Let us discover an authentic jewel of Tuscany, nestled in the rolling hills of the Val d’Orcia and Val di Chiana: San Casciano dei Bagni, an unmissable destination for those seeking wellness, culture and breathtaking landscapes.
San Casciano, in the province of Siena, is renowned for its thousand-year-old thermal waters as well as its historical, architectural and natural heritage: a gem to discover for those who wish to immerse themselves in the tradition and beauty of a unique territory.
AN ANCIENT AND FASCINATING HISTORY
The origins of San Casciano dei Bagni date back to Etruscan times, when its thermal springs were already renowned for their therapeutic properties. According to tradition, also handed down by the Florentine scholar Domenico Maria Manni between the 17th and 18th centuries, the foundation of the ‘Bagni Chiusini’ is attributed to Porsenna, the Etruscan lucumon of Chiusi. These baths, appreciated for the efficacy of their waters and their strategic position, close to Rome and the Via Cassia, were later also enthusiastically frequented by the Romans. Illustrious visitors from Roman times included Emperor Octavian Augustus and Triaria, wife of Emperor Vitellius. During the Middle Ages, the village developed around the castle and churches, preserving its ancient charm. Today, strolling through the narrow streets of the village, you can breathe in an atmosphere of times gone by and admire beautifully preserved historical buildings.
THE THERMAL BATHS: NATURAL WELLNESS
San Casciano dei Bagni is famous for its thermal waters: 42 springs at an average temperature of 40 °C with a total flow of about 5.5 million litres of water per day. A figure that places this resort in third place in Europe for thermal water flow rate. These waters, rich in sulphur, calcium and magnesium, are ideal for regeneration and treatments. The thermal baths are accessible both through free pools immersed in nature, such as those at Bagno Grande, and also at luxury facilities.
The Fonteverde Lifestyle & Thermal Retreat spa complex is one of the most prestigious in central Italy, combining luxury, relaxation and the beauty of the landscape to provide a unique experience.
NATURE AND DREAM LANDSCAPES
The landscape surrounding San Casciano dei Bagni is a triumph of beauty. Its hills, dotted with cypress and olive trees, alternate with vineyards and woods, creating a typically Tuscan landscape, and offering a perfect setting for long walks, cycling excursions or simple moments of contemplation in front of breathtaking views.
In addition, the proximity to locations in the Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO heritage site, makes San Casciano an ideal starting point for exploring other Tuscan beauties.
San Casciano dei Bagni is synonymous with well-being and natural beauty, but also with elegance. The countryside is home to prestigious historical residences and tastefully restored farmhouses, many of which are located in incredibly scenic locations, combining traditional architecture with modern comfort.
San Casciano dei Bagni therefore represents a perfect fusion of past and present, tradition and luxury, relaxation and discovery: the ideal place for those seeking a refuge far from chaos, where they can regenerate body and mind, surrounded by breathtaking nature and a timeless atmosphere.
