Casa Selvola, is part of a notable farm founded at the beginning of 1940’s, which is renowned for a wonderful production of the great San Giovese wine and the fantastic extra virgin oil, characteristic of the entire Italy, especially in Tuscany. Casale Selvola is immersed in the Alta Valdera, in between Pisa and Volterra, in an estate of about 500 hectares. The property dates back to the beginning of the early 11th century and has seen the change of hand from Monastery (Benedettini followed by Camaldonesi) to farm around the 19th century. The splendour of this wonderful structure also offers the possibility to celebrate amazing events and weddings. The property has the typical style of a Tuscan farmhouse bordered by oak and cypress forests, vines and olive groves.
The house consists of two floors. The ground floor is made up of a spacious living room with a stone centre fireplace, a welcoming dining room, and a professional kitchen. Also, on this floor there is a twin bedroom (joinable beds) with en-suite bathroom with shower.
A stone staircase, leads on the first floor composed by seven bedrooms all with en-suite bathroom. There are two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms with bath, one double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with shower, four twin bedrooms (with joinable beds) with en-suite bathroom with shower. All the bedrooms are decorated with antique Tuscan furniture, “cotta” flooring and wooden ceiling beams.
The garden farmhouse is surrounded by a spacious garden immersed amongst the woods and olive groves. A wonderful pergola has been created with direct access from the living room under which guests can enjoy memorable moments and meals. Also, nearby the property there is an antique wood oven and BBQ. Situated at about 15 m from the house there is the swimming pool, which measures about 15 x 7 m with a variable depth of 80 cm to 2.70 m, accessible using the Roman staircase. The pool is covered in a light blue PVC cover which gives the pool an intense blue colour. The pool is equipped with a diving board, sun loungers for relaxation under the large trees.
