July is when Poggio ai Santi slows to the rhythm of summer. The light softens late, the air smells of sea and rosemary, and the best tables are the ones set outdoors, under the trees.
Every Thursday evening, Baru lights the grill at il Salotto and the night turns to a feast of just-caught fish, herbs from the garden and Tuscan wine. There is no rush and no ceremony — only good fire, good company and the slow Tyrrhenian dusk. Come for sunset, stay for the stars.
Mornings, too, begin gently. On Tuesdays we pair foraging with yoga: a walk to read the land and gather what it offers, then practice on the deck among the olives before the heat settles in. It is the quietest, clearest hour of the day.
None of this is an add-on. Here, hospitality is a means rather than an end — a way to share the garden, the fire and the calm of a place that is cared for slowly. The fish dinners and the yoga mornings are simply summer, the Poggio way.
See the July calendar for dates and book your spot — places by the fire are limited.
