San Quirico d’Orcia, a beautiful, walled commune set on a hilltop in southern Tuscany, Italy, is set within a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist base, due to its central location for visiting Pienza, Montalcino, and Montepulciano. The charming village, named after Saint Quiricus, grew rapidly from the 11th century, due to its proximity to the pilgrimage route of Via Francigena. From the picturesque crop of cypress trees at its entrance and the ancient fortified walls around the village to the gorgeous Romanesque churches, towers, and palazzos along the main road of Via Dante Alighieri and its magnificent gardens – this ancient village oozes old-world charm and transports you back to another era.

1. Elegant apartment near the village of Bagno Vignoni (from USD 137)
If you are a couple on a romantic getaway and wondering about where to stay in San Quirico d'Orcia, Italy, then look no further than this cozy Airbnb in the heart of Valdorcia in Tuscany. The one-bedroom rental is near the village of Bagno Vignoni, which is popular for its hot springs.
Steeped in the most authentic flavors of Italy, the interior is a sight to behold. The vibrant and aesthetic furnishings and decor will appeal to the tastes of even the most discerning traveler. Nestled on the second floor of a building, the apartment can be accessed by climbing three flights of stairs.

Tip from tour guide
Make some time to explore Bagno Vignoni during your stay. We visit the village to try local food, relax in the spa (for a fee), or take a picture with the thermal tub in the background. In Bagno Vignoni, there are about 30 registered inhabitants, 10 cats, including a very affectionate black one, and a colony of frogs. There are many hotels (some with thermal day spas) and restaurants. Here are some other interesting facts about the village:
1. The Etruscans, the Romans, and then the pilgrims of Via Francigena enjoyed the spa with great pleasure. In fact, what we see today in the small town are mostly medieval remains.
2. Santa Caterina of Siena had immersed herself in the hot springs, to heal self-inflicted flogging wounds. 3. Even doctors, for example, Lorenzo the Magnificent and Pope Enea Piccolomini, visited this place. 4. Tarkovskij filmed scenes from the movie Nostalgia here in 1982. 5. You can find four medieval mills here, and a drainage tub where every now and then, some daredevil tries to take a bath. 6. The area is spectacular and you can do a lot of trekking, ride a bike, enjoy other hot springs (some for free), and visit nearby places such as Pienza, Montalcino, and Montepulciano.
