The answer to this question obviously varies, but if we were to average it, the breakdown is something like this:

1. Italians
The vast majority of tourists in Soriano are other Italians, especially during the summer months. Soriano is a popular weekend getaway spot for people from Rome and Florence. Many have their second homes here.

2. British
Of the foreign tourists, you will always find a fair number of people from the UK. This is because of a time share hotel in town called Palazzo Catalani that mostly caters to Brits.

3. Americans and Australians
Some Americans participate in the timeshare group noted above, and about half of our own guests are Americans. Additionally, many of our own guests come from Australia, and there is a an Australian couple in Soriano that provides vacation rentals for other Australians.

4. New Zealand, Canada, Northern Europe
There are usually a few poeple in town from other areas. Some of our guests are Canadians, New Zealanders, and there are occasional tourists from northern Europe in Palazzo Catalani.

Overall
At any given time during the higher seasons, you will find no more than 50 or 60 foreign tourists in town. This is enough to rest assured that services catering to you are there, but you will not be overwhelmed by thousands of tourists crowding the streets as you would in many of the tourist traps.
