Bagno Vignoni is a lovely little hamlet situated in the breathtaking Orcia valley (Unesco World Heritage Site), southern Tuscany. It is definitely worth a visit for two reasons:
First, at the heart of the village you will find the "Square of Sources", namely a rectangular tank, of sixteenth-century origin, which contains the original source of water that comes from the underground aquifer of volcanic origins. Since the Etruscans and Romans - as evidenced by the numerous archaeological finds - the spa of Bagno Vignoni was attended by eminent personalities such as Pope Pius II, Santa Caterina da Siena, Lorenzo the Magnificent and many other artists who had elected the village as main holiday resort.

Now it's not possible to bathe in this rectangular tank of course but here we get to the second reason... in the same village you will find the wonderful Hotel La Posta with both outdoor and indoor pools filled with precious mineral water and with amazing views over the valley and the Rocca d’Orcia.
