Bagno
Vignoni, the only place on earth where you can find a central village
square made of steamy water, is a tiny village on the top of a hill
and with a great tradition of healing baths. The Etruscans first
discovered the healing properties of thermal waters in Bagno Vignoni
The Romans used to come to Bagno Vignoni for both health reasons
and for relaxation and this exhaustive list includes Lorenzo the
Magnificent, Saint Catherine of Siena and Pope Pius II Piccolomini.
Alder Thermae is close to this historical hotspot and a visit there
will transport you back in time. You can experience its ancient
bathing culture in a completely natural surrounding.
The thermal mineral water that feeds Bagno Vignoni comes from the
Mount Amiata. This water trickles into the ground and dissolves
the soil’s minerals and sulphur from the limestone. This process
takes decades and it travels more than 40 km southwest to Bagno
Vinoni. The water that reaches the town and the Alder Thermae Resort
has a constant temperature of 50º C. This water is excellent
for its rejuvenating treatments and several other beauty treatments.
