In the most intimate and true heart of Tuscany, along the antique pilgrim way "Via Francigena" connecting Canterbury (U.K) with Rome, you will find what is probably the smallest and most fascinating village on this earth: Bagno Vignoni.

The tiny village center is a large rectangular basin in which hot thermal spring waters flow from its underground volcanic origins. The healing properties of the thermal waters in Bagno Vignoni were discovered first by the etruscans and then by the Romans - great lovers and connoisseurs of thermal baths. Illustrious visitors such as Pope Pius Piccolomini , Saint Catherine of Siena, Lorenzo de Medici, not to mention poets and writers through the ages that have all searched use of the therapeutic waters in the village.
