A
griturismo La Ripa is the ideal place for a
relaxing holiday in glorious Tuscany. Situated amidst the beautiful
Valdarno countryside near the village of Reggello, close to Florence
(15 min.), Siena and Arezzo. San Gimignano, the medieval hilltop town
famous for its tower-filled skyline, is 40 minutes away.
La
Ripa is on the plain that extends from the river Arno, just 1 km outside
Incisa Val d'Arno, the local village. Perfect for relaxing walks or leisurely
bike rides. Nature and art lovers will find much to interest them; Florence
is nearby (15 min) and Arezzo (30 min.) and Siena (60 min.) are within
convenient distances. Incisa itself boasts the childhood home of the early
Renaissance humanist and poet, Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch).
In
Incisa in Val d'Arno there are supermarkets, banks, a post office
and restaurants. Shopaholics will enjoy the Prada, Gucci, Armani
and Dolce & Gabbana outlets that are only 3 km from the agriturismo.
Sports lovers have the choice (at 10 km) of a swimming pool,
tennis courts, a riding stable, mini-golf course and fishing ponds.
