We are in Volterra, in Etruria's heart, at the edge
of the Tuscan Natural Forestry Preserve. Three rivers
flow by the side of Casa Sellate, the 200 hectare
estate of woods, meadows, organically planted fields.
This is an oasis of privacy you can enjoy walking
and discover the Tuscan countryside, the wild fauna,
the essences and odors of Mediterranean scrub; or
you can take pleasure in the total relaxation of
a large house and garden equipped with every comfort,
pool and private golf green. You are only 35 km
away from the sea, easy to reach pubblic access
beaches in a faunistic reserve. Volterra, renowned
and beautiful, completely preserves the fascinating
architecture of its Etruscan, Roman and Medieval
history and offers a very rich calendar of cultural
events, several museums and a wide range of traditional
local food. Volterra is centrally located, about
one hour's drive to the main Tuscan cities of art
like Florence, Siena, Lucca and Pisa, for excellent
day-trips. In Volterra’s neighborhood it is also
easy to go on shorter trips to very nice towns like
San Gimignano, Massa Marittima, Colle Val D’Elsa,
Monteriggioni, or to discover art or archeological
sites like Rocca Sillana, Castelvecchio, S. Galgano.
