A holiday farmhouse in Lombardy is an ideal accomodation either for a long vacation or for a short break in Italy. Lombardy is the easiest reachable region in Italy: different international airport are in Lombardy (Malpensa, Linate, Bergamo). A few-hour flight can take you from the grey and noisy city to the green and silent farmhouse on Lake Como. And for a couple of days you can relax while the kids can get in touch with domestic animals (horses, goats, cows and ducks) and a healthy lifestyle.
A farmhouse holiday is an interesting alternative to the usual seaside or mountain vacation. A holiday in a farmhouse can provide a well balanced mix of relax, culture, nature and fantastic food. In Italy holiday farmhouses are common in all the country, but especially in the Central regions: Tuscany, Umbria, Le Marche, Latium. But the other Italian regions are quickly catching up, since this kind of accomodation and vacation is widely successful among tourists. Living in a farmhouse allows the tourists to experience directly the Italian lifestyle in the most beautiful areas of Italy.
Germans, English, Americans, Japanese: all the nationalities are represented among farmhouses tourists. The increasingly great success of farm holidays in Italy is not surprising: a farmhouse allows a wider freedom in comparison to traditional hotels and a closer connection to nature and rural life. Living in a farmhouse can take you back to a different, basic human dimension, which is lost to so many people, in so many countries. Confidence, truthfulness, informality: enjoy the atmosphere created by a traditional Italian farmhouse, wholesome and earthy meals, friendly and reliable landlords. That's the added value brought to you by a farmhouse holiday in Italy.
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.
