On the slopes of Monte Amiata, near Santa Fiora, amidst a landscape that is both hilly and mountainous, lies the Podere di Maggio, perched on a hill surrounded by ancient chestnut trees that resemble dancing figures.
This lovely hill overlooks the pristine valley of the Fiora River, whose waters provide refreshment in the summer and a soothing melody in the winter as all the streams swell and gurgle down toward the river.
Visitors to this place can enjoy the tranquility and silence that this location offers, perfect for writing, meditating, or resting.
Podere di Maggio is an organic farm that produces olive oil and chestnuts.
The agriturismo consists of five stone houses, each independent and fully immersed in nature.
The surroundings are quite enchanting: centuries-old chestnut groves, ancient terraced olive orchards, and streams flowing down to the Fiora River, where swimming is possible and encounters with wildlife are common. From here, you can explore Etruscan sites, medieval villages, nature reserves, abbeys, and hot springs (such as Saturnia and Bagni San Filippo).
On warm days, you can cool off in the spring water pool or take a plunge in the river just 10 minutes away.
The Tyrrhenian coast, with its beautiful beaches, is only an hour away from here.
