The southern Val d'Orcia is less well known than its northern sister but is still a destination not to be missed.
It is worth taking the dirt road for a short visit to Castiglioncello del Trinoro.
On the way to Castiglioncello, the historic La Foce formal gardens are worth a visit. The gardens are open on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. March to November. You can consult the official opening hours here.
For a thermal experience in nature, then Bagni San Filippo offers hot baths in the natural pools of the stream.
On your way back, don't forget to book a dinner in Monticchiello hosted by Daria and her restaurant.
