La Selvetta opened in 2007 and is a country farmhouse situated at the top a gentle hill overlooking the vineyards of the 'Colli Fiorentini', and the valley of the Elsa river.

This is the perfect base for families and couples for a relaxing holiday in the heart of the Chianti wine country. Many of the marvels of Tuscany are within an easy drive (San Gimignano, Volterra and the Chianti countryside are within half an hour) while Florence, Siena, Pisa and Lucca are only a little further. Closer by are some lesser-known treasures, like the nearby hill town of Certaldo, abuzz each July with its medieval pageant, the Mercantia, and a frequent venue for concerts and art exhibitions. You can also catch a train from Empoli (10 minutes drive from Selvetta) to Florence or Siena.

The holiday house is divided into nine air-conditioned apartments. The swimming pool is equipped with a jacuzzi. Each apartment has its own private sitting out area with tables and chairs. There is a laundry room with a washing machine and drier for guests' use (detergent provided, small charge).

The property is in an ideal location between Pisa and Florence and is very well located for touring the area. There is a train station 10km away(Empoli), and from here you can hop on a train to the centre of Florence (it takes 15-20 minutes).
