Next, check into Hotel Lory , a three-star family-run hotel that sits between the thermal baths and the historic old town. Wrap up for dinner, which is one of my favorite dining experiences. The husband and wife who own Hotel Lory dawn white dinner jackets and take on the service with a set menu served on monogrammed plates.
The perfect pink and powder blue decor makes it feel as Wes Anderson inspired as Bar Luce. Never say no to a generous glass of Montepulciano with your bistecca alla fiorentina, but make sure to save room for the homemade cake served at the end of the meal.
While the dining room is adorably retro, the bedrooms are completely updated and absolutely spotless. Head upstairs for an early night so you can get an early start on relaxation.
The newly renovated pools at Theia are the perfect way to experience the thermal water. The 7 pools four outdoor and three indoor are filled with water from the Sillene spring. The naturally warm water is between 33 and 36C F , which makes for a warm but never scalding dip. The water is rich in minerals and has anti-inflammatory properties so the point here is to relax and recover more than to do any serious laps.
To that end, there are underwater recliners and all kinds of jets and waterfalls. Theia is family-friendly and there are kids pools to keep the littlest swimmers happy — while also giving the kids their own area to play around in so that the adults have a quieter experience in the upper pools. G and I even took a baby swim class together to get him used the water and he loved it. The ball pit was also a hit. The centro storico is about a 5-minute drive from the thermal pools, but we stopped back at Hotel Lory to rest before setting out on foot.
Admire the clocktower and take in the views of the Tuscan countryside, then stop for a coffee or a quick drink on the terrace of Bar Centro Storico. When the sun sets, its time to mozy across the street to Bradi Toscani.
The gourmet food shop and eatery is set inside a historic butcher shop and you can still see some details of the original store. I do like cured meats but I am no fanatic — except when it comes to Cinta Sinese. These heritage black and white pigs get their name because of the marking which makes it look like they are wearing a belt. And for some reason, they are disproportionately delicious.
The high altar and the two side altars date back to At the end of Via Casini the Tower of the clock rises elegant and sober with its medieval structure that has been rehandled in different epoches, there is set the coat of arms of Medici.
Along Via Casali, leaning from the walls, it appears a vast and beautiful panorama on the valley of the Volpaie dominated by the two peaks of the Amiata Mountain and the Cetona Mountain. As you cross a brief slope you arrive at Piazza Matteotti where still the palaces of the age of the lords of Chianciano and the building of the Town Hall overlook, in the centre a beautiful fountain with hexagonal plant rises, it was realized in the XVIII century; from the left side of the square you enter Castello Manenti.
The altarpiece representing St. Giovanni Battista that sustains Chianciano showing the ancient order of the town is also very interesting. Take back Via Solferino and you arrive in the square in front of the Collegiate, or church of St. Giovanni Battista. Of the ancient thirteenth-century construction just the beautiful Romanesque portal remains, characterized only by an ornamental motive with concentric arches.
It was built in the first half the XIII century on a precedent hexagonal construction. Our run continuing through Via della Croce, we find the church of the Company, that preserves an interesting fresco of the XV century that represents The betrayal of Judas and the Capture of Jesus Christ and other images representing the Saints. You then come down to the Porta del Sole, made of bricks with two side towers. Gone beyond the Porta del Sole, after few meters, the temple of the Madonna of the Rose rises, the most beautiful church of Chianciano built among and Baldassarre Lanci da Urbino was the inventor of the complex that shows its Greek cross structure.
The church takes the name from the inside preserved fresco, that represents the Madonna that hands a rose to her Child, work of a Sienese artist of the XV century, inside there is also another fresco, the so-called Madonna of the Jails a Sienese work of the fourteenth century. Going up again toward the historical centre take Via XXV Aprile walking along the walls you are again in Viale Dante where we can conclude our visit going to the Archaeological Civic Museum of the Waters.
