ABOUT
Welcome to agriturismo and glamping Pereti, a little corner of paradise in Maremma, Toscana.
We are very happy you found us here.
Our amazing story enfolded shortly after Gaia met his future wife Maitreyi in 2011 in Sri Lanka. At the time we both lived in our homeland, the Czech Republic. We had our work there, families, friends, as well as all social, economic and other ties. Gaia, who worked in the USA for 20 years as a music conductor, had now started his new investment company in Prague, and Maitreyi ran her production agency. It only seemed logical that our lives would continue in Prague.
After several long months of fruitless search for our new home, which we wanted to be near Prague while also surrounded by nature, I had asked my wife Maitreyi: “Could you envision more a life we want to live rather than the house we want to buy?” She closed her eyes and started dreaming:
“I see a warm place with plenty of sunlight, natural beaches, warm weather a year around. I see a peaceful place in the midst of rolling hills, I see our family in close connection with nature. I see our own organic vegetable garden and organic fruit trees. I also imagine a small bed & breakfast so we could share our dream with others.”
These words made it immediately clear to me, why we could not find our home in Prague! I responded without hesitation: “I love your dream! Let’s live it.” Let’s raise our children in a place where they would be surrounded by nature, and where we could make wise choices for their future”. When I asked Maitreyi whether she could see a specific location of her dream, she responded: “It’s a warm place near the sea. I see southern Europe, perhaps Italy”. When I suggested Tuscany, she responded: “Yes!”
The same day we told our closest family that we are moving to Tuscany. My mother was laughing in disbelief, Maitreyi’s mother was angry.
