Holiday farmhouses are having a great success in Lombardy. From the river Po to the romantic Lake District (comprehending Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, Lake Iseo, Lake Garda), holiday farmhouses allow the visitors to reconnect themselves with nature, tradition and rural culture. And that's the main reason for their success and their increasing diffusion. The diffusion of this new for of accomodation for tourists helped the restoration of ancient farmhouses which risked to be destroyed and got lost for good. Holiday farmhouses often offer the opportunity to taste organic produce and organic meat, raised and cultivated by the farmhouses' owners themselves.
Lombardy is probably not the most famous touristic region in Italy, but it offers a surprisingly wide variety of landscapes: the mountains (Central Alps) degrading into romantic hills, the alpine lakes and the plains (the vast "Pianura Padana"). Finding a holiday farmhouse in Lombardy is quite easy because farmhouses are very common in all the region which used to be extensively cultivated and still is. Most ancient farmhouses in Lombardy have been restored and offer a high-standard accomodation and services.
A farmhouse holiday in Lombardy will make you experience the tasty flavours of an ancient rural cooking tradition, which characterised the region before the Industrialisation. Northern Italy's food culture is quite different from the Southern one, the most reknowed outside Italy, often and incorrectly identified as the only "Italian cooking style". Even food names hardly sounds "Italian" to foreigners' ears: buseca, casoeula, bruscitt. But risotto and polenta are all the rage in high-class restaurants and they're staples of Nothern Italy's cuisine, as much as spaghetti are the symbol of Southern Italy's tradition. Another Northern delicacy is cured meat, which is often produced by farmhouses' landlords.
A farmhouse holiday invites you to discover and experience new itineraries every day. Whether your vacation is long-period staying or just a short week-end, you'll have many opportunities the savour the magical atmosphere of the farmhouse's life. What makes a farmhouse holiday a true life-experience is its direct connection with Italian rural roots, an ancient civilization is living a new dinamic phase of its history. Tuscany is already a symbol for this new form of accomodation and hospitality, especially among foreigner tourists, but holiday farmhouses are present and well-organised in all Italian regions.
