Description
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 Il Canto Del Maggio

Property Summary
Nestled in the heart of a sweeping 40-hectare estate in Monteriggioni, Italy, Borgo Gallinaio is an extraordinary vacation rental that captures the timeless elegance of 15th-century Tuscan architecture. Framed by a lush expanse of Turkey oaks, holm oaks, and olive trees, this historic fortified hamlet sits within the area of the Sienese Montagnola, offering guests an immersive retreat into one of the most evocative landscapes in all of Tuscany. The original architecture of the borgo has remained beautifully intact, with the characteristic stratification of its centuries-old buildings still clearly visible, lending the property an authenticity that is rare and deeply compelling. Once through the surrounding walls, guests are welcomed into a generous internal courtyard, around which all the entrances to the residential units open, creating a sense of community and grandeur that defines the entire experience.
The property is exceptionally well-equipped for large groups, offering a private swimming pool set within a vast park, extensive outdoor yard areas thoughtfully arranged for relaxation and al fresco dining, high-speed Internet WiFi connectivity throughout, and a large dedicated parking area adjacent to the structure. The generosity of the outdoor spaces, combined with the scale and beauty of the interiors, makes Borgo Gallinaio an ideal setting not only for extended family stays but also for events and ceremonies of the highest caliber.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Borgo Gallinaio are nothing short of remarkable, extending across approximately 4 hectares of parkland that form the immediate surroundings of the borgo. These grounds encompass areas paved in traditional terracotta, adorned with seats and small tables, alongside sweeping lawns embellished with tall trees, olive trees, fruit trees, and dense clusters of aromatic herbs. The central courtyard, onto which all the residential entrances open, has been thoughtfully arranged as an outdoor dining area, complete with tables and chairs, a wood-fired oven, and a barbecue, making it a natural gathering point for guests.
