La Locanda del Loggiato is not an ordinary Bed & Breakfast, but a blast from the past. You will find simplicity, charm and romanticism. It is located in Bagno Vignoni, a village with natural spas in the Val d'Orcia, Tuscany.

The largest pool is located in the center of the town, and replaces the central square (lovely!). Here, however, it is not possible to swim, even if a transgression was made: after the italian victory of the World Cup in 2006.

You can swim in the Parco dei Mulini. There are those who say that bathing is prohibited, others are not. What is certain is that the inhabitants have always bathed here. Or you can go in the three spa hotels: the historic Albergo Le Terme (here the watsu massage is fantastic!), The luxurious Adler Thermae or the Posta Marcucci hotel (don't miss a bath under the stars!).

Terracotta floors, wooden beams and family furniture tell the story of this house, still owned by the Chigi Zondadari-Barabino family, as the entire village (or almost!).

Cypresses, olive groves and wheat fields surround the Locanda del Loggiato and the Village of Bagno Vignoni.
