Vallée de l'Ombrone, River valley in Tuscany, Italy

The Ombrone Valley stretches from the Chianti hills through the Crete Senesi area, reaching the Tyrrhenian Sea near Grosseto in southern Tuscany.

The valley served as a fundamental route for Etruscan settlements before Roman times, connecting inland Tuscany with the Mediterranean trading routes.

Local farmers maintain traditional chestnut groves in Monticiano, producing nuts that form the base of regional recipes and seasonal festivities.

Visitors can explore the valley through numerous hiking paths that connect medieval villages, with the main trail following the river for 22 kilometers.

The Terme di Petriolo natural hot springs, located along the Farma stream, offer year-round thermal bathing at 43 degrees Celsius.
