Hospitality, Osteria "Gentile" with veg garden, Cooking School and a stunning infinity pool overlooking the valley: il Canto del Maggio, owned by Simona and her family, isn’t just a place to sleep — it’s a place where you meet a family deeply rooted in this land and in its rhythms.

Here guests are welcomed into six charming units that reflect a rare and authentic form of hospitality: the Albergo diffuso—literally, a ‘scattered hotel’. Developed in Italy, this model revitalizes once-abandoned villages by blending comfort with local tradition in a truly immersive experience- in fact the "borgo" is a shared community between locals that live here permanently, and travelers that was born in the late 1980's.

Our collaboration with this placa was born to promote a network of local chefs, farmers, winemakers, guides, and hospitality professionals — all working together to create meaningful moments that we hope will make your stay one to remember.
My team (I am Tuscany) and I will take care of the accommodation side of your experience — from the moment you book to the day you arrive. Before your stay, we’ll coordinate with you to plan any extra services or personalized experiences, so everything is ready and tailored to your needs before you arrive.
Simona, the soul of this place, will welcome you into her world: her home, her kitchen, around her table, or walking through the vegetable garden — the orto. On the plate, a cuisine that arises spontaneously: the garden decides the menu, and we simply follow its lead.

Together, we can plan special dinners in the garden or by the pool, enjoy breakfast on the terrace or your private patio, and explore much more — from local farmers’ markets and tastings to our favorite go-to places in the area.

Available experiences include:
-Harvesting ingredients directly from the garden and discovering the joy of simple, farm-to-table cooking
-Themed culinary workshops (vegetarian, pastry-making, regional cuisine)
-Activities that immerse you in the natural beauty, culture, and traditions of the area
-Private meals (including breakfast) served anywhere on the property
-Pop-up events hosted by the restaurant or the outdoor kitchen
-Private events and retreats tailored to your needs

We inform our guest of the need to rent a car because it's the only way to travel around freely (no Uber, not many taxis, not much public transportation). Free parkings.
Transfer services and car rental options available, ask for more information at the time of booking.

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE: We design meaningful, “like a local” itineraries — personalized, original, and far from mass-market routes.

Authentic & Human
Our experiences are emotional, educational, and built around real people, traditions, and stories — not checklists.

First-Hand Expertise
We scout every place ourselves and constantly grow our local network to ensure genuine, high-quality experiences.

A Boutique Alternative to Mass Tourism
Most agencies rely on large wholesalers; no foreign provider can know Italy the way we do — with daily, on-the-ground presence.

Our Philosophy
Slow, respectful, intentional travel.
Quality over volume.
Growth only if aligned with our values.
