| The
tiny mediaeval hamlet of Bagno Vignoni is a 40 minute drive from Siena
and about an hour from Florence, Arezzo, Orvieto and Perugia. Visitors
can relax by the thermal pools or bathe in the famous chalky waters, which
are reputedly beneficial to bones and skin. If you are staying for a few
days there are a number of spas in the vicinity - each noted for a different
curative property - Bagni San Filippo and San Casciano dei Bagni are both
within half an hour's drive. |
Wine
enthusiasts have the delights of Montalcino and Montepulciano close at
hand, both offering fine wines based on the sangiovese grape. La Locanda del Loggiato
will happily arrange excursions to these towns, as well as to Siena and
San Quirico. Guests with a taste for the finer things in life should also
take the opportunity to taste local olive oils, wines and delicious pecorino
cheeses. |
