Chianciano Terme Tourist Guide

Surrounded by the hillsides of Chianti, a beautiful area noted for its splendid landscape and excellent wines, close to Montepulciano and Chiusi, lies Chianciano Terme, a small village with little more than seven thousand inhabitants, attracting tourists all-year-round to its thermal therapeutic waters with avant-garde treatments considered beneficial also for the kidneys.

The healing properties of the waters at Chianciano Terme have been renowned for as long as the Etruscan period and the Romans. The present thermal centre was opened in 1915, the year in which Angelo Banti founded the “Chianciano Thermal Spa Company”.

Today, Chianciano Terme is the ideal destination for wellness holidays dedicated to body health, where visitors can relax and be pampered by professional staff at the various thermal spa centres.

Chianciano not only offers thermal spa therapy but is also home to historic and artistic attractions; the ancient castle, Conti Manenti, the medieval watchtower Torre dell’orologio, the fifteenth century Misericordia Church and the seventeenth century fountain situated in Piazza Matteotti, the Podestà building dating back to the second century A.D, the late-renaissance church Chiesa della Rosa and the ancient city gates of San Giovanni, Rivellini and Del Sole.
