Roads are less frequent and the Mediterranean bush is expanding for hundreds of kilometres.
The High Valley of Cecina is set in this natural and scenic background.

It is one of the less known and undiscovered lands of Tuscany.
The farm “Agriturismo Le Selvole” is situated at the foot of medieval villages like Micciano e Libbiano among green hills, vineyards, olive groves in an uncontaminated spot, in the municipal territory of Pomarance, 20 km away from Volterra, in Pisa province.
