Tuscany boasts several different spa towns but one with an incredible long-standing reputation and an array of remarkable facilities is the beautiful gem that is Chianciano Terme. Encircled by the scenic Val d’Orcia and the Val Di Chiana, its verdant landscape stretches into the town's parks and sprinkled throughout are various spas and thermal baths. In fact, Chianciano Terme stands proudly as one of Europe's premier thermal cities and Italy's top health resorts with its therapeutic waters, famed for liver detoxification, being the key draw to the area. Book a villa in Chianciano Terme and come experience it for yourself!

As far back as the 5th century BC, Chianciano Terme has been known for its restorative properties. The Etruscans built a temple in the area honouring the god of Good Health, closely situated to the Silene springs and from the Romans, including the famed poet Horace, to modern-day travellers, these springs have been celebrated as a perfect place to relax and unwind.

An utterly magical place for a luxury escape in Tuscany, here is why we’re totally obsessed with Villa della Regina at the moment…

The Prettiest Garden In Tuscany?

The crete senesi, or the Clay hills of Siena, are a truly stunning part of Tuscany's countryside. For those looking to take in the most typical and postcard-worthy scenery, it is a must-see. You can browse our villas in Montepulciano and luxury villas in Pienza and come discover the natural beauty of this area for yourself.

However, there is also a wealth of natural beauty that is not entirely natural. By this, we mean that man has had a hand in its creation; in the creation of some exceptional gardens.

Villa La Foce is a historic villa and farm, overlooking the Val d'Orcia that boasts a wonderful garden. While the villa was built in the 15th century, the gardens date to the early 20th century and can be attributed to Antonio Origo and his Anglo-American wife Iris, who bought the property in 1924.

Come Take In The Relaxing Waters Of Chianciano Terme

Chianciano Terme can trace its origins to the 5th century BC, when the Etruscans arrived and built a temple that was dedicated to the god of Good Health, close to the Silene springs. Those springs and the waters of Chianciano have been a tourist destination and an attraction for their medicinal properties since Roman times and Horace himself is known to have bathed in and imbibed the waters.

Chianciano continued to both draw visitors and function as a regular town over the centuries but, in the 20th century, the springs specifically attracted the attention of developers and neoclassical buildings and facilities were built in the 20s and 30s. In the 40s, the then Fascist-controlled state took possession and destroyed and replaced these, drawing up a new plan under architects Loreti and Marchi. This plan was adjusted by the Town Technical Office of Chianciano in 1958 and eventually passed in 1961 and, today, there is the Old Town and New Town where the thermal spring spas were designed.

Many will have seen this image of the Tuscan countryside before. This striking and beautiful image of a sharply winding road, lined by cypresses and cutting through vivid lush fields and old stone buildings is the kind of almost unreal postcard-perfect corners of Tuscany that need to be seen with one's own eyes to be believed. If you are a fan of scenic settings and pretty views and want to see it for yourself, just find a vacation rental in the Val d'Orcia and come and take it in.
