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!

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

Beautiful Casa la Selva

Our group had a wonderful time at Casa la Selva cooking meals and enjoying the outdoors. The villa is in a very secluded area but that was certainly part of its charm . Nearby fields of poppies and the rolling hills were impressive. La Selva is perfectly located for daily visits to nearby towns and restaurants. We lucked out choosing la Selva.

Getting away from it all in the wilds of Umbria

This property is a charming farmhouse, extended over the years to accommodate its original family, and now modernised to be a comfortable home-from-home. We are a family party of 7 adults, and we had plenty of room to hang out together (even on rainy days) or find separate spaces. The house is well out into the Umbrian countryside, at the end of a track some distance along a "white" road ie made from compressed grit. There are beautiful views of tree-covered slopes in all directions, with the odd house in the distance. Perugia airport is nearest, but we arrived in Italy via Pisa airport because the flight schedule suited us better. This gave us a drive of around 3 hours. What greeted us on arrival was a superbly clean, welcoming house. The kitchen is well-equipped for almost any sort of cooking/food preparation you could imagine, with plenty of pans, crockery and cutlery. There is a UK adaptor for the gadgets from home you might need to plug in. For those who are bothered about such things, the house comes with a plentiful loo roll and soap supply. The supermarket at Umbertide is 1/2 hour drive away BUT it is well-stocked on the fruit/veg front, cheese,fresh and cured meat, bread (rustic "paviours" and sliced loaves), butter, fresh milk, pasta in all states, sauces, wine, chocolate etc etc. (Washing powder is relatively expensive, so you might want to BYO). We found plenty to entertain ourselves around the house and pool, and further afield (rail trip into Florence, parking at Cortona; motorboating on Lake Trasimeno). We had a coeliac in our party who was easy to provide for (decent gf selection in both Pisa and Umbertide Coops). This dictated our choice of restaurant for Sunday lunch, but we were all delighted with the agriturismo "Calagrana" which was relatively on our doorstep (and whose hostess is English, for those who might consider sending an email to book ahead). The pasta was delicious and we would recommend it unreservedly for a special meal. It certainly fitted the bill for somewhere to celebrate our daughters' birthdays. Matt the host is very on the ball about replying to questions - we wanted to know how universally cards were accepted (everywhere, except smaller shops). We had a lovely stay, and a wonderful time with our family.

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!

An absolutely beautiful property in a secluded and peaceful location. Just wonderful.

The owners were extremely helpful throughout the booking procedure and answered my emails very promptly. Philip the caretaker met us and took us to the property. He explained everything that we needed to know and the whole process was extremely well done. This property is very special and spacious. It was immaculately clean and very tastefully furnished. It had everything we required. We could not fault it. We all thoroughly enjoyed the swimming pool which is a very good size and in a stunning spot. The property is quite remote so you have to be organised with your food shopping. There is a very good supermarket in umbertide which had everything we needed. There are some very good restaurants and lovely towns to visit. It is in a beautiful part of Italy. We would definitely recommend this property and we all had the best time.

A very relaxing week, with gorgeous weather, just what we needed.

We came back again to check everything is in order for another summer season. The house and gardens are looking lovely, with the roses and jasmine in bloom. Woke up each morning to birdsong and blue skies. The children enjoyed picking lots of cherries from the tree on the upper terrace. We even found a few wild strawberries along the track. Our friends loved the star gazing after dinner on the roof terrace and the fireflies dancing around the house. We had a lovely lunch one day at Erba Luna in Montone and enjoyed the beautiful views from the old town walls. We hope that all our guests this year enjoy their time at Casa La Selva as much as we do. The Squires (Co-owners)

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.

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.

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. :-)
