Agriturismo

"La Leggenda" is hidden in a twelve-acre wood, mainly of secular chestnut trees, at Selva, one of the prettiest villages around the town of Santa Fiora. The town, which is in the heart of the Mount Amiata foothills at about 2000 feet above sea level, is in the middle of a wonderfully uncontaminated, green countryside, with numerous medieval villages, churches and castles rich with art and history.

Situated on the slopes of Mount Amiata - also a winter ski-ing resort - it's worth visiting the medieval town centre of Santa Fiora and also its famous "Peschiera" (fish-pond). In the vicinity you can visit the Abbey of Abbadia San Salvatore, Arcidosso and Castel del Piano, all easily reachable within fifteen to twenty minutes.

Slightly further afield, about forty minutes away in the direction of the sea, you'll find the warm sulphuric waters of Saturnia - a famous spa resort - and the countryside of the lower Maremma. Countryside rich in history, famous for its food and wine.

Near Saturnia, but slightly more southwards, you'll find the small medieval townships of Pitigliano, Sorano and Sovana : small masterpieces of the Etruscan heritage.

Northwards, in the nearby province of Siena, you can visit the Abbey of Sant'Antimo; and make promise not to miss Montalcino where you can taste one of the "Kings of Wine" ; don't forget to take a slight detour to Pienza and Montepulcino and taste some of Italy's most famous seasoned cheeses.

In a nutshell ... "La Leggenda" and the Maremma countryside are here ... waiting for you !
