Description
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.

This Podere di Maggio is truly a beautiful place, having been around since before 1650.
We've only lived here for 15 years, and we enjoy it immensely!
Situated on the slopes of Monte Amiata, in the valley of the Fiora River, and surrounded by natural parks with a landscape that genuinely feels like it’s from 1650, we established this agriturismo to delight in welcoming people who appreciate locations like this.

In the surroundings of Podere di Maggio, you will find beautiful natural parks and protected areas, along with renowned hot springs such as Saturnia, Bagni San Filippo, and San Casciano dei Bagni. These destinations are ideal for peaceful walks in nature or indulging in a rejuvenating thermal bath.
The charming medieval villages nearby are waiting to be explored and remain largely untouched by mass tourism. Notable among these are the tuff towns, like Sorano, Sovana, and Pitigliano, set in a picturesque landscape rich in Etruscan archaeological sites.
Additionally, famous art cities such as Siena, Orvieto, Perugia, and Assisi are within an hour or so from Podere di Maggio. For art enthusiasts, a visit to the Daniele Spoerri Park is a must; nestled in nature, it features a stunning collection of works by internationally acclaimed contemporary artists. For those wanting to venture a bit further, the Tarot Garden and the Bomarzo park are perfect for a day trip.
The Tyrrhenian coast, with its lovely beaches, is just an hour away. Uccellina is one of the quieter beaches, located within the Maremma National Park. From the Podere, you can easily walk to the Fiora River, where you can cool off in its clear waters or continue on a stroll to the natural waterfall.
If you're looking for a moment of relaxation, a hammock under a tree near the house can be a wonderful option. In winter, Mount Amiata offers ski facilities for winter sports enthusiasts.

Ce que disent les hôtes
The property is highly regarded for its peaceful setting surrounded by nature and its spectacular views. Accommodation, including renovated farmhouses and glamping tents, is well cared for, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Hosts Rita and Peter are often mentioned for their friendliness, warm welcome, and attention to guests. The place is ideal for relaxing, also welcoming guests with pets, and serves as a good base to discover local thermal baths and towns. Cleanliness is generally very good, though some guests noted minor issues in shared areas like the kitchen.

We stayed at Podere di Maggio for a birthday celebration. We slept in one of the glamping tents at the farmhouse! It was a truly beautiful experience for us adults, but especially for my 12-year-old daughter. I had never tried this solution before and staying so close to nature and the sounds of the woods, but with all the comforts of a real bed (which was also very comfortable), was really nice, the cool night air and the soft duvet were the best! The carefully curated ethnic decor and extreme attention to detail made everything special, the warm light filtering through the handmade terracotta lampshades by Rita is intimate and suggestive. Rita and her husband Peter immediately showed themselves to be special people, perfect hosts, attentive and very helpful. They welcomed us with open arms, making us feel at home right away. Everything is a perfect balance of art, nature, beauty, and zen harmony. Every corner of the garden is a burst of life, with many varieties of plants cared for by Peter, who is also a garden designer, every glimpse is a wonder, it feels like being in a country home decor magazine. The family's dogs and cats kept us company... everything was perfect. I would go back tomorrow! Highly recommended to everyone to recharge with good energy.

The place is very beautiful. There are several old farmhouses (even a tent) that have been very well adapted by Peter and Rita, the two very kind managers. Tranquility, lots of greenery, flowers, beautiful panorama. A little paradise just a few kilometers from Santa Fiora.

Beautiful nature, excellent hosts. The cottage "il seccatoio" is functional, practical, and well-heated. Great holiday for those traveling with pets, lots of green space on the property.
Absolute relaxation.

On the slopes of the Tuscan Lung, among the woods of Monte Amiata, a place of peace built over the years stone by stone like the condensed image of a long love story. Excellent base for exploring the fascinating lands of tuff and hot springs, Podere di Maggio is itself a center where to find inner harmony, cared for by Peter and Rita and lulled by the gentle breeze, bright colors, intense scents of flowers, the silence of civilization in which to rediscover the thousand sounds of nature. We will come back.

Everything very pleasant; the cute apartment, furnished with taste and simplicity; the location really beautiful. The managers very kind, nice, and very discreet. The animals (dogs and cats) well-mannered but affectionate. We had a truly memorable weekend.
