Osteria Il canto del maggio — Restaurant in Terranuova Bracciolini

We stayed here for 1 night on a little getaway from Florence. If I could do it again, I would definitely stay longer. ||||The dinner was absolutely amazing and easily one of the best top 5 food experiences of my life. Between my husband and I, we tried 8 different dishes and all of them were excellent. The wine that Simone suggested, after hearing our tastes and preferences, was also excellent. The service was not perfect (we were offered the dessert menu before my husband received his main dish, and we had to wait a long time to order, for example), but the most important part (the dinner!) was absolutely excellent (and so was the view!). The breakfast could be a bit more varied (too many sweet foods and not enough savory / something other than bread or pastry). ||||After living in Florence for a few weeks, this was one of the best nights sleep I got--fresh air, quiet nights, waking up fresh in the morning to the rooter. I enjoyed my first espresso in the cool, quiet early morning (so great that a kitchenette was in our room to make some coffee!) ||||The pool and the setting was beautiful, the gardens are beautiful, Simone was very friendly, and overall, it was a perfect getaway for our family, baby included. ||||If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely make sure to get out of Florence and head...

Perfect place for marriages!

We had the most romantic stay ever with our whole family in the summer of 2014 and I genuinely believe that it was above all because of Il Canto del Maggio. We rented 6 of their 7 delightful and very romantic apartments for the weekend in beautiful Tuscany. With its old and romantic setting Il Canto del Maggio is a wonderful place for a wedding. What is great about Il Canto del Maggio, is that you don’t have to amuse your guests in any way. They have a beautiful pool, a cosy terrace, a vegetable garden and fantastic food, our guest were totally amazed how relaxt a wedding could be. Even the children were relaxt and not a burden to the parents, while playing ball or finding bugs on the property. Host Simona Quirini stole my heart, because she arranged so much to make it a special day for us. I am so happy that we found this place. She genuinely made it a wedding to remember. We will definitely be back when we have the chance. Simona speaks English pretty well and makes insanely good desserts (and wedding cakes!!). It’s a family business, her dad is an incredible chef.. fingerlicking good food. Her husband makes delicious pizza’s and barbeques. If you’re looking for a great place to stay in the heart of Tuscany. Visit Simona and her family. You won’t be sorry. Enjoy!...
