"Fattoria La Selva", located in the hills of Trequanda District and ”Fattoria Chiatina”, located in the Buonconvento District, are both owned by Duccio Pometti. The “Fattoria La Selva” boasts 12 apartments proper and a large luxury villa (Villa Boscarello), two pools and a considerable number of clients, many who have become stalwart and loyal friends, over the years.
La Selva is a farm 212 hectares large, standing in the ”crete” (clay-lands), 30 km south of Siena. The typical brick and stone farm-house has been carefully restored and divided into apartments, equipped with antique furniture. Terraces and verandas are provided with garden furniture. Dogs and other animals are not allowed. Swimming-pool, ping pong, large park with barbecue, tennis at 5.5 km.
Villa Boscarello is nestled in the rolling hills of the “crete senesi”, the clay region in the heart of Tuscany, 34 km south of Siena, a territory rich in history and incredibly beautiful landscapes and dates back to the 17th century. The Villa, with its own private swimming pool from which the views are particularly spectacular stretching the eye as far as Siena and Monte Amiata, offers relaxing and intimate stay in a luxuriously refine atmosphere. Next to the Villa is a smaller property “Bellaria” a traditional brick building typical of the region, once used as a farm out building, but now beautifully converted into a self contained apartment.
The Villa can accommodate a maximum of 16 persons or, in conjunction with Bellaria, a maximum of 20 persons. The large living-rooms with their elegant ceilings and antique family furniture, offer a real “old Tuscany“ atmosphere. The Villa Boscarello itself has 8 elegantly furnished rooms, with either a double or two single beds, all with large, luxurious bathroom facilities, including a shower or Jacuzzi, a telephone and a mini bar. The smaller Bellaria property has 2 double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom facilities, both equipped with Jacuzzis, and a telephone.
Duccio and Daniela personally run the property themselves, as well as producing their own organically-grown extra virgin olive oil and highest quality wines. On the main floor of the Villa is a large dining room with a central fireplace, boasting its own wine cellar, in which you can enjoy wine tasting and typical Tuscan cooking, including products of the farm and the delectable white and black truffles of the region.
For your eating pleasure, the Villa has a large, modern kitchen, a wood-burning oven and an outdoor movable grill. At your request, we can organize cooking classes to learn how to prepare the deceivingly simple, traditional and tasty local recipes. Villa Boscarello’s classic architecture, spacious interiors and elegant gardens offer the perfect setting for weddings and other occasions.
