Lajatico sits in mainly hilly terrain at variable elevations from 100 to 650 meters (330 to 2,130 ft) above sea level) and dominates both the end of the Valdera valley and the opening of the valley known as Val di Cecina. La Sterza, one of its hamlets (frazioni), is the natural door between these two geographical areas.

Lajatico has the following hamlets (frazioni) associated with it: Orciatico, an ancient small medieval village; San Giovanni di Val d'Era; and La Sterza.
