Le Caldane

The thermal waters of Le Caldane emerge at 20 degrees Celsius and contain calcium salts, forming two natural pools surrounded by stone walls.

The thermal baths date back to Etruscan and Roman times, with records showing their use in 1260 before destruction by Sienese forces and restoration in 1440.

Located along the Via Francigena pilgrimage route, Le Caldane represents the thermal bathing traditions that connected different civilizations throughout Italian history.

The thermal complex remains accessible 24 hours a day throughout the year, allowing visitors to experience the mineral-rich waters at their convenience.

Natural stone formations contain the thermal springs, creating mirror-like water surfaces that reflect the surrounding woodland where a mill once operated.
