Together with my two sons, ages 8 and then 10, I walked a four-day, three-night trek. Everything went well. We had a lot of fun and I enjoyed all the time together. Taking care of Selvaggia, our donkey, sleeping in tents, eating at agriturismo and then swimming in the pool was perfect and well taken care of. Tinne, thank you! We will definitely come back again.
Wir hatten ein wunderbares 5-tägiges Abenteuer mit Fiamma, unserer sehr braven Eseldame. Die Organisation war perfekt, das Navigieren mit dem GPS kinderleicht, die Unterkünfte großartig mit sehr netten Gastgebern und sehr leckerem Essen! Nicht zu vergessen, die Pools, einfach wunderbar so eine Abkühlung nach der Wanderung!
Was will man mehr!
Ein großes Dankeschön an Tinne und ihr Team, wir kommen gerne wieder 🙂 .
Wir haben das Trekking mit unserer Eseldame Diaspora sehr genossen. Als Gruppenchefin führte sie uns gemächlich aber zielstrebig von einer Fressgelegenheit zur nächsten.
Die Landschaft war wunderbar, obwohl auch uns die Hitze etwas zusetzte. Zum Glück gab es bei jeder Unterkunft einen Pool, da genossen wir die Abkühlung während sich Diaspora weiterhin ihrer Lieblingsbeschäftigung widmete: Fressen!
Verpflegt wurden wir immer köstlich und üppig, ein grosser Dank geht an die Gastgeber.
Das Tipi in Libbiano allerdings hatten wir nicht für uns alleine: Offensichtlich hatte auch eine Ameisenkolonie die Unterkunft gebucht.
An dieser Stelle möchten wir uns nochmals bedanken für die professionelle Einführung in die Eselpflege. Toll, wie ihr das macht! Wir hatten grossen Spass und können das Abenteuer allen Tierliebhabern und Wanderfreunden sehr empfehlen.
This summer with our daughters ages 4 and 6, we did the five-day trek with Camelia. It was an adventure, it was beautiful and it was unforgettable. At times challenging for both the children and us, but above all unique. A close bond with Camelia soon developed and the goodbye was painful for our girls. Highly recommended with kids if you like adventure and challenge!
Hello, wir hatten eine sehr schöne und abenteuerliche Zeit mit unserer Eseldame Kamelia. Wir haben die wunderschöne Landschaft genossen, tolle Aussichten gehabt, uns im Flusswasser erfrischt, sogar Stachelschweinstacheln gefunden, die wunderbare Unterkunft mit Pool geschätzt und waren stolz, die langen Wanderungen trotz großer Hitze geschafft zu haben. Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg
We did the five-day trip libbiano together with our friends and children. A total of 5 adults and 5 children between 5 and 11. Added to that were Paula and Penelope, and what nice ladies they were. Sometimes a bit stubborn (though we all are sometimes) but mostly very sweet and affectionate. Our children found it super fun to brush and groom them.
The walks themselves, through beautiful countryside, were at times quite tough due to the heat. But all in all certainly doable with small children. The youngest ones could sit on the donkey when it was a bit flatter and of course they loved it.
Upon arrival we were always very warmly welcomed by the owners of the agriturismo. First putting the donkeys away in the meadow with fresh hay and water, and then finding refreshment at/in the pool (by the way, all B&B's are very beautiful, large enough and well maintained). In the evening we always got fantastic Italian meals, complete with dessert and limoncello and/or grappa.
For us an unforgettable experience and highly recommended! Our children still talk about 'their' donkeys every day and they are missed. Give them another big hug from all of us!!!
Hello Tinne,
We are now back in Germany and are just reviewing our vacation. It really was a wonderful adventure with Carolina and Mojra - not always easy going, but we had great experiences and impressions. Above all, I have forgotten everything that is going on in the world at the moment and was completely in nature. That was really good. So please hug "our" two donkeys from us. We often speak of the two.
Best,
Dagmar
A settembre 2021 abbiamo trascorso una bellissima settimana insieme a Fiamma, una delle asine di Tinne. E´ stato il trekking più bello per la nostra famiglia:
- le nostre figlie, sempre attente ad occuparsi dell'asina, non si sono veramente accorte delle distanze che percorrevamo quotidianamente - o perlomeno non se ne lamentavano 😉
- tutti gli agriturismi in cui abbiamo pernottato (a volte in tenda, a volte in stanza) sono delle bellissime strutture (quasi sempre con piscina inclusa!), i proprietari molto simpatici e gentili e la cucina toscana è ovviamente squisita
- la natura dell' alta Val di Cecina ci ha impressionato, soprattutto per i bellissimi panorami che abbiamo visto durante il tragitto
- dopo qualche giorno l'asina è diventata un membro della famiglia aggiuntivo - una bellissima esperienza sia per noi genitori che per le nostre figlie
- l'organizzazione del tour è stata ottima da parte di Tinne, molto flessibile ad adattare il tragitto alle nostre richieste
In conclusione: un consiglio per tutti gli amanti della natura che vogliano fare un'esperienza di trekking diversa dal solito, con tanta genuinità, ma senza rinunciare a molti comfort ed all'ottima accoglienza delle strutture ricettive scelte da Tinne.
We walked a 7 day hike (with rest day) with Diaspora in the summer of 2021. It was a tough and very successful trip. We really spent a week feeling at one with nature. We met almost no people along the way and the food at the locations was top-notch everywhere. We liked it so much that we are going to do a similar trip again this year. Our 6-year-old son also enjoyed it, although it took some getting used to at first. We are a fit and athletic family but found the trek (in the middle of summer) challenging, especially the 1st and 3rd hiking days. Keep this in mind and set out on time. Diaspora is a tremendously sweet little donkey that we enjoyed very much. Thank you Tinne for arranging it, it was one of the most special vacations we have had as a family.
Vanessa, Jan and James
How much we enjoyed the ride! Camelia did super well and especially today we had a nice rhythm to it. The river was adventurous and this morning the donkeys were having some trouble getting apart, so Diaspora suddenly came running when we were just on the trail. She was very happy when she got to our little donkey and we waited a while for the other family to come running. Very funny for us. Otherwise it was very relaxed and we look back on 2 fantastic days. And gluten-free was both well organized, especially with Valentina it was pampering. Thanks for organizing and we will definitely recommend it to others!
