Settled in the heart of the Umbrian hills, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and sunflower fields, La Selva is a beautifully restored 14th century farmhouse with every comfort and modern amenity.
The main house comprises of master bedroom with walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom, 3 guest double bedrooms, children’s bedroom with 3 single beds (one on a mezzanine) and 2 bathrooms on the top floor; on the ground floor, a large, eat-in country kitchen, a den, additional full bathroom, 2 dining rooms, and an enormous living room that looks out to the exquisite view of hills, valleys and distant mountains.
The converted barn is equipped with a huge family room incorporating a living room area, gym corner with weights and elliptical trainer, table tennis, a large mezzanine with TV/DVD and a full bathroom.
In addition to the oversized infinity pool is a hot-tub in the shade of a giant oak tree from where one can enjoy, year-round, the ever-changing panorama. The paved deck area between the two buildings is naturally shaded by trees so one can enjoy eating 'al fresco' even on the hottest days.
A special barbecue area, equipped with a huge wooden “picnic table” and benches enables guests to enjoy the typical local cooking tradition while watching the sun-set.
La Selva is close to famous tourist destinations such as Spoleto, Montefalco, Assisi, Perugia and Todi as well as many beautiful historical villages that each offer their own individual character. There are supermarkets, farmer’s markets, butchers and bakeries very close by as well as wonderful, authentic Umbrian restaurants.
The caretakers live on the premises and discreetly manage the agriculture on the property. The house is cleaned once a week and, if desired, the caretaker’s wife prepares home-made bread, collects the fresh eggs , and will keep the guests supplied with a constant variety of vegetables grown from the garden on the property. She can also clean, do laundry and prepare simple meals. These services must be requested and are charged additionally.
La Selva is a haven of beauty and tranquility from where the only sounds you will hear are those of the tractors in the fields, dogs barking in the distance or cicadas hailing the arrival of evening. While it offers a view from every point of the house, you enjoy total privacy and the sensation of being alone and at one with the beauty of the natural surroundings.
