Petriolo Thermal Baths

Monticiano, thermal baths of Petriolo

Between Siena and Grosseto, right on the border of the territories of Monticiano and Civitella Paganico, within the Basso Merse Nature Reserve, stand the Petriolo Thermal Baths.

The thermal baths in which you can do free of charge all year round, are made up of deposits of sulfur and limestone and are immersed in the waters of the stream and from where it comes out. water at a temperature of 42 degrees that makes attendance pleasant even during the winter months due to the hot steam that mixes with the cold air and thus creating a optimum temperature.

The spas experienced ups and downs until they found their appreciated identity even if outside the classic canons specifically dedicated to this type of tourism. The enhancement that all Italian spas have been carrying out for some years has made this niche of tourism specialized in body care rediscover. Their thermal water is taken from tubes that reach up to 300 meters deep and send it to the small rock pools.

The appearance of the castle is that of a fortified complex, formed by the manor residence with a quadrangular plan and a tower with battlements. Also from the same period near the castle is the Chapel of San Leonardo, another gem to visit. But you can also find other springs, near the thermal baths.

Along the Farma, about 800 meters from the thermal baths, there is a characteristic travertine formation resembling a large white mushroom on top of which a small source rich in calcium carbonate, which increases and gradually transforms its shape.

The Spring of Guinazione -reachable from the village through a dirt road- stands about 240 meters above sea level at Lama Iesa. The spring has a ferrous water that comes out at 27°C.
