Weekend in Valdichiana Senese: hiking and revitalizing waters
A long weekend between land and water, trekking among historic mills in the surroundings of Sarteano and relaxation at the Chianciano spa
Earth and water are the two elements of the Valdichiana Senese. The earth, and the unique landscape of the Tuscan hills, find their maximum expression right in the Valdichiana Senese. Thermal waters flow in this territory since the times of the ancient Romans.
Discover these two elements in a long weekend, ideal for couples and groups of friends who are passionate about trekking but who cannot give up on relaxing at the spa.
The first day you will arrive in Sarteano, where you will stay. You can take advantage of your free day to visit the Archaeological Civic Museum and the Castle, an ancient medieval fortress, or explore the surroundings.
The second day you'll get to the heart of the holiday. After a visit to the Domenico Beccafumi Art Room in Sarteano, you will venture on the water path in Sarteano with a guide among centuries-old churches, old mills and Roman baths. You will find yourself walking along a charming flat path, which runs along two millennia of history. In fact, the path that descends towards the Astrone is dotted with small churches and was once scattered with 18 mills, of which only two ruins remain as evidence of the glorious past.
On the third day, after check out, you'll have time to relax in the Theia Thermal Pools in Chianciano Terme, pampered by the thermal waters.
