SITES AND ACTIVITIES
La Selva is situated in one of the most beautiful parts of Italy and is placed in the southern part of Tuscany.
We are very near the provinces of Umbria and Lazio.
The scenery around the property is typical of the pictures painted by the Renaissance artists. It has sweet hills and sweeping valleys, marked by noble cypress trees and adorned with vineyards, olive groves, and large forests of oaks, giving shade from the heat of the summer, the woods have trails and road for walks, mountain biking and horseback riding.
Our 370 Acres of fenced land is inhabited by wild animals:
Deer, wild goats, porcupines, wild boar, hedge hogs, fox, hares, squirrels
The climate is mild, except in July and August when the sun is very strong and hot.
Within a 15/30 minute drive, you can visit the art towns like Siena, Monte San Savino, Lucignano and Sinalunga.
In the direction of Chianti there is a constellation of little medieval villages and castles, full of history and each with there own personal story through the centuries.
In the direction of Siena there is the "Crete di Siena" a very special landscape that changes colour every month delighting artists from all over the world.
Within 30/45 minutes drive you can visit places like Cortona, Assisi, Perugia, Arezzo, Volterra, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Chiusi, Pienza, Montalcino, to name a few. Some are famous for their wines.
Many have an Etruscan background. These villages are always on very scenic and unbeaten roads.
The landscape continually changes, making one hold their breath in wonder at what beholds around every corner.
Then of course there is Florence, 45 minutes away.
The home of the Renaissance, with fantastic churches and huge museums full of glorious history and artistic wealth.
We can advise and give information on the various cities of art and museums, providing road maps.

Wir fanden es wunderbar und haben alles sehr genossen! Es war eine Vorabbesichtigung mit der Familie für eine grosse Hochzeit und wir denken, dass dies der richtige Ort sein wird! Das Haus ist toll, ein bisschen wie aus einer anderen Zeit, sehr gemütlich. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und die Gegend wunderschön. Außerdem erreicht man schnell Siena und auch Florenz (über Schnellstraße gar kein Problem).
Vielen Dank für die gute Betreuung.

It is a lovely place the house was a little worn. there was several things that didn't worked like the coffee machine, toaster and one of the ovens and the electricity to the
refrigerator didn't always work. we also needed some kitchen equipment. It was a little intrusive when the plumber came monday and fixed the sink in one of the bathroom But over all it was a very nice stay with a great view and good communication with the agency.

Mit einer grossen Gruppe von Freunden haben wir uns dieses Haus geleistet um die Toskana mal von einer anderen Seite zu sehen: mit Wein-Käse-Wurst- und Honigproben. Honig und Wein plus Weinkeller des Besitzers waren wunderbar!
Eine tolle Erfahrung.
