In the enchanted Orcia valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site, lies the thermal village of Bagno Vignoni, a unique landscape of gentle hills, Sienese clay formations, vineyards and rows of cypress trees stretching beneath wide skies and rare silences.
The Hotel Le Terme
Within this village Le Terme Hotel welcomes guests inside an elegant fifteenth century residence designed by architect Bernardo Rossellino and traditionally used as the summer retreat of Pope Pius II Piccolomini.
The location is exceptional, overlooking the historic “Piazza delle Sorgenti”, the large Etruscan era thermal pool where water flows naturally at 49 °C.
Inside the property, guests find thoughtfully appointed rooms with views of the village or the surrounding hills, dining that highlights local ingredients and an atmosphere designed for those seeking a regenerating stay far from the bustle. The experience is completed by the opportunity to explore the natural landscape on foot or by bicycle, before returning to the quiet and well being of the hotel’s thermal SPA.
Architecture, nature and thermal water in the hotel’s SPA
The hotel's SPA is designed as a contemporary oasis set within a historic building, where authentic materials, glimpses of the original palace and carefully reimagined spaces come together to create an environment that speaks to both body and mind.
The thermal waters naturally flow through the village, and the property uses them not only for its pools but also, with an eye to energy efficiency, to warm the SPA areas themselves.
The treatments range from Roman style saunas to personalized rituals. The intention is to offer guests an authentic pause, capable of engaging all the senses through views of the surrounding countryside, the genuine materials that invite touch, the sound of water and the scents and flavours of the place.
The treatment rooms are furnished with care using wood, stone and artisanal details that recall the true spirit of Tuscany. The relaxation areas open onto the village or private gardens, creating a bridge between historic architecture and modern comfort.
Within the wellness path of the SPA, the advanced technology of Aquaform’s Sensus experience showers is seamlessly integrated, conceived to elevate the sensory experience. The Sensus model offers calibrated water jets, temperature variations, luminous chromatic effects and delicate aromas, turning each cycle into a ritual that guides guests into deep relaxation and reawakens the senses.
The installation in Bagno Vignoni has been designed to blend with the historic architecture without being intrusive, with understated finishes, clean lines and carefully balanced lighting that highlights the contrast between the movement of the water and the surrounding stillness. The result is a multisensory experience that enhances the thermal stay and makes it truly memorable.
With Sensus, the SPA offers not just water and warmth, but a narrative in which architecture, landscape and technology work together to create a complete dimension of well being.
