Tripala farm is a countryside oasis, ideal for family holidays. You can relax by the swimming pool, sunbathe on the terrace or go mountain biking or walking in the spectacular Apuane Alps.

Situated in the Garfagnana National Park, the farm is an ideal base if you want to visit the historic towns of Tuscany, including Lucca, Pisa and Florence. The coast is only a short journey by car or train, so you can explore the beautiful fishing villages of the Cinque Terre or of the  cool Versilia and swim in the azure waters.

In the nearby medieval villages there are several pizzerias and restaurants serving tasty local cuisine – and wines made from grapes ripened on the nearby hillsides.

Tripala has four apartments, two sleeps four people, one sleeps six people and one sleeps eight. All apartments have breath-taking views of the mountains and hill top villages. The owners, Carlo and Sylvia, speak English and are always on hand to help if you need any advice.

The Garfagnana has many pretty medieval villages that hold colourful festivals in summer. You can sample the local cuisine and wine, listen to live music and dance the night away Italian style! Lucca is only 70km away and is well worth a day trip, also by train. Marvel at the medieval and renaissance architecture, take a bike ride around the city walls or simply pass the time of day in a pavement cafe', sipping a Prosecco.

Pisa and Florence are a maximum 2 hours drive from Tripala. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit and see the architectural and artistic treasures. Autumn is the ideal period to visit the numberless villages and historical towns, to walk in the charming woods, and to rest and get the last tintarella, enjoying the warm sun, in your beautiful terrace or patio overlooking the spectacular Apuan Alps.

A wide choice of local specialities are offered by the local restaurants and osterie, and can also be savoured during the various country celebrations in the nearby villages. In mild weather, you can easily reach from Tripala the Tirrenian sea beaches and villages, to enjoy long peaceful walks (i.e. Cinque Terre trekking path) and excellent Tuscanian and Ligurian fish cooking, out of the crowds of the high season! If you are fond of skiing and winter sports Xmas is the right time to come!
