1. Bagno Vignoni

Bagno Vignoni seems to make it on to all of our lists about spas and pretty, little-known corners of Tuscany!

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.

View of the hills surrounding the Vitaleta Chapel

Amongst the colourful southern Tuscany countryside beside the village of Vitaleta, lies a charming little house of praise called the Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta. One of the most photographed churches in Tuscany, this mystical building used to be the home of a Renaissance statue of the Madonna sculpted by the artist, Andrea della Robbia in 1590. Built in the middle of a hill, this spectacular tourist attraction was restored in 1184 by the architect Giuseppe Partini and was recently classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Dotted across this magnificent countryside are many peaceful holiday villas and luxury accommodation to stay in and soak in the undisturbed natural beauty of the area.

When one thinks of Tuscany, famous historic and artistic sites quickly come to mind, alongside elegant cities, pretty towns, and beyond picturesque villages. That several of these places have been listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites likely comes as no surprise but it is not just the man-made beauties of Tuscany that have been awarded this special denomination. Additionally, there are some natural wonders for which the region is celebrated and that should make you consider booking a villa with pool in Tuscany so that you can come explore it all for yourself.

Leave the daily stresses of life behind and dive into the otherworldly beauty of this magical part of the world with Tuscany Villas!
