Om boendet

Romantisk Cottege ovanför medeltida stadsmurar

Selci Àr ett fristÄende medeltida hus
Framdörren öppnar frÄn trÀdgÄrden in i vardagsrummet. Ett stort rum, med en magnifik, tvÀrvinklad tak, har delats upp för att separera frukostköket frÄn vardagsrummet. Köket har bra utrustning.
Utanför vardagsrummet Àr ett elegant duschrum.
En marmortrappa leder till första vÄningen, med ett sovrum med dubbelsÀng, ett tvÄbÀddsrum.
Möbler Àr en blandning av gammalt och nytt.
Det finns enastÄende vyer frÄn nÄgra av rummen.
Ena sidan av huset Àr en muromgÀrdad trÀdgÄrd, den ena sidan Àr den medeltida gamla stadsmuren.
Det finns flera stÀllen att sitta, Àta sola och realx, med en vinrankad pergola, frukt och tallar, hem till blackbirds, svalor och nattegaler.
NÀra grönsaksgÄrden 8 m diameter pool, dold bakom en hÀck.
I denna trÀdgÄrd finns en andra pool, hydromassage för avkoppling nÀr dina barn sover.
Bakom huset Àr en park dÀr de berömda flaggkastarna ibland övar, till ackompanjemang av stÀmningsfulla medeltida drumbeats.
Guarnacci-museet ligger 300 m. med en av de största etruskiska samlingarna i vÀrlden.
I centrum, inom nÄgra minuters promenad, Àr viktiga museer och konstgallerier, liksom ett utmÀrkt utbud av affÀrer och restauranger.
Volterra Àr en av de Àldsta stÀderna i Italien. Det var som etruskisk bosÀttning
i 8: e C BC: byggd pÄ Villanovan stiftelser. De etruskiska utvecklade blomstrande affÀrer i metaller, alabaster och salt. FÄngat av romarna i 3: e kvartalet f.Kr., blev det avbrutet i 80 f.Kr. av Sulla. Lombarderna favoriserade och överlevde medeltiden intakt, men var under den florentinska dominansen fram till enande Italien i 1860. NÀstan alla byggnader Àr gjorda av "bÀnk", en kung av kalksten relaterad till alabasten för vilken Voletrra Àr kÀnd.
De stenbelagda gatorna och torgen har underbara byggnader, som Priors slott, katedralen, baptisteriet och torget, en mÀngd utmÀrkta restauranger och mycket mer.
Andra sevÀrdheter Àr den romerska teatern och Porta all'Arco, den intakta etruskiska ingÄngen till staden. Den stilla, medeltida stadskÀrnan Àr en fascinerande labyrint av slingrande gator, i samband med smala, vÀlvda grÀnder.
Konserter och festligheter Àr organiserade till sommaren, och det finns sÄ mycket att se och behöver du flytta.
NÀr du gör det, nÀr du har kört ner
  tortuous approach vÀgar beundrar den extraordinÀra moonscape av avrundade lera kullar.

Magical!

Casa Selci is wonderful - a simple, comfortable little house, lovely private garden and pool with spectacular outlook. Peaceful while within easy walking distance of everything in Volterra's historic centre - beautiful town with lots to enjoy. Great location for day trips to neighbouring towns and villages too. Daniela is a welcoming, helpful host.

Schöner Urlaub

Wir waren zwei Paare und hatten eine tolle Zeit in Volterra. Die Wohnung ist wie beschrieben. Alles war sauber und ordentlich. Die KĂŒche ist gut ausgestattet und wurde ausgiebig zum Kochen benutzt. Es war ruhig und man konnte gut in den Betten schlafen. Die Kommunikation und der Check in und Check out mit Daniela war einfach und unkompliziert. Der Garten und der Pool waren toll, aber leider war das Wetter nicht so gut, deswegen haben wir den Außenbereich kaum benutzt.

Super fĂŒr Familien!

Das Haus ist sehr gut geeignet fĂŒr eine Familie mit maximal drei Kindern. Die Lage des Hauses, der Garten und der Pool sind hervorragend. Das Haus selbst ist in die Jahre gekommen. Zwei der Schlafzimmer sind in Ordnung, insbesondere sind die Matratzen sehr gut. Der dritte Raum eignet sich dagegen eher als Abstellraum. Die KĂŒche ist insgesamt gut ausgestattet, es fehlt allerdings eine SpĂŒlmaschine und warmes Wasser kommt auch erst nach sehr langem Warten. Das Badezimmer ist fĂŒr ein Ferienhaus in Ordnung.

Geweldig!

Super leuk huis, op loopafstand van het schitterende historisch centrum van Volterra. We hebben erg genoten van de ontzettend grote tuin, met zwembad van maar liefst 8meter doorsnede. Ondanks dat je binnen de stadsmuren zit van Volterra, heb je wel volledige privacy in de tuin. Daarnaast fantastisch uitzicht vanuit de tuin over het dal.

Ferien in Volterra

Das schöne Haus mit großem Garten, Pool und Whripool eignet sich wunderbar zu einem schönen Urlaub in der Toscana. Da direkt an einem Parkplatz gelegen, der aber nicht stark genutzt wird, kommt es schon mal zu etwas LĂ€rm. tagsĂŒber ist es aber erstaunlich ruhig. Die KĂŒchenausstattung könnte etwas besser sein und beim Internet, das eine angemessene Geschwindigkeit hat, ist das Datenvolumen eingeschrĂ€nkt. D.h. es sollen/dĂŒrfen keine Filme gestreamt (z.B. Netflix) gestreamt werden. Ansonsten hatten wir dort aber einen schönen Urlaub und können das Objekt empfehlen.

La Toscane dans toute la splendeur

Superbe maisonnette perchée au haut d'une colline. Une vue imprenable. La ville de Volterra qui est sensationnelle. Avons passé un séjour exceptionnel. L'endroit est idéalement placé pour faire des visites dans les différentes villes de la Toscane telles que Sienne, Mise, Lucque etc... La propriétaire, Daniela, est super accueillante, pleine de vie et trÚs disponible. Cet endroit est a recommander chaudement. N'avons malheureusement pas pu profiter de la piscine au vu du temps mais cela nous aurait encore fait passé de meilleurs moments.

A la découverte de la Toscane!

Nous avons passé une semaine trÚs agréable, au milieu des oliviers. La casa daniela est idéalement placée, entre Florence et Sienne. Nous avons pu explorer plusieurs sites de la campagne toscane, dans une tranquillité trÚs appréciable. Il nous aurait fallu plus de temps pour découvrir la région ; aussi, si vous venez à la Casa Daniela, restez-y au moins 2 semaines! merci à Daniela pour sa disponibilité, ses conseils et son aide précieuse!

Romantic stay in Tuscany

We had a great moment in Casole D'elsa at Daniela's house ! Daniela is very nice and available if you need help. The house, garden, swimming pool are cosy and romantic. The area is so beautiful, easy to go to Siena, Firenze, San Gimignano,... and Casole D'elsa is a very nice little village too ! We loved our stay at Daniela's and highly recommend it. Thank you !

A gem of a villa in authentic Tuscany

We stayed for a week in September and it was amazing! Firstly Daniela's excellent directions ensured we got there without taking out the GPS even at night! We had such a relaxing week there and we'd highly recommend it. The pool is quite large and we enjoyed using it daily. Daniela and Francesco ensured the pool was always clean and we had everything we needed. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect stay. As another reviewer noted the beds and pillows were very comfortable. It was also a big plus that the property has Wifi. It is on the edge of Monteguidi, which is a tiny 2 street hamlet in the heart of Tuscany. The larger village of Casole D'Elsa is about 10min drive away with some lovely restaurants - especially El Brigante with lovely pizza and a great view. Thanks very much for everything Daniela and Francesco. We hope to see you again!

This property is absolutely beautiful! It is exactly how it is represented. The garden is stunning, the pool is refreshing, the apartment is quaint and cozy, the views are amazing, and the location is perfect! We stayed here for a week and fell in love with Volterra. The city is beautiful and the people are so friendly 😄. We will definitely be returning for another visit ... and, we hope to stay in this apartment again. Oh, and Daniela is just so sweet and helpful. Daniela, thank you for everything 😄

Wonderful place to stay

This property was faultless - the location and the accomodation were perfect. My family and friends came here to celebrate my birthday and I cannot think of a nicer place in which to do so. The owner Danielle could not have been more helpful. This was my second visit to Volterra and I would certainly recomment thsi property to anyone thinking of touring the area.

An Oasis of Calm

What you want from a holiday rental is to be near enough town to take advantage of its attractions and yet peace and quiet and all the necessary living facilities. Bearing in mind that Italy is always noisy, this was an almost perfect villa and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Volterra is a hill-top town in Tuscany, full of interesting buildings and several museums, it is surrounded by high walls that are interrupted by a number of gateways. Casa Selci was just round the corner from the most Easterly gateway of Port Selci, opposite an imposing medieval fortress now functioning as the State Prison. Perfectly situated, it is only a short stroll before you find yourself passing bars, shops, restaurants, two different museums, an alabaster workshop and even the local supermarket. Yet the villa itself, a converted barn, is set in an oasis of calm - a large, secluded garden with fruit trees, a wonderfully large circular pool, BBQ, loungers and a breakfast table overlooking a fabulous view of Tuscany. The two bedrooms are large, the shower powerful and the cooker both gas and electricity. There is no air conditioning or TV but it is perfectly well equipped for a hot, sunny summer holiday where you spend most of the time outside. I have to mention that there is a small park next to the house where boys play football most afternoons, and twice a week there may be noisy drum, trumpet and flag-waving practice between 9.30 and 11pm, but we found it quite bearable and managed to catch a festival day so we could enjoy the musical performance they gave in the Square.

Fabulous - A real find

Having read other reviews before we went - we would definitely agree with everyone who says that Casa Selci is a real find. We stayed there for a week in August 2011 and wish we'd booked it for both weeks of our holiday. The location is perfect. Volterra is an interesting town, lively and full of tourists ... but step away into your own little bit of heaven. Once at the house you feel like you're a million miles away from the town instead of a three minute walk. The view from the small breakfast terrace is breathtaking. The pool and the gardens are great and perfect for relaxing in. Daniella, the owner is very welcoming and the house is kept beautifully clean by Rosanna and her husband. It's well equipped. Shopping in the town is quite limited but there are two supermarkets a few minutes drive away. And treat yourself to an meal cooked by a real Italian cook (Thank you Piera!) which was organised for us by Daniella (it was a perfect birthday treat). Casa Selci is all it says it is and more. We would have NO hesitation in recommending it to anyone and would certainly like to go back or perhaps we'll try one of Daniella's other properties next time. Go - you'll love it!

Location, Location, Location

It is really difficult to write a review for this property and the town it sits in which would do it the justice it deserves, you could only visit it for yourselves to appreciate how special a place it is. Within the villa and it's grounds you could be in your own rural retreat, however step out the gate and straight away you are within one of the most picturesque, magical, historical towns you could ever imagine, it really has everything!! 'Romantic' is definately one word you would use decribe the town and also this villa which oozes tuscan charm with its rustic interior and large, enchanting gardens. The views over the garden walls of this hilltop villa are breathtaking. We stayed here with our three young children and although we were unlucky enough to have some 'uncharacteristic' weather during our weeks stay in July, we were grateful to be staying in such a fabulous part of Tuscany. The kids loved the pool and gardens, even in the rain!! Volterra is a small entruscan town perfectly preserved with it winding narrow streets and original buildings, which now offers plenty of authentic shops, restaurants and of course, ice-cream bars. You can actually feel the history as you walk through the town which makes this such a magical place to visit, not to mention stay in. Daniela, the villa owner, was extremely welcoming and friendly, she and her family were lovely. We'd booked to stay at another of Daniela's villas for our second week so visited some other fabulous places too including Sienna, Casole d'Elsa and San Gimignano and had a fantastic holiday. We would definately recommend this villa in Volterra to our families and friends and hope to go there again ourselves one day.

Great

We all thin that this was our best ever holiday. The house was comfortable, the pool relaxing, the views superb and the position of the house perfect in that we could walk into the charming town for shopping and ice creams. It was easy to drive to other towns further afield such as Sienna, Pisa and San Gimi.

You must stay here - fantastic

We stayed in Casa Selci Sept 3rd - Sept 10th 2011. I can honestly say this is the nicest holiday rental we have stayed at. We had an incredible welcome from Daniela (the owner). The house itself oozes character and has all the facilities you could wish for. There are two very good sized double bedrooms, a 'library' area with views over Tuscany and the on the ground floor - the kitchen/diner/sitting room with a good sized bathroom off to one side. Outside there is a BBQ, a reasonable sized pool and a huge garden (and I mean huge). It is completely private and not overlooked in any way. There is also a beautiful breakfast terrace with stunning views over the Tuscan countryside while sitting down. The garden also has similar views from a standing position. Volterra itself is a stunning picture-postcard town of the perfect size has many many good restaurants, a couple of grocery shops etc and a couple of little bars (thankfully not like the ones in Ireland/UK). It is the prefect place to visit Sienna, Florence and Pisa (all under 90 minutes away - and I was driving slowly due to being unfamiliar with the roads). We happened to be there for the annual Flag-throwing competition and that was a fantastic treat. I would really really recommend this property as it felt like a home and a holiday all in one. Daniela - you are a star! 1 Restaurant I would recommend (but all are good) is Del Duca (a little expensive but worth it). I can provide more restaurant details to anyone who wants to know but Daniela will also help. My advice - go to Volterra and stay in this house!

A little gem

We stayed at Casa Selci for a week at the end of August. The house is rustic with very simple furnishings. Its location is absolutely fantastic, situated at the highest point within the ancient walls of Volterra (which form part of Casa Selci's garden wall) and overlooking the surrounding countryside. It is located along a little used road which leads to a gated park* (I will say more about that later). The garden is large and contains little hidden gems such as ivy-clad statues, and a 'hidden' raised patio with a small table and chairs - perfect for watching the sun go down over a glass of Chianti. The swimming pool is much larger than the pictures suggest and a real asset to the property. The house, garden and pool are not overlooked at all. There is private parking on site too which is great given the restrictions that apply within Volterra. Volterra itself is simply stunning - the Piazza dei Priori, the sweeping steps down to the natural spring, the impressive Roman theatre and the pretty narrow cobbled streets - you just can't help but fall in love with the place. The city is pleasantly bustling in the evening and we felt very much at ease walking around late at night and many shops remain open until after 10pm. My family and I had a wonderful, restful stay at Casa Selci. Daniela was a very thoughtful hostess popping back later in the week to give us some of her home-pressed olive oil. She also arranged a tour guide to take us around the main attractions of Volterra and this was truly excellent and I would highly recommend. We were lucky enough to visit at the time of the Volterran Medieval Festival (late August) which was very well organised and well worth the entrance fee. Eating out was never a problem - there were so many restaurants to choose from and the food was varied and generally delicious. Two things to be aware of: The mosquitoes were a real nuisance (Volterra generally) and buying repellent spray in the town centre was expensive so take some with you. Secondly, the Volterran flag throwers, drummers and trumpeters practise regularly in the park next to Casa Selci. Most of the time they stopped their musical exercises by midnight but often, they would party on well after that time - something to think about if you are not a heavy sleeper. Overall, I would recommend Casa Selci.

A Tuscan Paradise

We have holidayed here for several years, coming across it by chance having looked for a property with a pool that wasn't out in the countryside where our teenagers would get bored! Casa Selci has everything. The garden is wonderful - big, extremely private, but with incredibly breathtaking views from the top of this hill-top town. The villa is exactly as described, well maintained and nicely furnished. The lovely owner and her helpers are very caring and friendly and as locals can advise on anything from places to eat and visit, to the best shops to buy local goods. The pool is fantastic...whether you want to just cool off every so often after lazing on a sunbed, or for a more energetic swim about...our teenagers were virtually never out of it when we were at the villa. And a most important benefit to this property is its position within the walls of the town, so that everywhere is walkable, and shops and restaurants are just a lovely wander away. We have always eaten very well at local restaurants, and enjoyed cooking with local ingredients at the villa sometimes too. But a real treat Daniela has organised for us on three occasions, is a wonderful meal provided by her very talented friend, the cook, who comes in and produces an amazing Tuscan meal at the villa, for a very reasonable fee. I cannot recommend this place highly enough for a relaxed and enjoyable holiday, catering for all the family. We now view it as a sort of home from home, and look forward so much to returning.

Car is a MUST because Volterra is a small town and you have seen it in a couple of days and there is so much to see nearby (Siena, Florence, San Gimignano). Bad thing is that Volterra is located up in the hills so you have to drive all the way up and down, up and down when you want to visit cities nearby. (and itÂŽs not straight way to drive :) But...views were great and it wasnÂŽt too hot...we had nice wind blowing all the time. Daniela and others were very kind and helpful.
