Podere di Maggio, an organic farm in a beautiful part of Tuscany; in the south-east, on the slopes of Mount Amiata. Here you can find the Seccatoio, a 60 m2 detached house on two floors, built in stone. Upstairs there is a bedroom with a double bed, on the ground floor a large living room with a spectacular view of the valley and Mount Amiata, a kitchen and a bathroom. Outside there is a terrace with barbecue, shaded by a pergola and a covered terrace from where you can enjoy the sunsets. In summer the house always remains cool thanks to the stone construction, in winter the house is heated with a centralized gas system. Up to 4 people can sleep here; 2 in the bedroom and 2 on a very comfortable sofa bed in the living room, which becomes a double bed or two separate beds. The natural swimming pool for common use is located about 50 m away from the house, but totally out of sight.

Nature and surroundings

The Fiora valley, rich in nature reserves, springs, streams and many uncontaminated woods populated by a vast wildlife. There are numerous beautiful medieval towns of cultural interest nearby. This rural house is located half an hour from the hot springs of Saturnia, Bagni San Filippo and others. The Tyrenian sea with its beautiful beaches and nature reserves can be reached in an hour. The whole area of the south of Tuscany is still authentic and not yet known by mass tourism.

    The little apartment, or actually cottage, is very nice and tastefully decorated. Fully equipped, even a washing machine. There is plenty of space around you, but if you have a question, someone is there to explain. On the site there are several accommodations (tents and apartments) but you don't really meet each other at all. Sometimes retreats are held, in principle you get nothing from it, except that once we could hear an outdoor session a little too loud (shouting to "release emotions"). Put on headphones and continued to enjoy. To each his own.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The grounds are incredibly beautiful with vegetation of trees, bushes and plants everywhere. You have beautiful views from the cottage. Our dog could wander around and play with the 2 dogs of the owners. On the terrace you have sun all day and in the background you can hear the cackling of the chickens. You really only hear sounds of nature; at dusk the wild boars come scurrying and even you can hear them nibbling, really special.

    Especially price/quality not up to par.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We enjoyed the beautiful place in the middle of greenery. Lots of animals! Cats, dogs, chickens, peacocks and every morning and evening wild boars, beautiful sight. We were welcomed by a nice girl who temporarily worked/lived on the farm. The owners were not introduced. Felt uncomfortable. It was very hot, we slept upstairs. It did cool off in the evening, but it was hotter upstairs than downstairs and sleeping without a fan was not doable in our experience. There was no fan, so we bought one. There were other things in the house that could be better. No sink, stop sink we only discovered on the last day in the bathroom. Rickety chairs. Sofa not really comfortable. No screen downstairs, lots of bugs back outside. Natural pool is there, but the steep path down does not invite to go there easily. For 800 euros you expect it to be better.

    We had a wonderful vacation. Made new friends: peacocks, chickens, cats and even a few wild boars.
