, fish and meat, clothes and shoes, home and kitchen supplies, and simple street food. Acquapendente on Friday is larger and good for local and organic produce.

Wood

Order in September. Prices rise later in the year. Order in quintali, not cubic metres (one quintale is 100 kg), and check the length will fit your stove. All three speak Italian only; WhatsApp is often easier than calling.

Fuel

The nearest station is La Botte, on the road to Pitigliano. Others are in Santa Fiora, Piancastagnaio, Acquapendente, San Quirico and Pitigliano.

Food shops in the village

Everything below is in Castell’Azzara itself. Hours change with the season and with whoever is behind the counter; these are what is posted.
