5 things to do in Bagno Vignoni

At the center of the village is a large stone thermal bath right in the main piazza. Seeing the water at sunrise or sunset, when the vapors rise silently and blur the landscape, is an experience you’ll never forget. While swimming is not permitted, even the sight itself is therapeutic.

Bagno Vignoni’s waters, known for their healing properties, can be experienced in three elegant facilities: the Terme Spa & Resort overlooking the historic central pool, the Terme Hotel La Posta with pools surrounded by greenery and the Terme Hotel Adler, which even offers a rejuvenating experience in the Salt Grotto with salts from the Dead Sea.

Descending along a path near the village is the Parco dei Mulini—the Park of Mills. This place is rich in charm, where hypogeal mills carved into the rock tell of centuries of ingenuity. Thanks to a sophisticated canalization system, these facilities were able to function even during the summer, taking advantage of the constancy of the hot springs.

Bagno Vignoni has ancient origins and a past linked to powerful Sienese families such as the Ardenga, Gallerani and Salimbeni. In the 14ᵗʰ century, it was considered a veritable castle because of the presence of the tower, which is still visible in the village today. 
Walking among these ancient stones, you can make out the keep, one of the ancient gateways and the Romanesque church of San Biagio, which preserves traces of frescoes from the 14ᵗʰ and 15ᵗʰ centuries.
The village is small but charming, with quiet streets, glimpses of the Val d’Orcia and an atmosphere suspended in time. It’s worth lingering here, taking a few photos and being enveloped by the silence that seems to guard everything.
In addition, Bagno Vignoni is also an ideal starting point for visiting iconic villages such as San Quirico d’Orcia, Castiglione d’Orcia, Pienza and Montalcino. 

In an area where every hill tells a story, wine also becomes an expression of the landscape. 
Sitting outdoors and sipping a glass of Brunello di Montalcino or Nobile di Montepulciano is an invitation to slow down, to listen to the landscape and let its stillness and harmony wash over you.
