The beautiful village of Compiano
The Night in a Yurt in the Apennines itinerary is for overnights in a Mongolian yurt among the Apennine peaks, overlooking the Ghirardi Regional Oasis, about an hour by road from Parma, and is hosted by the friendly owners of a farmhouse and the caretaker of Compiano Castle. Visitors can enjoy yoga classes and Shiatsu massages, the local cuisine and explorations of the beautiful little walled town of Compiano and its manor house with its secret prisons. The many walking trails in the Ca 'Cigolara woods further add to this unique experiential journey.
Overnights in yurts
The itinerary, which is valid up to October 2022, costs €218 per person in one of the nine yurts, built in natural materials, and simply but very comfortably furnished. They are built on wooden platforms to provide better insulation against the cold, and are equipped with electricity and external toilets.
