Bagno Vignoni is a small but lovely village nestled in the val d'Orcia, just a few kilometres from Siena.
The Baths
Bagno Vignoni owes its fame to the Spa and the square of water fed by a spring. The water flows from the source to 1000 meters deep, when it rises to the surface is collected in the village square, forming a natural swimming pool.
The sets that water forms with its 52° are sensational, especially in the winter when you come up against the cold temperatures.
To complete this picture the stone houses, squares and craftsmen's workshops.
