Inside Tuscany’s thermal waters in Bagno Vignoni

Step into Renaissance wonder and Tuscan tranquility with this Florence-to-Val d’Orcia adventure! 🎨🌄 Begin the day at Florence’s understated gem, Chiesa di Ognissanti—a luminous Baroque church with serene frescos and the tomb of Botticelli. After soaking in art and history, travel to storybook San Quirico d’Orcia, with a can’t-miss stop at the magical thermal haven of Bagno Vignoni, where medieval charm meets soothing waters.

Start early at Chiesa di Ognissanti (Borgo Ognissanti, 42, 50123 Firenze; 09:00-13:00, 15:00-19:30, Mon & Wed–Sun, closed Tue). Wander quietly through the nave and side chapels—don’t forget to admire the Vasari painting and the mystical light filtered through stained glass. Insta-worthy angles? Snap the façade from the bustling street for old-meets-new Florence vibes, or capture the golden glow inside mid-morning.

Head south, winding through rolling hills to the picturesque center of San Quirico d’Orcia—perfect for a quick stroll and a coffee. Then, set your sights on the spa town of Bagno Vignoni. This tiny village’s thermal pool is the postcard heart of old town (Via delle Sorgenti, 34B, 53027 Bagno Vignoni). Linger by the steaming Roman baths surrounded by stone buildings; the best photos are taken in the soft light of late afternoon, when steam and sun play tricks on the water. If you fancy a dip, book a session at one of the town’s modern spas (historic baths are for viewing only).

Tips: Ognissanti is closed Tuesdays, so plan accordingly. In Bagno Vignoni, wear sturdy shoes—the cobbles can be slippery, especially when wet with spa mist!
