VILLA MARIA IN CHIANTI

Rapolano Terme is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Siena in the Italian region Tuscany, located about 60 kilometres (37 mi) southeast of Florence and about 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Siena in the area known as the Crete Senesi.

As you wander through the cobblestone streets, you will notice the town's medieval architecture and beautiful churches. The main attraction, however, is the Terme di San Giovanni, a spa that has been in operation since the Roman times. You can soak in the thermal waters, indulge in a massage, or simply relax in the peaceful surroundings.

If you are a foodie, Rapolano Terme will not disappoint. The town is home to many restaurants that serve up traditional Tuscan dishes, such as wild boar ragù and pici pasta. Make sure to try the local wine, as well, which is produced in the surrounding countryside.
