About Gambassi Terme
Gambassi Terme sits at 332 metres, about 35 km south-west of Florence. It has used its present name since 1977, taken from thermal baths found in the area since antiquity. The baths stand in Benestare Park between Gambassi and Montaione and use saline-bromine-iodine water. In the Early Middle Ages pilgrims on the Via Francigena passed through, and the Romanesque pieve of Santa Maria Assunta dates from the 12th century. From the Middle Ages the area was known for glass, and a permanent exhibition shows around 3,000 archaeological pieces. The homes are scattered around the area over several kilometres. Nearly every one has a pool, most have a fireplace, and many sleep eight or more.
Is Gambassi Terme right for you?
- Best for
- Larger groups and families wanting a pool in quiet hill country
- Not for you if
