Perfect stay

We had a perfect stay at a unique place. Beside the comfortable and perfectly equipped house the complete silence deep in the ‘selva’ was impressive. We completely enjoyed and would come back at any time.

Family vacation at Casa la Selva

This was our first family vacation in Italy and we were not at all disappointed. Casa la Selva is a beautiful rural property in a very peaceful location. The house is gorgeous and beautifully restored and large enough to accommodate our family of 10 comfortably. The pool and grounds are very well kept. Phillip, the property manager, was very courteous and kind to us from the start of our vacation to the end. He made us feel right at home. We would definitely love to come again and would not hesitate in recommending Casa la Selva to our friends. Arrivederci, Bruce and Nancy Caredio and Family

September vacation

We had a great stay at this spacious villa. It is very well equipped with everything you possibly might need during your stay and just as well suited for vacation with as without children. It is quite a bit up the mountain on a bumpy road, so might not want to have to small of a car to get here. Lots of well kept surrounding nature and nothing that disturbs you in the beautiful surroundings. Contact with the owner as well as the on-site manager (Philip) was very simple and quick in respons. We are overall very satisfied with our stay here, as well as with the booking process and information provided. Recommended for rental in the area.

Spacious farmhouse in very rural setting on the hills. Beautiful pool and gardens.

Very spacious and well equipped house for 9 of us. Lovely pool and gardens with terraces to enjoy the view and stars. Our 2 year old loved the toys and games provided. The gardens were alive with beautiful butterflies feasting on the lavender. We saw wild boar on the track up to the house. The house is up a very long gravel road winding up into the hills. We loved its remoteness, but this might not suit everyone. Glorious area for visiting local towns, but so lovely by the pool we didn’t venture out very often!

Very nice

We had a nice stay in the house. The house is very well equipped with everything you need for a stay with children and toddlers. The way to the house through a 5 kilomenetr long gravel road is a bit long, so you shouldn't forget anything when shopping.The area is very idyllic, but due to the location in the forest there are a lot of bugs at the pool that also bite, so that the bathing fun was a bit clouded. Communication was great. We were met on arrival by someone at an agreed location who escorted us to the house, which was not so easy to find.

Family holiday in Italy

The house and gardens were beautiful. The large pool and lovely terraces were great. Nice welcome from Philip on site and all amenities as expected. However, we were taken aback by the access road which was difficult to navigate for our low saloon cars (Alfa Romeo Giulia in particular). An SUV would have been more appropriate but we were not warned of that in advance. We also had to replace 3 lightbulbs for the outside lights so we could actually see each other in the evening. An exytra parasol or 2 by the pool would have been appreciated to get a little more shade from the heat. Overall we did have a wonderful family holiday.

Thanks so much for the feedback, it is much appreciated. I know the white roads are a bit bumpy, especially in a low slung car, I did highlight this in the directions, but will try to be more explicit. We’ll get some more parasols, although there is hard shade by the pool, more shade is always better. I’ll also add a light check to the change over list. Thanks again and I do hope you’ll come back again some time.

Excellent séjour. Magnifique maison en pleine nature très bien équipée et très agréable avec plusieurs terrasses et belle piscine. Environnement sympa pour balades et trail. Pérouse, Assise, Gubbio, Sienne à moins 1h/1h30. Proche de Montone et Cortone, très belles découvertes. Communication parfaite avec Matt. Triste de partir et de beaux souvenirs plein la tête.

Mooi karakteristiek huis met fijn veel vertrekken om te zijn en verblijven, van alles voorzien, en natuurlijk een heerlijk zwembad. Je kiest voor een afgelegen plek met absolute privacy. Neem in de zomer wel anti-insectenspray mee voor buiten (binnen in het huis geen last van).

Wahnsinnig schönes Haus

Das Haus bietet alles was man für 10 Personen benötigt. Der Pool ist toll, die Ruhe genial. Man muss 5 km weisse Straße fahren ... wie für uns gewöhnlichen in dieser Region.... Aber es war eine tolle Urlaubslocation und wir überlegen uns schon, nochmals hinzufahren.

Schönes Idyll

Das Haus ist in einer wild romantischen Region gelegen um abzuschalten aber auch für Exkursionen in Umbrien und die Toskana liegt es sehr zentral. Man sollte jedoch nicht außer Acht lassen, das die abgelegene Lage eine längere An/Abfahrt über White Roads ca. 20 Minuten bis zum Erreichen der Hauptstraße benötigt. Es verfügt über alle notwendigen Accessoires die man für einen Aufenthalt benötigt. Das Haus ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, daher auch nicht unbedingt auf dem aktuellen technischen Stand und ein gewisser Reparaturstau ersichtlich ist (Sanitäre Bereiche). Der Außenbereich und das Pool sind in einem Top Zustand. Wir waren zu 9 Personen und hatten immer das Gefühl, dass es genügend Platz für alle gab. Alles Zusammen kann ich die Location empfehlen. :-)

Perfekter Urlaub für unsere Gruppe

Tolles Haus und Pool, perfekt um zu entspannen. Es war wirklich alles vorhanden und der großzügige Pool ein Traum gerade bei den heissen Temperaturen. Man kann einiges in der Umgebung unternehmen, jedoch war uns die Fahrt über die Schotterstraße meist zu beschwerlich, was uns aber aufgrund der tollen Lokalität nicht gestört hat. Man hat genügend Rückzugsorte im Haus und Garten, so dass jeder genügend Freiraum hat. Einzig die Bäder könnten teilweise eine Erneuerung vertragen. Kommen gerne wieder. Kommunikation mit Vermieter und Verwalter war top.

Traumhaft schön

Wir verbrachten mit der Großfamilie zwei unbeschreiblich schöne Wochen. Das Haus, die Umgebung, der Pool einfach traumhaft. Unkomplizierte und freundliche Betreuung vor Ort. Uns hat es nicht gestört, dass der Anfahrtsweg lang und etwas holprig war...es hat sich wirklich gelohnt. Ein Ort, den man nie vergisst und gerne wieder besuchen möchte. Danke, dass wir dies erleben durften.

Very nice

We enjoyed our stay at Matt’s property. He and Philip were extremely easy to work with. The home itself is very clean and quite large. It is situated within a 2-2.5 hr drive from Florence or Rome. My only complaint is the lack of a clothes dryer, but I understand many homes don’t have dryers in Italy. There were 2 long clothes lines and many clothes pins on which to dry clothes, so I utilized those. We would recommend this home to anyone who wants to leave the hustle and bustle of large cities. It’s easy to relax and take in the scenery when you’re 15 minutes up a mountain road. Lovely!

Thanks so much for the review and for being a great guest. We’ll have a think about a dryer, most of our guests come at a warmer time of the year and so clothes dry quickly on the racks and line.
