The official Via Francigena route dips briefly into the famed Val d’Orcia from Siena to Viterbo, but as it speeds toward Rome it misses some of the Val d’Orcia’s greatest sights. We make up for this by adding to the Francigena’s itinerary with some wise and wonderful wine and hot springs locations. Along the way we enjoy beautiful Siena, charming Buonconvento, and charming and mysterious Abbadia San Salvatore on the slopes on Monte Amiata. We continue into Lazio to see the towns of Acquapendente, Montefiascone, and Viterbo. Sprinkle in several amazing hot spring locations like Bagno Vignoni and Bagni San Filippo and you have a fabulous walking tour of some of the best sights of Central Italy.
