Reviews Tenuta delle Ripalte

We spent two weeks at Tenuta della Ripalte with our kids aged 15 and 12. We were a little unsure wether we should book because of some of the comments. And yes, it is a winding and dusty road leading to the Tenuta and down to the beaches, which can be scary in parts but it brings you to a wonderful location that is an outdoor sport heaven. The accommodation was absolutely fine, clean and although we didn't have air condition it was not too hot, because there was always a little bit of wind. My kids loved the freediving with Michele (if you like the water, this is a pretty unique opportunity), we did two mountain bike tours with Davide (absolutely book with guide - not that more expensive and you learn a lot), played tennis (yes, availability of the courts is not ideal, but we just played really early when it was nice and cool), table tennis, went riding and it's a runners paradise. It would have been a five star rating but we were not so impressed with the food offering in the restaurant - especially for vegetarians there is not much choice and no flexibility. The staff is lovely though and the view stunning. The culinary highlight however was dinner at Cala Nova which is part of the Tenuta. The food was simply AMAZING and Christophe was a wonderful host!
