In its long history, from its medieval origins and through a spectacular transition from the Medici to the major Italian families, the villa has now found a new purpose, wherein the rural tradition has combined with the most advanced techniques of winemaking, which has caused it to become one of the best producers of wine and sparkling wine. A holiday is available in this environment, in the midst of many acres of carefully cultivated vineyards. A 150-hectare nature park, with ponds and an unspoilt flora and fauna, is exclusively available to the guests. Villa La Selva is an active vineyard, and the access road to the hamlet of Montebenichi runs through the estate. For the comfortable maisonettes, each a completely self-contained 'cottage' with its own separate area of land with private access, there is a shared swimming pool with an extensive sunbathing and relaxation area. There is satellite TV, a DVD player and an Internet connection in each property.
