The mountain farm and the Tomasino family
This is the story of mountain farm Salvin. Pure air and genuine food.
The first brick was laid in 1981.
In 1983 it was decided to unite the mountain activities with farming activities. Our mountain farm opened on the 5th of May 1985. In the same year, the Tomasino family won the ‘ loyalty to the mountains’ award from the national Alpine association.
In 1992 Susan Allen (Beppe’s English wife), joins the team. One year later their twins, Emily and Benjamin are born.
1994 was the beginning of a new important venture for children and teenagers: summer camp salvin, uniting mountain and farming activities with educational activities in English.
In 1999 extreme weather conditions badly damaged our mountain farm, ripping off the roof.
In 2000 our third child, George was born.
The first 20 years of Salvin were celebrated in 2005 with the Alpine association and the presence of important politicians.
It was decided in 2007 to renovate our mountain farm to make it more spacious and comfortable for our customers.
Beppe’s mother, Bruna Maria a fundamental support to Salvin, sadly passed away in 2013.
Two years later Salvin reached 30 years of activity. This important goal is celebrated with 3 days of festivity.
This is the story of Mountain Farm Salvin. During all these years we would like to say thank you for the support of the local authorities and all the people that have been with us since the beginning of this journey.
We will do our best to continue to drive forward the great Tomasino family.
