Amenities and feature
Location and distances
Situated on the side of Monte Amiata, the medieval borgo of Castel del Piano is a health resort surrounded by chestnut woods. It is an ideal holiday spot in all seasons thanks to its natural beauty (trekking paths, ski pistes, nature reserves etc). We are in a geographical area characterized by different scenarios: from the mountain top to the valleys sloping gradually towards the Maremma, on one side, and to the Val d'Orcia, on the other, until you get to vast cultivations of olives and vines. The property is an excellent starting point for the spa towns of Saturnia, Bagno Vignoni, Bagni San Filippo, Chianciano Terme and San Casciano dei Bagni, known for their exclusive wellness centres and spas. You can also find history, art, culture, cuisine and typical local products enclosed in the villages of Pienza, Montalcino, Sovana, Scansano and, towards southern Tuscany, Montepulciano, Sarteano and Cetona. Siena and Grosseto are both about an hour's drive away, as is the Maremma Regional Park and the beaches of Marina di Grosseto, Talamone and Castiglione della Pescaia. Many discoveries found in the immediate vicinity relating to the Paleolithic, Neolithic and the Apennine civilization and the Etruscan and Roman periods, make ancient origins of Castel del Piano. Perhaps the Etruscans exploited the mines of cinnabar (mercury) of Mount Amiata and even the earth "tubular" located near the village. 890, Casale Plana (Castel del Piano) is among the possessions of the great Benedictine-Cistercian Abbey of Abbadia San Salvatore. The Palio of Castel del Piano is held every year on September 8 and is preceded by the "parade", which is the allegorical representation of historical events between 1330 and 1571.
