A nature & sports getaway
Ever feel like escaping the city? Exchange your fast-paced life for a 5-day recharge focused on sports and nature in 2023. In collaboration with Novanta experience hotel Wild Boars offers the perfect sports and nature getaway for you to enjoy with your friends, siblings or perhaps all by yourself. Our playground is a Tuscan valley 8 times the size of the Amsterdam Vondelpark. Free facilities include cosy fires, fresh mountain air, and starry evening skies.
Accommodation
two types of stay in one getaway
wild glamping
2 nights
Your journey starts down in the valley, where you spend two nights wild glamping in a comfortable safari tent installed for your stay. Here life is simple and the days are best spent river canyoning, swimming, wood chopping and outdoor cooking. These experiences are all facilitated (and guided if you wish). We’ll make sure you explore the best spots in the valley, but there is also time for simply hammocking and gazing the stars. On the last morning you say goodbye to camp for an early morning hike to the mountain top, while your luggage is transported to the next accommodation.
Novanta Hotel
3 nights
On your arrival in the formerly abandoned Tuscan village of Borgo di Gello there is time to enjoy the pool, before a 3-course dinner at Hotel Novanta, which will provide a good night’s rest afterwards. This medieval village has a restaurant, yoga pavillion, massage salon and a pool with a view so there is plenty of space to recover and relax. After a good session in the outdoor medieval gym and some stretching, the wood-fired hot tub is ready. You can book a massage and/or other experiences directly at the hotel such as a wine course or food workshop and a mountainbike tour.
