From Capoliveri you drive into the Parco Nazionale dell’Arcipelago Toscano. This nature park lies within the estate and after 7 kilometers (unpaved) through this park you arrive at Tenuta delle Ripalte with the 19th century mansion that serves as a small charming hotel. Spread across the estate are several villas, apartments in the outbuildings and the agricampeggio, located among pine trees, fruit trees and vineyards. This fantastic estate has 12 km of private coastline and 8 beaches, one with a restaurant and one with a beach bar.
