Tenuta della Selva

Everything was clean and perfect in the apartment. The location is very nice, surrounded by nature away from the roads. And it’s well situated to visit Siena and the Val d’Orcia. Rosy is a great host, very attentive to all demands

We loved our short break at Tenuta della Selva and wish we could have stayed longer. The one bedroom apartment was clean, cool and spacious, well equipped and beautifully renovated. The bed was very comfortable with lovely bed linen and all windows have built in fly screens. There is no phone reception but excellent WiFi. Our outside patio area was so peaceful with lots of flowers and deck chairs as well as chairs and table - the perfect place to relax overlooking the countryside or inky black sky at night. All the old farm buildings have been beautifully restored and communal areas are well looked after with each apartment having its own designated area by the gorgeous pool. We also liked the recycling system which is easy to follow. Rosy and Elena were also very welcoming and helpful. We wished we had more luggage space to take home more of the estate's olive oil! We knew beforehand that the property was secluded so the drive up was not a problem. It's 7 minutes on the gravelled road so the hire car got a bit dusty but we were only in and out once a day. We also stocked up at a big supermarket en route as the property description makes clear it is isolated. We visited Siena one day and toured the typical Tuscan countryside around Pienza (very pretty town) another. But we were always happy to get back to Tenuta della Selva for a swim and to relax in such beautiful tranquil surroundings.

No complaints. It was perfect and very good value.
