Bagno Vignoni — the village with the pool instead of the square

Bagni Vignone, Siena
Bagni Vignone, Siena
In my travels I like to abandon the paths imposed by the guides and look for small, lesser-known places, but perhaps for this reason the most fascinating. So I found Bagno Vignoni, a small town in the province of Siena that deserves to be visited for its curious feature.

Generally the heart of the city consists of the square with the common fountain or the classic game of colored stones on the floor. The peculiarity of Bagno Vignoni instead consists in the fact that the square is a real ancient thermal bath, the “Piazza delle Sorgenti”.

The presence of the bath is incredible especially for the atmosphere that is created in autumn and winter, when it is shrouded in fog. Fairies or other legendary beings are expected to come up from any moment to the next.

Bagno Vignoni is a renowned destination for its wealth of spas. Located inside the Natural Artistic Park in the heart of the Val d'Orcia, with the typical hilly landscape and natural areas such as the cypress wood, it is a destination that since the Etruscan era, passing through the Romans, has been able to instill the benefits deriving from the hot springs it possesses.


There are different solutions for those who want to enjoy the beneficial properties of thermal waters and relax in the green hills of Tuscany, such as the free spas equipped with a large swimming pool in which to spend a few hours of tranquility or stay in the numerous oases consisting of facilities that have services and treatments for every need.


Of particular interest is the nearby Mulini Natural Park, consisting of a system of canals and four mills dug into rock and fed by thermal water. Bathing in the canals is dangerous and uncomfortable, but at the end of the Mills Path, just below Bagno Vignoni, there is a beautiful and clean swimming pool where the same water flows into the large pool of the Piazza delle Sorgenti.

What To See near Bagno Vignoni

Siena (7 Km)

Palazzo Piccolomini-Clementini

The Piccolomini-Clementini Palace was built in the fourteenth century. In addition to the Gothic style in the structure we can also find works with Renaissance characteristics. In the early 19th century, the structure was renovated in neoclassical style by the architect Agostino Fantastici. Inside it is possible to admire the works of the painter Giovan Battista of Jacomo del Capanna, works by Cesare Maffei and numerous works of art made for the Piccolomini-Clementini family.

Siena (13 Km)

Eremo di Lecceto

The Hermitage of Lecceto dates back to 1223, although over the centuries it has undergone many reconstructions, it has remained almost intact. It was known as early as the fifteenth century as a mystical center of the activity of Saint Catherine of Siena, later becoming the home of the English theologian William Flete. The interior was renovated and has Baroque tastes, still preserving the fourteenth-century frescoes. In 1502 Cardinal Egidio da Viterbo was fascinated by the history of the building so much as to compose a written work.

Montalcino (19 Km)

Castello Poggio alle Mura

The Poggio alle Mura Castle was built in 1438 on a hill located between the river Orcia and Ombrone. Its ideal location has placed the fortress at the center of disputes between the Republic of Siena, the Aldobrandeschi and Florence. The ownership of the Castle has passed into management to several families including that of the Ptolemies and the Placid. The structure of the building has a square plan consisting of several buildings closed by a curtain wall. The property is currently owned by Banfi Spa, which has brought changes by adapting the fortress to a wine tourism center.

The Marquess together with his wife undertook an enormous land improvement programme in the area and amongst other things they also built several farmhouses (Lucciola Bella is one ), giving life to a new political and social era. The famous road with its cypress trees which leads to the farmhouse was created by the architect Cecil Pinsent who also designed the villa and the gardens at ‘La Foce’.
