Agriturismo La Selva

Positive: great place with AMAZING food!.

Positive: Staff very kind, good food.

Great people, delicious food, and molto bene location.

Excellent all around!!! We spent one night at La Selva as part of our journey along the Via Francigena. The owner, Valentina, picked us up at Aullia showing great warmth and hospitality. Dinner was a memorable experience--all the way from the antipasti to the home-made after-dinner liquors. Breakfast was also amazing, with an ample variety of home-made jams, several of which we are taking home as mementos of a great trip through beaitiful Lunigiana.

Positive: Welcoming and professional. Amazing antipasto and pasta when we arrived late at night. Clean rooms and quiet surrounding.. Negative: Ok breakfast, but not as good..

Positive: Beautiful location in the mountains not far from the sea. Very quiet, the children loved the animals.. Negative: Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for dinner, so we can't comment on the dinner. The breakfast was sufficient, mainly homemade cake and fruit. Some bread and cheese would have been nice..

Positive: Wonderful and very friendly people, made our short stay so enjoyable. The breakfast was great and the evening meal (paid seperately) was both good value and delicious. The location is quite remote and was a bit tricky to find in the dark (January visit) but once we got there we knew we had made a good chioce! The view in the morning and the natural surroundings were beautiful!. Negative: The room felt a little cold to begin with, but this was to be expected as it temp dropped to minus 3 outside and this was early Jan, so not really tourist season. Once the room warmed up it was fine! The wi-fi was a bit slow, which did not bother us at all, but others who spend their lives in internet might be bothered? But then again get a life! - Go outside and take in the views, it's much more healthy and good for the soul!.

A stay at La Selva provides beautiful views of the rolling hills surrounding the property, and if the Apuan Alps in the distance. There is a lovely outdoor patio where you can sit and take in the views, and the fresh air. Very relaxing. The property is located about 4 km outside Aulla, but if you don’t have a car they will very graciously come into town to pick you up. Our cozy room had a comfortable bed with outlets at the bedside. A nice washroom provided a shower with plenty of hot water, though water pressure was a bit inconsistent when other guests were using water. The free wi-fi is excellent. Bonus: there is a small restaurant that serves delicious food at a very reasonable price. We enjoyed a spinach tagliatelle with fresh porcini mushroom, followed by a perfectly prepared porchetta with roast potatoes. For dessert we enjoyed a delicious lemon torte/crepe. The meal was enjoyed with two bottles of La Selva’s own red wine (shared amongst three people), all for €25 per person. Breakfast was generous, including eggs cooked to order and very rich cappuccino. The only (minor) downside is that the walls are thin so sounds from other rooms travel easily. But everyone was in bed, or very respectfully quiet, by 11:00 pm so this wasn’t really a problem. Great value for money; highly recommended.
