Castiglione d'Orcia is located on a hill of Monte Amiata and includes the localities of Bagni San Filippo. Bagni San Filippo is a piece of paradise in the city of Castiglione d'Orcia, known and used by the ancient Etruscans and Romans for its healing properties.

It is a spa town of modest size composed of sulphurous waters, the place is made suggestive by the presence of limestone deposits on large boulders that form white concretions of calcium carbonate and small waterfalls. According to popular tradition, each boulder bears the likeness of large animals, one of which is the great white whale. Walking along the torrent of warm waters, which reach 28 °, you immerse yourself in large tree-lined paths, which lead to the Fosso Bianco pool where the deep waters mix with the cold water of the stream to give the visitor the opportunity to totally immerse yourself in its waters to fully enjoy the view and the properties of its water.
