Discovering Apella ancient village and charming landscape in Lunigiana
If you come from Aulla and follow the ancient "salt road" to Tavernelle, after a few hairpin bends, above Taponecco medieval town, you will see the ancient Tower of Apella, housing today Montagna Verde Holiday Farm. In this oasis of peacefulness, at 660m of altitude, among the centuries-old chestnut trees of
Appennino Tosco-Emiliano National Park, you will spend a wonderful holiday and discover the local beauties and cuisine of Lunigiana.
The Holiday Farm
The ancient castrensian structure, incorporated by the former parsonage as bell tower, has been entirely and wonderfully renovated to house the characteristic
restaurant and some charming
rooms of the Holiday Farm.
>>>Apella Ancient Village
In the center of the stone-built village of Apella, picturesque and functional apartments and rooms have been renovated. Moreover, premises like the organic honey workshop and the tasting hall where the guests can taste and purchase our products have been obtained.
Facilities and the Farm Animals
The Holiday Farm has a private reserve to collect edible boletes: it is surrounded by an untouched landscape, habitat of several wild animals, ideal also for guided tours, trekking activities, and fishing thanks to the wonderful trout living in the stream crossing the area. Moreover, you will have the opportunity to meet farm animals like donkeys, sheep, cows, and, during the summer, dive into the swimming-pool facing Alpi Apuane.
The Surroundings
Lunigiana offers the possibility to spend a quality holiday in harmony with nature. If you follow the ancient itineraries of the Francigena road system, you will discover castles, medieval villages, and Romanesque-style country churches. Then, "after a bend, suddenly the sea"... and Cinque Terre.
