The area surrounding Agriturismo Le Selvole is one of the most picturesque in southwestern Tuscany, situated in the heart of the Alta Val di Cecina. Here, the countryside remains unspoiled and genuine, featuring gentle hills dotted with vineyards and olive groves, interspersed with dense forests, cultivated fields, and medieval villages that have stood the test of time. Away from the busy tourist trails, this region offers a slow and authentic pace, perfect for those seeking a direct connection with nature and rural traditions.
Just a few kilometers away lies Volterra, an ancient Etruscan city rich in historical and artistic heritage, showcasing everything from cyclopean walls to a Roman theater, medieval palaces, and alabaster workshops. Equally charming are the nearby small towns, such as Pomarance, Micciano, and Libbiano, which preserve the beauty of a discreet and tranquil Tuscany.
The region is also marked by unique natural phenomena: in Larderello and Sasso Pisano, one can witness geothermal activity, with fumaroles, steam vents, and hot springs emerging from the ground, providing a rare and captivating spectacle. Additionally, the Monterufoli-Caselli nature reserve, just a short distance away, offers perfect trails for hiking and mountain biking, surrounded by ancient oaks, streams, and breathtaking views.
Thanks to its central location, Le Selvole serves as a convenient base for accessing some of Tuscany's most famous art cities: San Gimignano with its towers, Siena with the allure of the Palio, Pisa and its renowned Piazza dei Miracoli, and Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. The Tuscan coastline, featuring the beaches of Cecina, Bibbona, and Vada, is also easily reachable for a day by the sea.
Thus, this area embodies the perfect essence of authentic Tuscany: art and history, wild nature, charming villages, and enduring peasant traditions, all waiting to be discovered at a leisurely pace.
