Chianciano Terme and surroundings

What to do in Val d'Orcia, Valdichiana and authentic Tuscany

Staying in Chianciano Terme means immersing yourself in the heart of the most iconic Tuscany, amidst rolling hills, tidy vineyards, solitary cypresses and villages suspended in time. An extraordinary territory opens up within a 60-minute drive: the Val d'Orcia UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Valdichiana Senese, cities of art, historic wineries, nature trails and small hidden treasures.

The Thermal Baths thus become the ideal starting point for a slow journey of wellness, culture and landscape.
