Civita di Bagnoregio, 25 km
Nicknamed the “dying city” because of the action of the erosion and earthquakes, that have over many centuries tugged away the tufa rock. Civita di Bagnoregio is now like an island, only accessible across a bridge by foot, donkey or moped.
Bolsena Lake, 24 km
Lake Bolsena is Italy’s fifth-largest lake and one of Europe’s biggest crater lakes. It’s a popular place for recreational pursuits and is surrounded by volcanic sandy beaches where one can relax or swim.

Bagno Vignoni, 68 km
For millennia, the small hillside settlement of Bagno Vignoni, 8 miles south-west of Pienza, has been renowned for its volcanic springs. The Romans built baths and villas in the area.
However, it was during the Middle Ages that the village took on its current, unique shape. Its centrepiece is a deep, steaming pool of hot water — sitting right where its main square ought to be. Visitors can no longer bathe in Bagno Vignoni’s main 49m x 29m tank, but the piazza is wonderful and unique, a giant stone bath with a simple open loggia at one end, surrounded by immaculate stone houses, giving this piazza a typical renaissance look but with the most unexpected water twist.
