Le Selve

Set in the Mugello Valley, on the foothills of the Tuscan Apennine (315m above sea level), the property is ideally suited as a fabulous second home or B&B. Located in green Tuscan landscape with the possibility to explore the little villages of the area, rich in history and art or well-known cities such as Florence (35 km away), Arezzo, Lucca, Siena and Ravenna.



The buildings are surrounded by noble-broadleaf trees that create an ideal atmosphere for a relaxing holiday. The property has been refurbished respecting the original structure of the buildings.
