The Hostel agri-camping VIPIANA, former “Casa Bibi”, has been open since January 2020. The current building is the restoration of the old farmhouse, which appears in maps from 1830. The initial structure has been enlarged over the past 200 years, with different areas added depending on the needs of the time. Today the house has areas for people, and other areas for animals and farm implements.

The structure is the last one after leaving the village of Monte a Pescia, just before the forest begins, recognizable by some chestnut drying sheds here and there.
The architectural, structural and functional reconstruction of the farmhouse was carried out so that the current structure is efficient and energy-saving, and at the same time respects the original characteristics of the structure in the use of locally available materials.
The farmhouse hostel is run by the family.
From the hostel begin and arrive important and interesting hiking trails.
