Itinerary description
Very nice stage in the middle of Val d'Orcia's typical hills. Outstanding views!
To avoid a stage much over our "15 km / 400 m uphill" rule, we stopped at Gallina (way point for the bus stop just in front of a bar which offers delicious porchetta sandwiches) and went by bus to Bagni San Filippo. Bus line is 54A of bus company Autolinee Toscane (www.at-bus.it/it/linee-e-orari/siena-extraurbano-54a for timetables).
We wanted to stay at agriturismo Il Palazzo (directly located on via Francigena (way point), which was unfortunaly closed at that time. We finally stayed at Casale i Forni (way point), which offers short term rental appartments in a very nicely renovated old building. But owners only accept to rent for a minimum of 2 nights. This being said, we recommend it as you can enjoy a very nice garden with several BBQs, you are only 300 m away from San Filippo's outside natural baths (springs with water naturally surging at 50 degrees celcius, free access), and in the walking distance of 1.5 km to Bagni San Filippo village. So this option is worth considering if you ave enough time to ha ve a one day stop in San Filippo). I have inserted a way point of the bus stop when you arrive from Gallina (900 meters away from Casale i Forni.
For those who do not want to take a bus and prefer to walk to san Filippo, I have published a gps track obtained on Via Francigena's official website. 23 05 26 Francigena étape #12 partie 2 / Gallina - Bagni San Filipppo. Last information, a pilgrim hostel is available in Gallina.
The project: walk from San Miniato to Roma following via Francigena. We are targeting stages of 15 kilometres or less (up to 20 kilometres maximum) / 400 meters uphill maximum. We would like to sleep in decent hotels/B&B, enjoy good food and wine! A tip that changed our life after we discovered it: you can have your luggage carried from one hotel to the next by Bags Free (a small and reliable company we highly recommend) all along Via Francigena
