Ruins of the thermal baths above, and below, paradise with light blue water in the pools. A dream.

At present (March 2025) there is no water flowing here.

Bagno Vignoni is a small medieval village built more than a thousand years ago, in the heart of the Val d'Orcia. Peculiar to this village is the main square, consisting of a thermal pool (where it is not possible to swim) which makes the landscape truly unique. Below the hill on which the village stands there are two other pools with thermal water. The water flows from above the city to the ponds, overflows and flows into the river.

Bagno Vignoni is a small medieval village built a thousand years ago amidst rolling hills and winding roads. There is a swimming pool in the main square, and below the hill there are two pools with thermal waters. Water flows from above the town down to the ponds, overflows through them and flows into the river.

Impressive sulfur spring, whose hot water runs over the rock and has given it its typical color. The spot under the rock offers the hotter spring water. It is somewhat more difficult to access than the upper springs, which are not quite as hot. Once you get used to the heat, you really don't want to get out of the pool. Except for the parking fee, the springs are free and freely accessible. Early mornings before 10am or on rainy days give you the best chance of a swim without too many other people. One of our holiday highlights in Tuscany.

Nice route and characteristic Madonnina!

The springs were discovered by Prior Filippo Benizi and were first mentioned in 1271. The thermal baths are fed from a hot spring, the water contains sulfur and smells accordingly. It is said to be one of the oldest spas used by the Romans and Etruscans.
