300mt. far from La Selva farmhold, there is Villa Boscarello.
Villa Boscarello is nestled in the rolling hills of the “ crete senesi”, the clay region in the heart of Tuscany, 34 km south of Siena , a territory rich in history and incredibly beautiful landscapes and dates back to the 17th century.
It was originally restored in 1802 and than again, restored and modernized to its final state, from 1995 to 2000.
The villa is part of the “ Fattoria La Selva “, a large farm spanning 212 hectars ( 524 acres) and is owned by Duccio Pometti , a descendant of the famous and noble 15th century Socini family, notable bankers, notaries and theologians of Siena.
Fattoria La Selva , with its own olive groves and vineyards, is half an hour’s drive away from the famous artistic and historic towns of Pienza, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Cortona and the celebrated abbeys of Monte Oliveto Maggiore and Sant’Antimo and it is within a stone’s trow of the famous wine regions producing Chianti Classico, Brunello and Vino Nobile.
The Villa, with its own private swimming pool from which the views are particularly spectacular stretching the eye as far as Siena and Monte Amiata, offers relaxing and intimate stay in a luxuriously refine atmosphere.
Next to the Villa is a smaller property “ Bellaria” a traditional brick building typical of the region, once used as a farm out building, but now beautifully converted into a self contained apartment.
The Villa can accommodate a maximum of 16 persons or, in conjunction with Bellaria, a maximum of 20 persons.
The large living-rooms with their elegant ceilings and antique family furniture, offer a real “ old Tuscany “ atmosphere.
Duccio and his wife Daniela were personally responsible for the recent restoration of the Villa which they undertook with extreme care, being particularly attentive to preserving the ancient architectural characteristics, but ameliorating with elegant modernizations.
The Villa Boscarello itself has 8 elegantly furnished rooms, with either a double or two single beds, all with large, luxurious bathroom facilities, including a shower or Jacuzzi, a telephone and a mini bar.
The smaller Bellaria property has 2 double bedrooms , each with its own bathroom facilities, both equipped with Jacuzzis, and a telephone.
Duccio and Daniela personally run the property themselves, as well as producing their own organically-grown extra virgin olive oil and highest quality wines.
On the main floor of the Villa is a large dining room with a central fireplace , boasting its own wine cellar, in which you can enjoy wine tasting and typical Tuscan cooking, including products of the farm and the delectable white and black truffles of the region.
