Getting Here
In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike.
And no two journeys along the same path are alike.

Your aim is to reach the village of Riparbella and it’s best to set your navigation system, if you use one, to this destination first. If you arrive from the coast (Pisa, Rome, Cecina) you’ll arrive in Riparbella and cross the village through the main road. Towards the end of the village you will see two large wine vats and a pink bike, continue straight passing the vats and the bike on your right. 20 meters after this you’ll reach a junction, turn right, it is also signposted “Casale Pundarika”. Continue straight on for about 500 meters and after a little bridge turn left, signposted again Casale Pundarika. You’ll see an electric barrier which is the start of our private road for which you will have received an access code. Start the drive uphill. Please be aware this is a country road, only partly paved and we suggest you proceed slowly in 1st or 2nd gear while driving up this last part . Follow the wooden signs until you reach us!
Plane
PISA Airport, served by Ryanair and EasyJet among others, is the closest airport to us. From there you can reach Pisa train station and take a train to CECINA, the closest train station to our place.
You can also rent a car at the airport.
We will be happy to provide directions if you arrive to a different Airport like Florence, Milan or Rome.
Train
The closest train station is CECINA which is well connected with direct trains to and from Florence, Rome and Milan.
We can arrange a pick up service at the train station on request.
There are also buses going to the village of Riparbella from Cecina train station but they run infrequently.
Bike or On Foot
First of all congratulations! We are happy that you care about the environment. You have to hike to the village of Riparbella, from there you can continue your hike to Casale Pundarika signposted at the end of the village after the garbage cans. From the village it’s a 20 minutes walk, but if you want to avoid the last 800 meters after the bridge, which are pretty steep, we will be happy to pick you up in the village.
