Bagni San Filippo<\/h2>\n

On the eastern slopes of Mount Amiata, bordering the Val d’Orcia, Bagni San Filippo<\/strong> is a thermal village whose waters have been known since antiquity. Its hot, therapeutic sulphurous waters flow at 48 degrees in the middle of a wood, in a magical setting called Fosso Bianco, filling natural pools of white limestone with small waterfalls. The most important is called “Balena Bianca”, the white whale<\/em> in English. Many pools are free for swimming.
One kilometre to the west, the cave of San Filippo<\/strong> was dug into a large rock. According to tradition, Saint Philippe Benizi retired there in 1269 to avoid being elected pope while he was one of the favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n

Vivo d’Orcia<\/h2>\n

On the heights of Mount Amiata, Vivo d’Orcia<\/strong> is located at an altitude of almost 900 meters and preserves beautiful churches and palaces, including below the ancient church called Chiesa dell’Eremo (San Marcelllo) which was in the old monastery of the Camaldolesi, before the year mile, and reworked in the sixteenth-seventeenth. The monastery was rebuilt as a palace by the Cervini family in the 16th century.
Going up to the south, a path crosses the wood and its streams, where you find the Ermitage Ermicciolo or Eremo del Vivo, a pretty Romanesque building in the middle of chestnut trees.<\/p>\n
