Bagno Vignoni, Siena surroundings

We’re not exaggerating if we say that Bagno Vignoni has one of the most charming places of the world: which other city of the world can boast about a square filled of thermal water that sprout at the temperature of 52°C? The town clustered around a big pool filled with hot spring water. The village is quite small, you can visit it in a few minutes and then dedicate yourself to the favourite activity of the tourists that go to Bagno Vignoni: immerse hands and feet in the streams of hot water that start from the square and cross all the town. This streams after crossing the town fall from the hill. Formerly this little rivers feed the mills of Bagno Vignoni (today the mills has been renovated and they can be visited) but today they are the best way to relax after a day passed visiting all the villages and the hills of Siena surroundings. For the ones who prefer an extended rest at the end of the town there’s a spring pool in which you can have a bath, you’ll emerge like a new you. It’s no accident that Lorenzo the Magnificent and Saint Catherine of Siena used to retire here, therefore the loggia that looks on the square is dedicated to Saint Catherine.
